    Ricoh MPC4504 Bypass Trouble

    Hello, I have a bypass tray that has been used regularly as a envelope feeder.
    The unit will pull the envelope for a whole second and then stop with the separation roller pushing the envelope back in to the tray. So far I have changed all the pulleys as well as all the one way clutches and gears. This is a strange problem that also effects letter size paper. Does anyone know of a part number for the bypass unit ( the entire unit )? in the manual it shows only a duplex unit which is the entire right side door. Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the quick response but the only option in the parts manual is for duplex unit. There isn't a right door.

    The pickup roller is lifting while the feed motor is still turning and the lead edge has not yet the next roller.

    Copypaper has always a size limitations on printers...
    Perhaps the size of the enveloppe is to small to fit the minimum standards?

    Are all paper settings correct?
    Fix the by pass paper size to A4.
    Print with on A4 paper
    Same problem?
