An entire pm takesess than 10 mins
The paper feed trays simply slide out the front once the paper cassettes are removed.
The DF feed, Sep, pick up rollers follow Ricohs simple & reliable design & are equally easy to replace.
Fused, drum, dv are all non serviceable but swap and initialize in less than 3 minutes.
The bad: internal finishers are junk, fax comm & firmware glitches are everpresent. But the fix is firmware and takes less than 10 minutes...
All in all it is good mfp with a robust engine and well thought out service map, extremely serviceable, and enduser intuitive logic.
