Thought I'd share this.
I had a DP-770 that wasn't feeding. The pickup roller wouldn't pull the paper far enough in for the primary feed roller to feed the paper thru. The pickup roller has a one-way bearing so I thought it would be a simple fix by replacing the pickup roller. After replacing there was no change.
So, I enter sim. 203 and run the doc. feeder without paper. I notice that the pickup roller would turn sometimes but other times wouldn't move at all. The feed motor worked fine. I had never taken the gear pack off one of these but I figured there must be a gear with a one-way bearing in the gear pack that was slipping. Sure enough i take the gear pack off and replaced gear with one-way bearing and that fixed the problem. Anyone ever run into this?
