Hello and thanks every body who read and maybe post some advice.
Before all of this i need to tell i am not very experienced with copier service and i run this activity ocasionaly.
I have a customer who has an ir 1024 with black lines on copied paper. One year back i changed image unit and problem resolved. Now same problem ocured and it is need to change the image unit, but client can't aford this operation for moment (it is a school with limited budget this year). So i comanded a opc drum kit from katun performance. It came with drum and drum cleaning blade. I replaced booth and put it back. But now a very dezagreable noise is hear when machine is running. I make various tests inclusively withowt image unit and only with old drum handled my self in place where it must be runed and rotated, and definately the noise came from internaly agitator of imaging unit. I greased the later pinions (it is three) in a hope that noise would dissapear but the sound is still here. In the final moment i discarded the midle pinion that make link betwwen the first part of agitator and second part. Now there is no sound.
My question:
Is there anything else that can i do, to run with the pinion of agitator linked and withowt sound (what can i do to have everything working and the pinion puled back?)
What it can hapen if the agitator is not working ? (the image unit remain without the second pinion)
Later edit : i runned a 500 sheets copy test and everything seems fine. I dont have misfeed paper and paper with toner dust but i wonder what could be after 5000 page or 15000 pages ?
Every input it will be greately apreciated.
Many thank in advance for avery reply and sory for my realy bad enghlish.
Also greatings from Romania ;)
