mpc2050 jamming

[slot]

i have a mpc2050 brand new and it jams from tray 2 only intermitantly i have changed all the parts in the bulletin and the cluches on both trays and the brackets and the lower side door and the entirer d/plex side of the copier the code in the smc is 17 i have also changed the firmware and screwed the side fence in place im now going nuts any ideas please

Where are the jams logged on the SMC? I saw one of these the other day where the feed tyre had run off the notch on the shaft, it is possible it might be doing that.

the goose guide for Jam code 17 says 'Replace Relay roller spring clutch (D0391166)'

that being said...I had one where I had to change the sp for the for the tray lift motor reverse. I don't remember the sp off the top of my head. But the bottom line is that when the tray lifts it actuates a sensor and the reverses slightly to lower the paper a bit depending on thin or regular paper. By playing with the amount of reverse to back the paper away less I was able to make it work.

take tray one out and watch how the lift/reverse works. You'll see what I mean.

Let me add that mine was an intermittent non-feed.

thanks for the info guys the jam on the smc is code 17 (relay/transport) i have changed all the slip/relay clutch on both feed units as per the bulletin and the brackets that can get bent i will look into the lift pressure idea thanks for your input again

I found another plate not described in the bulletin, which was bent, I like you had changed all clutches etc. The plate is specific tray 2 path, and I think it got damaged when lifting in to the van on install, it sits very low, almost below the level of the bottom of the machine. The part no is D0392791 see page UO11 of the parts manual.

Check what KopyKat wrote.There is a entry in the hot topics on the Ricoh site.Even gives you info on which way to change the sp mode.Dont remember what month it was on but i do remember reading it.

Used to have to mess with lift motor reverse time with the older xx22/27 series all the time also.

[Kopyrtek]

At least they gave us some wiggle room with those models.Has been a big help.Yes,the 22/27 models needed some tweaking Fearless, as do these.

I've never changed this setting - the tray lift coupling is probably cracked if you need to change it.
