Was it a new fusing assy or rebuilt?
If rebuilt check the discharge brush....if new try firmware

Check the pressure spring assembly on the side that is not fusing. Also check the pressure release arm on that side is not loose/broken/missing.

Re: Ricoh MP C2051 unfused copies

Stop copy midway through process and isolate if its from fuser.
Also check if it applies to both mono and color.

It's a pretty safe bet that anything stopped before the fuser will be unfused

Re: Ricoh MP C2051 unfused copies

how to upgrade the firmware?

The firmware upgrade is a rather involved process that would be best left to a trained tech. If done incorrectly it can cause your machine to become a rather unique door stop. It would be better to eliminate all possible physical defects before trying that.
For example, are you using Ricoh toner? After market toner sometimes will cause this, but not always.
Thick paper can cause the problem you have described too, if the machine is not properly set up for it.
(Also, incorrectly labeled paper will cause this as well, a fact that causes me a great deal of irritation.)

That was my first question: Are the correct media types being selected? =^..^=

Re: Ricoh MP C2051 unfused copies

Just going by his picture, it looks like the middle is what is having issues being fused, not the edges, so that sort of rules out the springs to a point. (Usually one side or the other is not fused when that is the case).

Could check fusing temps for the middle and maybe pop that up a few degrees to see what happens. I assume the machine is using the correct media setting (thick paper if thick paper is being used, etc).

You could also run the paper through short edge feed and see what it looks like. (The one shown I am pretty sure is long edge feed).
