Hello, I think I just need confirmation on my direction. Will feed from drawers 2 and 3 but when I try to feed from tray 1 it will feed a single sheet fine then jam everything else after. Sometimes when i start a new job and it will jam the first page and so on. Usually it will feed a few inches out or get to the registration roller then jam. I replaced the feed assembly with the same result. My next step is to replace the drive assembly. I'm assuming the one way clutch or a belt is slipping. Anything additional would be appreciated. Thank

So you also replaced the magnetic clutch that drives the rubber rollers -
Re: c458 Jamming from tray 1 only
if you take out the paper feed unit, in the plastic of tray 2, there is a "spare" spring, it's not listed in the parts manual, but this is for thin paper, in the past, this has been swapped with the spring A161562800 on either tray 1 or 2, to prevent jam codes 10-02 and 20-02, the part number for the replacement "thin paper" spring is A161563000, it's not in any of the 8 series parts manuals, though it's definitely in the C258 paper feed unit, as I've just checked. if you have a C224(e) parts manual, you'll find it there, so you can see where it's located. if you have replaced the rollers and cleaned the needle bearings and it's still misfeeding - then I'd change this springTip for the day; Treat every problem as your dog would.....If you cant eat it or f*ck it....then p*ss on it & walk away...Comment

Re: c458 Jamming from tray 1 only
Not shure if the drive is designed like the iSeries machines wich had some issues with a so called "fast clutch" leading to jamming issues with tray 1.Comment

Re: c458 Jamming from tray 1 only
Basically the main drive drives tray1 and there are no clutches. I had a feeder assembly and swapped that out with same results. I guess the main drive is direct drive to tray.Comment

Re: c458 Jamming from tray 1 only
Do you have a jam code? =^..^=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.

Re: c458 Jamming from tray 1 only
I've had the bushings for the registration get gummed up and only cause jamming from tray one. I would take out registration assembly and clean the bushings.Comment

Re: c458 Jamming from tray 1 only
I'm going to take a drive assembly out with me but if that doesn't work I'll check that out. The only thing that makes me hesitant is that it sometimes gets to the registration roller and sometimes it doesn't. It usually jams after feeding an inch or it doesn't get much past the feed rollers. That's definitely something to remembe. ThanksComment

Re: c458 Jamming from tray 1 only
I took it back to the store and disassembled, scored the shaft, Cleaned and lubed the shaft and bearing, reassembled and installed in the machine I pulled the part from. I ran several hundred copies without a flaw. The bearing and shaft were all gummed up that was the issue. Yeah I wish I thought about getting that jam code that could have been helpful to the next guy! SorryLast edited by acsolutions; 09-09-2023, 05:23 AM.Comment

Re: c458 Jamming from tray 1 only
I have a C458 and was giving a 20-02 error on tray 2 - I replaced the pickup/feed rollers, no go, clutches and torque limiter, no go, replaced mag clutch, no go, replaced the spring as described above and DING, we have a winner!
THANKS!Comment
