    konica minolta c3320i noise

    ok a new machine I set up 3 months ago now it has a pretty noticable noise from the exit section of the machine.. I used some lubrication on the bottom 2 white rollers and I thought it went away.. but it didnt. it seems the bushings to any of the exit rollers are really hidden in the front and the back of the machine.. any ideas? it is just annoying for the customer. thanks in advance

      I have same issue on 4050i. This one is also less than 3 months old. I haven't returned yet I'll report back. What did you use as lubricant?

          If you pull out that exit section you'll discover that there aren't really any separate bushings, just holes in a plastic frame with no factory lubrication. It's not so easy to remove ... but once you do, I used Mobilgrease28 (red grease) to lubricate each shaft and idler. It quieted right down.

          I was a bit disappointed how cheaply made it is. =^..^=
          If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
          1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
          2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
          3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
          4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
          5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

              Great info. but you usually have pictures.

                  8-27-2021, but sorry, no pix this time. I seem to recall that it's all black parts on an all black frame. The picture didn't come out very well. =^..^=
