IRC 5185 Paper Jam

[Chaw]

Hello guys hope all is well question 5185 paper jam at PS26 but no paper found, replaced the sensor the flag is working. Took out the right side assembly where PS26 is located noticed that the connector was bent from the user slamming the assembly close. Got it to work for about a week but the jam came back so not sure what to do at this point, if someone can point me in the right direction thanks in advance.

jam

what is the jam code? ps 26 is the reg sensor, is that the sensor you tested? My guess is the paper is not leaving the cassette. If the count is high it is possible to have the sensor arm wear out at the cassette causing timing issues on ltr. maybe try switchng pick up assemblies, different size paper. More info would help, good luck!

paper Jam

Thanks for taking the time to look at my post, the jam code is 0A05 I went into the DC-Con P007 bit 2 and its at one. The bit is not changing state it stays at one I changed the sensor no luck same result.

If it isn't the sensor and there is no change of state I would suspect the wiring, but the easier choice is put in a new DC con. If that doesn't fix it take it back out and trace the wiring. I would carefully cut the wire ties between the sensor and the DC con, look for pinches and connector issues, such as loose connections, pins pushed out, paper caught in the drawer connector at the frame.

Thank you

Will give that a try and let you guys know the outcome.

A 0A prefix is a power on jam.... any 0105 or 0205 jams logged in jam log? What is paper source if any jams(1 cas 1, 9 duplex,etc)..need more info

DC-Con P007 bit 2 and its at one. The bit is not changing state it stays at one I changed the sensor no luck same result.

I have not checked this particular sensor in the I/O section, one thing I have found occasionally is that some of these port address are not correctly identified in wiring diagrams or the tables. It would be good if you can verify on a working machine of the same model that the port address you are checking changes state when activated. You may want to get out the trusty meter to check for state change at the sensor.

Troubleshooting

Morning I looked at the Copier and it look like the paper was being feed out of Cassette 1 I went ahead and ordered a new DC - CON PCB just waiting for the part to come in so I can do some more troubleshooting so will keep you guys posted thank you for all your help and efforts guys have a great day.

Jam

Morning guys I recieved the DC Con going to change it out, before I do that I noticed that the assemble that house the Registration Sensor is not closing the connector in the machine is loose and not connecting to the assembly.

Working

Morning thank you guys for all your help and suggestions, I was able to fix the issue with the paper jam replaced the Dc Con and inter the values and that was it the copier up and running. Thank you guys very much for all your help untill my next issue which I know I will have one no doubt.
