c5255 Spare Parts and Maintenance - What are you keeping?

[techandtrader]

I am very much experience with the previous gen ITB fixs and Maint. What should be kept on hand for these 5200 series? It seems the ITB assembly has been updated a couple times to -020. Is there a Tech pub about diff lots and problems like the C5030?
thanks

There are/where some issues with E075 errors (ITB out-of-center). Be sure to keep the copier level. Also there where som modifications for it, look for bulletin tp15-279a.pdf and/or TP15-304.pdf

We dodn't hav to much 52xx in the field so apart from drums and rollers we don't keep stuff on-stock.

Had some incidents on scanner, torn ITB and a broken ITB Lever (don't ask ) and a broken patchreader shutter assy.. Apart from that just the normal wear on drums and rollers...

Significant improvement on he ITB, and note they are different, as is the upper delivery assembly. Be careful before you swap things out from the first gen. Service call workload began to drop when we began to get these ones out in the field to replace the first gen.

good to here. I see the fuser rollers and the ITB belts are the same so at least for emergency purposes those C50xx parts can support. I expected the assemblys to be slightly different and after reading about the ricoh itb I am sure this ITB is the best in the industry. I have read that the toner and overall quality has taken a dive for the worst on the gen 3 machines.
