I would have to agree with this. Canons full color machines are among the most troublefree that have ever been put on the market. Even the ancient CLC1000 we had as the office color copier (made...

Gooses Guide is a massive collection of oddball problems and fixes that have been submitted from the field. I have a hard copy from about two years ago when I was still gainfully employed. :p

Messing around inside the drum/cleaning unit on these machines is a recipe for disaster. You will undoubtedly make things worse. This is a job for a trained technician. There is a very good Ricoh...

I talked to my former colleague who still works on these. He confirmed that this is the best workaround. Vista and Server 2003 are highly problematic.

Doc:rolleyes:

The real solution is to convince the customer to blow Vista off all their computers and re-install Win2K or Xp Pro. Since they will most likely not do that, you will have to find a workaround and I...

The mechanical components of this print engine are based on the ancient analog FT5590 family. These machines would go into development motor lock when the development units were badly worn and/or...

Virtually any hard drive of the correct form factor will work with Ricoh machines. I would look for an inexpensive Toshiba laptop drive as I have had better luck with them than any other laptop...

I would do a look around before calling a tech. I detested noise calls, especially noise calls on duplicators (they are so noisy, how can you tell it has an abnormal noise. Look for paper in fans,...

Both of these models really, honestly require properly done PMs at close to the factory suggested interval to run at their peak.

I worked for IKON, as pinch-penny an outfit as has ever existed,...

Exactly the order I would go about things. It also may be necessary to disassemble the components of the original path and clean the crud out of that area. Not a pleasant task, but straight forward...

Regardless of anything else said here, you most assuredly need a toner motor. You also, I am willing to bet, will need the board. Often, a visual check of the board will reveal the damaged...

SC302: Charge Corona Output Error
Definition: D
Charge corona feedback voltage of less than 1V was detected for more than
200 s.
Possible Cause
• Charge power pack is...

Most SC 990 indications on this model are caused by either a dirty image density sensor (right side, open duplex and vertical transport to see it) or a failed hard drive. I always would clean the...

Hard Drive, I would imagine.

Doc

I had a lot of these in schools. You have the issue caused by incorrectly closing both pieces of the lct at the same time. It bends all kinds of things. I put the revised guides on the rails,...

Lanier built nothing themselves. I am pretty sure that is an analog machine and is actually a Toshiba. Try posting there.

Quoted from the FSM.

SC982 - Localization error

The localization settings in the nonvolatile ROM and RAM are different
(SP5-807-1).

It could be almost anything. First troubleshooting step is to look at the service code history and see if there is anything there. Then remove and reseat all connectors on all the boards in the...

If this is like the older machines, there is a plastic gear in the drum drive that has a flat in the center to drive it. This strips out. The symptoms you describe are consistent with that.

Doc

First, remove the drum and clean the image density sensor that reflects from the drum surface. If that does not solve the issue, disconnect the hard drive and try turning the machine on again. Hard...

Kevin, as soon as you said 100# cover stock, the bells went off. I am an old Priport tech who just messed with Risos, but I can tell you that stock will take too long to dry. The best thing for...

If the laser unit was in the machine when you were blowing it out (never a good idea as it puts toner in sensors and creates additional unnecessary cleaning) you might have filth in the synch sensor...

If you go removing pads from solenoids on Ricoh stuff, be sure the plunger does not bottom out as this will cause sticking and the same problem you are trying to cure. Different techs have different...

Start by locating and cleaning all the sensors, patches and actuators. Be sure all works properly. The indications you have usually have something to do with a sensor issue. Beyond that, possibly...

The "in theory" is the operative phrase here. Of course, the ones I dealt with were all in schools, abused as much as possible, and ran old grocery bags for paper. We considered a developer change...
