Ghosts in Konica 1350w???

[gr]

Got a Konica-Minolta 1350W that started having repeat ghost images, but
only when there are large black areas or very big print (an a bit of
gray on the leading edge). The counter shows 16000 pages or so, and it
is about 2 yrs old. Change of toner cart did not help.
Any way to clean this up?

I have never even seen one of these but most ghosting in laser printers is
caused by the drum unit.
I believe this printer has separate toner and drum, if so I think the problem
will be the drum unit which I believe has a 20,000 page life so it is close to
end of life depending on the average print cover per page.
The next most likely cause is the Image Transfer roller in the printer and
finally the fuser.
What is the exact distance between the beginning of the original image and the
beginning of the ghost? This will provide a clue.
