- How to clean, fix and extend the life of a Transfer Belt in a color laser printer.
The transfer belt is a rotating belt which carries the mixture of different colors of toner particles.
The transfer belt pass in front of the 4 toner cartridges cyan, magenta, yellow and black.
The cartridges apply each toner layer to the belt, which will then apply the combined layers uniformly onto the paper.
(Transferband, cinghia di trasferimento, courroie de transfert, correa de transferencia intermedia, Unidade da tela de transferência, overdracht riem).
For any question or suggestion leave a comment.

Thank you ❤
Thanks for information.
I'm looking for the wiper blade, and now I find it.
Now I will find a way to dissamble the transfer belt.
My printer is Fujixerox CM205.
May be on Alibaba/Aliexpress. Avoid ebay
@@viandant5
I mean, I tried to find where the wiper blade in my printer.
Now I know where it is from this video. It's in transfer belt block.
Now I try to find how to disassamble the transfer belt block so I can replace then wiper blade.
Thank you!!!!
excellent
This was an amazing video. Thanks! I+m having the message in my HP Colar Laser MFP 178mw printer "replace new transfer belt". The manual says when shown this message: "the life of the transfer belt has expired". Does this mean I MUST replace the belt or can I still clean it and have it working again? I need to make sure I can do that before investing in new toner. Thanks
The cleaning does not cancel the error message. There should be a chip, or a fuse
Every thing you need to know in a few minutes
I hope you can help me. I have a HP 2605dn printer and I love it. After 5 years it has finally run out of toner so I bought some from InkOwl and filled it myself. Now the colors are more faded with full cartridges than they were when they were empty. And there are splotches and streaks of color all over the transfer belt and toner on the cartridge rollers. I have manually cleaned them many times and also ran the cleaning setting. Nothing works. Did I overfill them? This simple printer has never given me any trouble. I'd hate to have to buy another one.
how do you filled them? did you remove the waste toner, at least clean the drum, the charge roller and the doctor blade?
It's better to change the drum anytime you refill your cartridge. Try to change the drum, I bet it will solve the problem
thankyou Mr, Viandant it is very usefull. My printer CP3525 dn , alway restart several times, sometimes it tooks along time to ready state. could you help me which part do i have to check firts. thankyou.
Try to remove and reinstall all consumables, it could be a defective contact. Check the door of the printer, the switcj could be defective
Hi! Great Video! The Transfer Belt for my *OKI* *c5150n* Color Laser Printer keeps showing up online as a Discontinued Product. The Printer Parts Companies that still have them in stock, want over 250.00 bones for them. Can I buy a separate "lone standing" Ribbon Roll of Transfer Film and re-splice it onto my old transfer belt? I've already "taped" my old ripped and torn transfer belt ribbon with Scotch Tape and it's holding, but yes, there's streaks from the pieced tape on my printouts. Any thoughts?
Yes you can, It seems the problem is only the belt and the other components (wiper blade and so on) are ok
Hello, Is there a way to buy a replacement belt/film for the Brother BU-300CL unit ? I don't want to buy the whole BU-300CL unit only the film...
Thank you.
sorry I haven't any source
First thanks for video and Which software have you used for voice?l
The name is zira
Hello my printer leaves black streaks and repeated uniform steaks as shown in the video could you advise on want could causeit on one side of the printer
it depends on which printer do you have. may be the cartridge
May I have the technical document as the picture you have show, please!
which picture?
YOUR ARE A FUCKING HERO DUDE!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Thanks for the video, I have brother colour laser printer L3710, it’s printing colour letters/images with shadows (ghost printing) , i cleaned the drums and seems to be okay , fuser 75% life remaining.
Should i clean the roller attached to the fuser or the tray belt or what to do , thanks a lot for your help.
it could be related to the toner cartridges too
@@viandant5 thank you i changed all the toner cartridges to ( original ) and after calibration working good. So the problem was a defective cartridges ( old) , or only i can install original. Thank you once again and appreciate it.
Good video! I have a question. My printer Brother L3750 can’t perform toner registration. There is an error message on the end of procedure: “Registration Failed”. Color printouts look bad. Each color seems to be misaligned to another (0-1,5 mm). On Brother webpage I’ve find info that it may require changing of belt unit. Any advice?
It depends more often from the drum units. But you need toner registration? do you have quality problems or other error messages?
How to solve light (dim) printout in konika minalto 1580mf toner cartridge tnp28s
Difficult to say, it could be caused by many problems. It could be toner too old, drum, transfer belt unit, transfer roller, magnetic roller...
Great Video! My brother HL-4070CW duplex printer prints random,light toner patterns only on the backs of pages. Could this be the belt? Front of pages is perfect.
Ye it could be the belt but it could also be the second scanner unit, or a dirty paper path or rubber rollers
@@viandant5 Yeah, I had leaky cartridges. Where is the second scanner? I guess it needs a through cleaning. Thanks
It's inside the cover of the scanner I think
@@viandant5 Thanks. this model is just a big printer, not mfc.
Does the brother printer's BU 220CL belt unit have this waste compartment attached to it? the same as in the video?
YEs it has waste toner but it's not the same
funcionou depois da limpeza?
perfeitamente
Great videos. Apreciate your help. Recently I have change the fuser roler of Brother Hl3150.The same as the video. Evreything was good But few days later the black color started to print some mm up, i did registration and failed. I change cartridge and failed. then, i change belt unit from secon hand and fail. I clean drums. I do everythig, and still do not know where can a fix the problem. Any guess?? thanks a lot. Aaaa, i change the black with the blue color, and the problem occur in blue color 😆😆
It could be a deformation of the frame of the drum unit, or a defect on the gear of the drum unit or printer. probably a cleaning is not enought to solve the problem.
thanks i will search info
@viandant5 Thanks for the video! always very helpful, One question, my brother hll9310cdw is trowing too much toner on the belt, I just clean it and the 4 colours were there in big spots, I just clean the drum cilinders also, they were mess uo too, and just noticed that the edge of the pager got some discoloration on it.. I got no spots or holes on the belt is good, is like the magnet or whatever it is that attract the toner is not working, what can i do?
are you sure the environment is not too humid? I think it's a toner cartridge problem
the belt is charged with a charge roller, in this way it attracts the toner powder
@@viandant5 Ok then, I will change the cartdriges to confirm if that's it, because we don't have no humidity right now. Question: my belt is different from the one you are cleaning, should I proceed to clean it like you are showing in this video? I just clean the printer inside out all the little metals and the belt and cylinders from the drum with half and half alcohol and water, so I just send to print a test and came out with 2 blue lines , 1 black and 1 red.. I don't know what i did wrong..
@@lilianalopez9474 YE syou could clean the belt as show in the video. The colored lines are often due to bad contacts or little defects on the belt that without the protective layer discharge on the belt
@@viandant5Great, I am gooing to check on that.. thanks so much!
hello friend, I have a hp m570dn and stains the sheets vertically, when you open the printer the transfer belt is stained, the clean but a few prints again stains the leaves. I do not dare to disarm the girdle, only clean it but it is annoying to do this cleaning at every moment. The option would be to change the belt?
are you sure the problem is the belt? it may be a defective toner cartridge too
hello, the cartridges have changed several times, the printer is used in a school and you always have to reload 2 times and then new cartridges, the lines now come in different luagres but always vertically. At first left to the left side of the sheet, then to the middle and left, varies position.
Hello you've told that there are no reliable ways to restore the scratched drum of a laser printer, but I need to ask you is there any way to restore/fix drum though it may not be reliable?
There are coatings but it's easier and cheaper to buy a new one
Is this belt push the paper in the printer ? If no feed unit
No, the paper is picked up by the paper rubber roller
Hi - precisely at 1:06 the horizontal lines that appear, is that from fusing kit or something else? I watched all your videos but couldn't figure exactly how to fix that issue. Thanks for your hard work!
It depends on the distance between defects
@@viandant5 my printout has the same distance as in the frame at 1:06 and if it only appears when the printer is fired after sitting idle for 20+ minutes on first couple of pages but not the subsequent pages. For e.g., in 10 page printout, only the first two have the roller marks on the left side but the other 8 pages don't.
@@fzall1457 Probably it's a fuser roller problem
@@viandant5 very sad and need help. I bought a new fuser unit, new waste toner bin and used transfer belt but I still have the same problem. Any other thoughts?
It only happens when few pages are printed and system goes in standby for sometime, say 30 mins, and on next print job there are few pages with roller marks on the back side like at 1:06 portion of your video. If the job is long and more than 3 pages are printed continuously then there are no roller marks on remainder of the page.
Fuser 99 out of 100
OKI C841 prnting white lanes down the page. On the belt are scratches. Where is the source of this problem? Thank you
may be a foreign object has damaged the belt, check inside the printer, it's difficult to say
Me too .... no foreign objects though
Hi can you help me? With new or old toners I aways get horizontal black lines. On first page in the middle. On second page on top and almost on 2/3 of the page another line.
Checked the drum and didnt notice any damage. It is a samsung clp 325.
On the page where appear 2 horizontal lines the distance between them is 190 milimeters. Thanks a lot
190 mm the problem is the drum
@@viandant5 sad to hear that. Tks
What is the strength of the isopropyl alcohol? Thanks
what do you mean? isopropyl alcohol is alcohol without residues
91%, 70% is too weak
@@rstjohnw Great to know this but 91% proof alcohol sure went "vapor" in our stores during the Covid19 Era. Was thinking about adding a hint/smidgeon of acetone to my 99cent store 50% proof alcohol which is still available everywhere. Just worried I'll blow the place up like Northern Ireland in the early '90's!!
Can i use ethanol 100% for cleaning belt surface or will I doing that make him useless?Thanks
what's ethanol 100%? isopropyl alcohol? yes, you can use alcohol
@@viandant5 ethanol?
@@thedropperofdroppedItems isopropyl alcohol is not ethanol
@@viandant5 Can i use ethanol for cleaning printer parts?
@@thedropperofdroppedItems Gears fusers and so on? yes
I just cleaned my belt, and find that it's pulling to one side. Is there a way of getting it back in alignment?
it's difficult to say without knowing which is the printer. Is the belt broken or defective? if not, remove and reinstet it
Spring tension problem
@@rstjohnw Thanks D. I called in a friend lifeline. :) Turns out, whatever he did, it's working beautifully.
Not useble for HP4700n.
Wait, so what's the solution for a cleaning blade damage?
You can only change the wiper blade
Clean the blade carefully with ear stick swap and alcohol
Hi. I have an hp colorlaserjet printer mfp m182n. I have refilled all of the 4 cartridges. The printing quality is fine. But there is one problem with the magenta cartridge that few lines of very minimum width appears on its own drum after certain prints.though lines does not come over paper, they only appear on magenta cartridge drum. But after about 100 pages printed successively these lines come over paper.
Would you please tell why this happens? And its solution if it is a problem.
May be a dirty wiper blade, or the developer roller blade too close to the roller
@@viandant5 already done those. But problem still exist.
Another another solution?
@@hathakker802 When you rotate by hand the drum it's normal that a toner line appears on the drum surfsce
@@viandant5 actually the problem is that when I print about 80pages in line, sometimes, the magenta line develops on 50th page and onwards. The line is very very thin. Then when I inspect the drum I see a line on it, then I clean it and rotate it and clean the entire line. After cleaning when I rotate by hand no line appears on drum. Then when I again prints 80 pages in line, magenta line develops on 50th page and onwards
Kindly tell solution of this problem. I have already cleaned the wiper blade, developer roller , pcr and opc drum
thanks for the videos ,my printer is not working , all the papers are getting spoil from too many color after printing how can i get it fix?
without knowing wich printer do you have it's difficult to say. may be the dum unit
@@viandant5 ok thanks for the response the printer name is Laser jet pro CM1415fn color MFP how can you help me to work it up
@@we-carefoundationngo113 This printer has toner cartridges with lot of problems. Check the transfer belt too, is it dirty?
@@viandant5 Let me take the opportunity to ask: From your experience with the CM1415, do you know what can cause a very faint print in all 4 toners? I already disassembled it, cleaned transfer belt and inside housing with no result - some people say the HV power supply may have problems, but I wonder if there is any other cause for the faint print (this is a very low usage printer). Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!
@@JoseSilveira-newhandleforYT It could be the power supply but cleaning the transfer belt may be not enough if the belt is too worn or old.
Great Jobs!! , What is the model of unit from 1:20 ? Thanks!!
A Brother model
@@viandant5 Looks a bit like a Brother HL-3170 or similar printer.
Hi. I have a samsung clp-680.
When i print documents it will work perfectly, but on images or pictures is blurry. What do you think i can do to make it work??
Thank you
Does black images have problens? It could be something related to a color cartridge. Did you check the printer settings?
Thank you for your reply
Black it doesnt have any problem or any written thing just on images...yellow goes 1mm to the right side and blue goes down 1mm... dont know what to do in settings
@@AURELIANBXXX I dont' remember how to do the calibration on that printer, if you have the manual there should be the procedure
I don't have the manual but i will search online for it ... thank you for your time and help.
my printer doesnt print magenta color, i think maybe laser of magenta cartridge is obstructed, Where is the laser of magenta cartridge?, my printer is hp cp1525, pls help me, sorry about my English.
I think is a toner cartridge problem. did you try to change cartridge? check the connection between printer and cartridge. a defective laser scanner should give an errro message
@@viandant5 What if the printer doesn't have beam detect sensor? Could be bad transfer or transfer high voltage. Clean the magenta transfer components.
I wish to know how to clean waste tonner hopper hp 3525
The waste toner hopper is inside the toner cartridge
@@viandant5 true the bottle u r taking about. Am asking how to clean waste if there in tranfer belt hp3525 as in other model there is area where the waste stored under transfer belt
my ITB is not rotating and i dont know why
How fo you know it's not rotating? Did you try to manually rotate it?
Hi Sir. I have a 3530 HP Laserjet colour printer, its showing error message "transfer unit missing". I would appriciate if you could help
Are you sure the transfer unit is installed?
Hi! Im wondering if my issue is from the transfer belt. It prints some of the papper, but some zones appears white. As a jump every rottating pappers is going. it happens in all the pappers, but not in the same posittion.Sorry about my english
It depends on which printer do you have and which is the distance between defects
@@viandant5 thanks for the reply. Its a lbp5300 canon.
Im pretty sure is the transfer belt . The blanc zones are blanc... as if the tonner didnt touch the papper. Im waiting a replace for it.
@@MrRoicinho But are you sure? It's more probable the drum or the toner cartridge
@@viandant5 quite sure. The tonner are new... ive tried with the old ones and same result.
The fact is that seems that not tonners dust is impregnating the zones of the paper at some regular spaces
@@MrRoicinho which is the distance between the defects?
my belt kept showing up the previous print image. so my next print will have a light prinout of previous print. how to fix that?
It depend on which printer do you have. could be not related to the belt but a toner problem
thanks for your reply. it's Fuji Xerox DocuCentre V C4475. faulty toner? how to check a leaked toner ?
It's a defect moslty related to Drum orr fuser unit
thank you sir!
will it help to clean the drum and the fuser?
Are Transfer Belts replaceable? ie, are there parts for them?
Yes, they are replaceable but spare parts are not alqays available
@@viandant5 With some machines you replace the complete assembly. Please refer to the operations manual specific to your printer/MFC
stampante colorlaserjet pro MFP M277dw. Homesso una cinghia nuova e mi da errore 59.C0.
E' un errore di hardware, un motore non gira correttamente ma potrebbe anche essere causato da una cartuccia toner difettosa che non fa girare il motore o anche dalla cinghia di trasferimento che non fa girare il motore di movimento. Controlla se la cinghia gira manualmente, prova a togliere e rimettere tutti i consumabili
my toenails are rolling up
Ciao,
ho tolto e rimesso la cinghia. Ora mi da: ERRORE 59. Da cosa può dipendere? Potrei fare qualcosa?
Grazie
Ma che stampante?
do not use any kind of liquid, not even alcohol, to clean the belt. use a microfiber cloth. even alcohol will leave streak lines, and it's supposed to be residue free. it isn't.
Thank you for sharing this thought, I cringed at the alcohol solution. I wrecked an older HP LaserJet 4 without the appropriate info. I would say if you want to do any maintenance, first step is reading the manual. Reading that will say what you can do. I bought my Brother colour LED printer from a business equipment dealer and if I ever need it to be cleaned, I will trust the techs there.
