this is analog so there is no reports. if the paper is getting just to the reg roller area and stoping the problem may be the shocks. These old clam shell machines were bad about the shocks leaking and not holding the machine up. if you can hold the upper part of the eject side up some and the machine stop jamming then the shocks are your problem.

The paper stops every time after it moves 2 inches into the machine. The shocks must be working because the machine will hold itself open without any problem (however, I have no idea where they are actually located, to check for leakage) It goes through the motions of making a copy and the moment it finishes "scanning" the document it shuts down with the "misfeed" light on....Comment

If i remember well there are no shocks in this just a metall arm winding around it self.at right side of the copier. Try to clean the Pick up Rollers very well. Pull out the paper casette and the springs under the paperplate
Stering the springs a little and reassembly everything normaly that works otherwise change the Pickup Rollers or make a nother Tyrer arround.
Its long time agoo i have seen this Copiemaschine i Have make a corse of this Type in 86 in Germany
Good Luck

I would send a salesman in on this one. Most (if not all) of the parts for this machine are discontinued. You would have to go through other dealers to see if they had any old parts laying around. Unfortunately there are several high-mortality parts on this model. Not a bad machine in it's day, though.But I'm trying, Ringo. I'm trying real hard... to be the Shepherd.

Jules is right about this old machine. I can keep my DC1255 running because we have an in-house, factory trained Mita technician living here. Most people can't say that.
It's been a really long time since I worked on the DC1205. I seem to recall problems with mis-adjusted tray guides, dried out feed rollers, weak cassette lift springs, tweaked or mangled cassette tabs, dried out registration rollers, mis-positioned separation/transfer mylars, bent leaf spring supporting the rear of the s/t unit, drum drive gear (with "D" shaped bore) spun on the rear end of the drum shaft, broken fuser ring gear, worn to points two-stage gear driving the fuser.
That should give you a few things to look at. =^..^=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.

IIRC, you should not put the paper in the bypass until all rollers etc. have stopped running, the new FS-C1020 has this problem too, you have to wait until all processing has stopped.
Even the manual on the c1020 states this.I know what I know better than anyone else knows what I know.Comment

try checking the transfer charging block, it may have some leaks on it, if not try to clean the registration clutchComment
