I have a new (last year) 55cpm Toshiba with an external paper source for high volume. It ran over 300K carefree copies over the last 8 months. Then the thing did not obey the overrun lift switch, broke both lift pulleys and the big brown lift gear. Had to disassemble to drop the paper and get the drawer open.
1) Broken parts replaced. Tested.
2) Did same thing a week later. Broken parts replaced along with both P.I. switches for lift stop and overrun. Tested.
3) Same thing 3 days later. I found the actuator for paper lift stop on the shaft 180 deg backward???? Corrected, repl lift pulleys, Tested.
4) Same thing. Paper is lifted past the overrun switch. WHAT'S GOING ON?
Now I have new lift cables, 2 more pulleys, a lift gear and the LCT PCB control board for tomorrows visit. This is nearly looking like a logic problem. I have heard that these LCT's are unreliable and break all the time. Gosh, there are only a couple dozen parts, and it is easy to see how the thing works.
My credibility is out the window here, and this customer (and me) are justifiably MAD!
Someone PLEEEASE help! I cannot be beaten by a box of parts!
Thanks in advance!
