Re: Ricoh MP 6001 ADF misfeeds

Found the bulletin.

6001 DF reg roller jam.pdf

I remember folks swapping the DF drive motors as well - they're the 2 near the middle of the DF. I think they have different part #s, but they are interchangeable size wise.

Doesn't really sound like the problem you're having, if I'm understanding it right. The one-way that the DF feed assy slides into can crack & cause jams. Also the large 'Pull Out" roller just after the feed assy. can separate from the shaft. I've had that happen a lot - D4122111.

If it only jams when copying and not at all when using scan or doc.server function, than I would think it is a software problem.
Did this machine worked fine in the past?
If yes, from which point (or from what time on) this problem have occurred?
Perhaps after a pm or at a power loss?
If there is any kind of bulletin from Ricoh concerning this matter, I think Ricoh needs to take his responsibility and MUST give you the right info!
Because I think this problem is not easily solved!

The one way clutches (bearings) are a known issue on this machine. Make sure they are clean and lubricated.

Thanks, to everyone for your replies. I worked on this machine yesterday. I dissembled the ADF original transfer assy, cleaned/lubicated the one-way bearing located in the assembly, and then put it back together. The office manger told me yesterday that the ADF would always jam while scanning 8.5x14 and 11x17. I tested it, and it seems to be working okay for now. No problem scanning any size original. Thanks to all of you for helping me sort out this issue.
