Questions about Ricoh 2232c Toner Cartridges

Question: The ricoh 2232c toner is fading. I have changed the drum and cleaned the machine but all the colors are printing as if they’re not getting enough toner or the toner is not being transferred and sticked into the drum. What else can I do?

Answer: Such as ricoh 2232c toner cartridges, drums and developer units are meant to last a specific time, check the age of these parts and replace them if necessary. Another possible reason for this to be happening is that the optics are dirty, go ahead and clean them. Also you can try to do an auto color calibration in system menu 123 button.

Question: Whenever I print more than 20 print jobs I’m getting yellow streaks across the top header of the page. I already replaced the ricoh 2232c toner yellow but it didn’t work. Any ideas?

Answer: You should try to replace your developer unit and drum unit.

Question: Every time I print with my Ricoh 2232c printer, I’m getting a black line on the paper. If I print double sided the line is in both lines... should I replace the toner?

Answer: It seems like there is nothing wrong with the ricoh 2232c toner, the problem might be with the drum unit, try to replace it and see how it goes.

Question: I have red stripes in all the pages I print in color. Is it a problem with the magenta toner?

Answer: It probably isn’t a problem with the magenta toner, it is most likely to be something related with the magenta photoconductor unit, which needs replacing.

Question: My printer, Ricoh 2232C just gave me the following message: "Functional problems within your computer. Turn operation on then off. If the error appears again, call service. SC 440-01." I have turned it off, but it still shows the same message.

Answer: In this case your Ricoh Aficio 2232c is indicating black drum motor lock with SC440-01 message. The waste toner in the black pcu is attached. You could replace the black pcu but it could happen again. The problem should be oil in the main waste toner system. It clumps up the toner and clogs the part where all the waste toner comes together for entry into the waste toner bottle. It is important to clean all that oil and prevent the same problem.
