    Aficio 2018D Feed Issue

    Hi everyone,

    Lately, i noticed frequent jams when using either Tray 3 or 4 on our 2018D. When i check the jammed paper, there are multiple sheets. I thought it was just the paper sticking together.

    When i put a different size of paper in one of the trays, i found out the the jam was actually caused by paper from BOTH trays feeding SIMULTANEOUSLY. The jammed paper were of different sizes which means they came from both trays.

    Then i emptied tray 3. The machine made a terrible noise like the feeding roller is spinning against the friction pad of the empty tray.

    When I empty tray 4 and load tray 3, it doesn't feed at all.

    Anybody experienced this trouble? I would appreciate any inputs.

    Thanks very much.

    Yes, and you're not fixing this with couple of sentences of advice.
    You need a tech, or a new machine.
    The choice is yours

    My vote is for a new machine. These POS are notorious for having the registration bushings break the hook that the pressure springs attach to.
