Thanks for that, I saw that rtb. One thing I did notice with the machine was how much it moved when copying and scanning simultaneously. As it's on that industrial carpet stuff I decided to apply the stabilizers to restrict movement. I stayed with the customer for an hour while approx 350 scans were made and no sc124. If it comes in again I'll have to go with the rtb. However trying to convince our service manager to buy a board on the stregnth of a Ricoh rtb is a challenge I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy!!
You should at least check the scanner pulley set screw. It is easy to check, and is a very common problem on that model. If it is loose or broken you will get excessive movement (slamming of the scanner).
Don't take that toner with me!
Hell of a choice!
Wrath of the Manager, or re stringing The scanner on an AF551!!!
Ist thing to do is check the serial number against the cut off on the RTBs
2nd, invest in the modified (Hardened) scanner screws, less likely to shear.
3rd, check the internal cover to the right hand side of the lens block cover for signs of damage, will indicate if the scanner has crashed at all.
Good answer...and in 99% of the time this sensor is dirty and you will see a SC495.
For your code SC590 if everything looks OK in the vertical transport (if the transport screw it's not damaged - see TSB 001) replace the push switches (AW50 0023). I saw the problem many times...waste toner covering those switches and SC 590 shows on the screen. Also responsible for this code could be the 2 sensors (AW02 0145) on your vertical waste toner transport. Good luck.
Hi,
there are three sensors in toner recycling unit to the waste toner bottle,
1st from the transfer belt unit waste toner tube.
2nd from the developer unit waste toner tube.
3rd from the entrance of the waste toner bottle tube.
you have to reach to this sensors by opening back cover.
check all this 3 sensors and verify if they are in home position.
Good hunting.
