    Ricoh Aficio 2035

    This Ricoh Aficio 2035 I've been working on has had a lot of SC-350 error codes. When I clean the copier and perform SP-3001 though, the copier starts working. Am I looking at an ID sensor that is going bad? Or could toner dust from either the PCU or Developing Unit covers be causing this issue? Thank you for any help given.

    How have you been cleaning the ID sensor? If it is not cleaned properly, it will cause errors.

      Exactly. Also, when was the last time a PM was performed. 350 codes can be caused by worn out drum and developer. When my group sees those, we just do a std maint of new drum and dv, etc.

        Also replace ruleman at drum unit.It also causes sc350

          That is possible
          I had a similar problem few years ago and was due to a defective I/O board

            Um, could you define what the ruleman is?
            It's probably a regional thing, like the osteopathic rhombus is here in my personal part of the periphery. Still, if you could let us know that would help all of us communicate more effectively.

              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.

                I believe he is refering to the drum ground beaing on the drum shaft. A known issue also on these dirty pigs !!!!!!!!!!!!!

                  Agree with the previous advice.....Assuming the drum surface looks ok and not coated with toner and copies look decent.......replace the drum and developer (or at least the developer) and you'll probably be done with the issue. Very common issue on the B079 series.
                  Proper way to diagnose this issue would be to check vsg/vsp/ and all the other various values in service mode
                  check drum ground continuity from bearing to drum shaft
                  verify it's not an issue with toner supply or toner hopper starving the dv unit for toner


                  That being said....just replace the developer.....bet that's the issue
