Hi, I have a Ricoh Aficio SP5200DN that is printing documents where you can only barely see the image - faint shadow. Have replaced the Toner and Fusing unit. Could it be the laser unit or polygon mirror motor? I know the answer is probably 'could be anything', but wondering if there's some experts that would have some input. I do have a parts printer I could swap things out with, but didn't want to just start swapping things without some input. Thanks!

You are right, it could be anything, so here’s a few possibilities.. (I’m no expert)

Try cleaning the scanner window with a soft dry cloth.
Try replacing the laser unit..

These are the most obviously ones..:hu
