Gregory, First remove the drum unit. Then remove the Charge unit. located about the drum on the drum cartridge (Not Inside the Machine) Then remove scortron grid push the front in to release you then have access to the charge wire this model may have the Charge comb type be care the combs are sharp if they are wires be gentle and use a eraser to gentle clean the wires they are very thin. During the copy process the wire/comb applies a HV charge on the drum prior to the image from the mirrors being place on the drum before the paper arrives underneath the drum.

Btw, I’m available to help over the phone in case u need at https://www.6ya.com/expert/normanj_7893313f0751935f

SOURCE: error c2557 konica minolta 250/NEC IT2530

Reset it, start it with the right door open, go to service mode, clear the counters for drum and developer and go to functions menu. Close the right door and start immediately the F8 function. It should work.

SOURCE: Konica/Minolta biz 350 C2557 after replacing DV unit and drum F8

tha minolta di3510 developer unit looks the same as the unit for the konica minolta bizhub 350 but the toner sensor in the minolta unit uses a different voltage range for the toner sensor and it will throw this code make sure you have the correct unit for this machine also you can try this
go back into tech rep mode and change these settings:
select tech rep choice mode
select printer tab
select atdc sensor gain
set the value to about 165
then back all the way out to the ready screen and power the machine off then back on and replenish toner in the user management screen.

SOURCE: Problem with Konica 7145.. When i make copies it duplicates some lines and reprints them lower on page (more faded) and also the first lines of the copy are blured in a point that they are not readabl

Manousos Xatzidakis:

I would take another look at the drum cleaning blade as well as the CEL and PTL. Any time I've had problems with double images, the drum carriage and parts associated to it have been the problem. I remember one notable case where I removed and shrouded the drum to protect it from light, cleaned both the charge corona and the discharge corona, cleaned the PCL and the PTL of toner dust, vacuumed the drum carriage of toner dust, cleaned the developer unit and replaced the developer. I finally got clear copies and the customer was satisfied.

Minolta 7228 moved from one location to another now copies not clean.

I doubt that moving the machine has caused the problem shown.
Regardless- the copier drum is not being cleaned.
I would begin by replacing the Drum Blade.
It is technical and will require your knowledge of the service manual procedure.

Good luck

Copies have lines through them.

Odds are you are going to need a new drum & cleaning blade for black lines and for white lines you may need a developer change or clean the primary & transfer corona units.

My minolta ep 4000 copier prints with thick black streaks imprinted on page. what's wrong? is it the corona, the drum, or something else?

Most likely it is the drum cleaning blade. One indicator of the drum cleaning blade going bad is that the black lines will get worse as you run multiple copies. So if you make 10 copies for example, the last copy out will be streaked worse than the first copy out. Drum cleanig blades are about $30 bucks plus whatever your local service guy charges for a svc call.
Good Luck and Thank You for using Fixya.
