I'm new to Konica Minolta, but I sure hope this one is unusual.
We took in a trade that jammed every page just past the fuser. The exit assembly at the top of the door wasn't driving. In my investigation I noticed that one of the drive shafts just above the fuser was crawling out by itself.
After working on a desktop Magicolor I was concerned that that drive assembly would be buried. To my surprise the PWB cage swung away nicely to give me easy access to the drive assemblies. Within the fuser drive assembly there was an E-clip missing on a shaft driven by helical gears, so by the normal rotation the shaft pushed out the front.
At the beginning I actually thought I could slip in a new E-clip without a total disassembly. I gave up on that idea after dropping the fourth clip. =^..^=
