The black strip is coming unglued and folding down inside the paper fence, with the sticky side touching the paper unless I carefully hold the strip up against the fence when I put paper into the...
Thanks for the comments on this. I will remove it and see what happens, both regarding proper paper feeding and my occasional black mark on the edge. Could either of you tell me how much these cost...
On a Ricoh SP C410DN main paper tray, there is a little black velcro-like strip on the side of the paper fence called "Seal, Side Fence, Right Front" part number G102-2861. Mine has split at the top,...
I thought about that, but the actual Ricoh Foot Part extends upward into the printer to some point that must be fairly solid and intended to support a portion (1/4) of the printer's weight for each...
That is very helpful to know.
Thank you.
John
Could someone tell me how the Foot Holder can be removed and replaced, i.e. how hard is it to replace the Foot Holder?
I am assuming the "Foot" simply and easily plugs into the Foot Holder (P/Ns in...
I just got a used Ricoh SP C410DN and discovered that a foot (or two feet) are broken or damaged as they barely protrude from the bottom of the printer.
All I see is an almost square hollow plastic...
If you remove the PCUs from the printer and look at the surface below where they sit, you will see a large metal sheet divided with separating rails that position the PCUs. In the middle of each of...
I ran the color maintenance adjustment as you suggested and it worked like a charm. Thank you for pointing that out. John
After fixing a problem that required removing the laser to remove the laser seals (one came loose and partially blocked the laser for the Magenta PCU), I have a new problem.
The Yellow is shifted...
Solved and fixed.
Problem was caused by the laser shutter seals, those little strips of felt seal glued to the underside of the shutter. One had come loose at one end and was partially blocking...
Thank you for your suggestion.
Unfortunately, for this printer, I do not understand what part of the printer this item is to be used for cleaning.
Are these for the Photo Conductor Units (PCUs)? ...
Any other ideas or suggestions, please?
Thank you.
John
Great suggestions but no joy!
I pulled the PCUs and cleaned the glass although it did not appear to be dirty.
Rocked the Magenta PCU back and forth a few times and put it back in. Stripe...
How can I tell if the toner has clumped in the PCU?
Would it be possible to gently rock the PCU to get to un-clump i.e. break up?
Thanks,
John
Thank you for the ideas. I will clean the laser glass - I didn't think of that.
When I print with my Ricoh CL4000DN, there is an area (vertical stripe up the page) on the right side of the page (perhaps 1 - 1.5 inches from edge) where Magenta does not appear. May not be quite...
Vacuumed out all the Magenta and Cyan toner that was scattered around and also wiped down the insides as best I could with alcohol on a soft rag. I have a good sized print job to do soon so that...
I don't know how to clean the Charge Rollers - I don't think I saw that covered in the Service Manual that I have. I pulled the PCUs and cleaned (vacuumed) them externally as much as possible, and...
Thanks for the suggestions. It turned out to be printer drivers in Windows. I removed all the drivers and re-installed the PCL 5C ones and this problem has gone away. Something must have gotten...
Ricoh CL4000DN with about 60,000 pages. PCUs and transfer belt unit replaced around 50,000. Printer started getting occasional red smears or splotches on pages recently.
Red spots would be 1/4...
The plot thickens! I printed some pages at 1200 DPI to see if it looked better. Printed much slower, but I learned something. The blank/white stripe is not solid, like the toner being scraped off...
Thank you for the information and the TSB. You got an amazing deal on that printer! I will look into it. Did you replace the parts in the fuser or the whole fuser? If parts, where did you get them...
Richard,
Thanks for the great suggestion.
When I replaced the 4 PCUs, I noticed a bit of toner scattered around the area of those slits.
I wasn't sure if they were glass or...
My Ricoh CL4000DN started making a very narrow blank stripe (i.e. no toner) down the pages when it prints. Really narrow - about half the width of the letter I. I think it is related to the...
