I have a 7170 that I keep having to go back every couple of weeks to clean the print head. Is there something I can do to keep it from getting toner on it? Maybe a seal that's breaking down and letting toner get on the lens? BTW, it's not in the same spot every time.

In my experience, the 7100 family runs dirty. The left end of the printhead seems to be the worst. You could lower the BIAS 3 setting.

Have you checked out Kip Tech Tip K134-004?

I agree with Mark . That said I don't have near the problems with dirty led's since making sure I have good continuity on the copper strips.

Thanx Arlen, I completely forgot about 134-006. Think I'll pay more attention to the grounds.
