    Re: Ricoh Aficio 3030 Paper Jamming about halfway in fuser

    This is probably due to the lower fuser frame being brocken. If you remove the hot roller on the right side of the lower fuser frame a bit of the plastic can snap and it doesn't hold the bearing on the hot roller in place thus only fusing one side of the paper correctly. If you order the lower fuser frame you will need to carefully remove the wiring and thermostats from the old housing. There is a spring loaded plate that is a bit of a nightmare to put back on if you don't look at how the spring is positioned on the left side of the lower frame. Also there is a black lever next to the left side screw that has to be swapped over and can easily be missed.

    or you can just use an aficio 350 heat roller bearing with the ring around it on the side that is broken.

    Agreed. A whole lot easier, and way less time consuming

    it might be that the pressure roller ball bearing is not in it's proper position because (f.i.) the green lever might be broken.
    Paper Size in tray and orientation are the same as programmed in machine?

    What's the total copy count on this machine?

    Check size dials on paper trays (usually on rear side of cassette, sometimes the front).
    Check End fences in paper tray
    Clean Feed Rollers.
    Check/ Replace Sep. Pad in trays.
    Clean Sensors.
    Clean Registration Roller.
    Check that Press roll bearing isn't caught (spring side).
    Check that the bearing seat for the Hot Roller isn't broken.
    Check that fuser swivel Drive gear (in machine) isn't damaged (grinding/thumping noises??).

    Once you check all those and it still jams:
    Check that the tray lift motor isn't at fault (probably not if it's happening from both trays).
    Check Feed clutches.
    Etc. Etc. Etc. (common troubleshooting procedures).

    Bent the rear side of the metal frame off the stripper finger bar, so that the ball bearing is blocked or fixed.

    What does this mean? The jam code tells you what component is seeing a malfunction.

    And what was the code? It should be JXXX where XXX is a 3 digit number, not the letter code. The jam code tells us a lot more about where the jam is actually occurring at and more importantly where is is a lead edge or trail edge jam.
