Ricoh Aficio 1232c - Paper Jam B and Z (Only when Duplexing)

[nan]

Single sided A4 Sheets works fine from all the trays.

Only when Duplexing get paper jam at Point B.

When the paper exits the bottom of the duplex machine, going towards the registration and the idle roller, past the registration sensors.

I have cleaned the registration sensor, the SP5 -803-9 shows up as detected (7) (00000001) (0).

I have replaced the following parts:

1 x AX20-0240 (reg clutch)
2 x AX20-0239 (relay clutch)
2 x AX20-0224 (feed clutch)

Any ideas what else I need to check?

check the duplex unit connector that connects to the machine, sometimes one of the pins bend. also, check the duplex exit sensor and the paper path from the duplex exit to the registration. I think your problem is in the duplex unit. Do you have another duplex unit to put on the machine?

I do agree with Koosie but another suggestion is to remove the duplex cover and clean that top photo reflective sensor,also remove the the black top paper guide plate and check the sensors actuator at the bottom.Do try and swap that duplex unit with another machine could well possibly be the connectors on the machine or the duplex unit board that has been bent or broken pins inside the connectors.

You have seemed to have covered quite a lot by the look of your posts, I don't know if you have checked your logging data on your smc data sheet, that can through up quite a lot of answers. But by the sound of things I would possible be looking at the I/O board on this machine. Part Number B051-5107

This is drastic but if you do need to replace the I/O board please check for pinched wires and motor lock up errors as these boards do not just blow.

[techspec]

I wouldn't say this was drastic, I have had quite a few niggles with this machine and they have all been related to the I/O Board. This board isn't expensive.

If it works it works cool dude.

Fuser unit is making squeaking noise?

Got a message "fusing unit is almost empty of oil".
Checked oil at the rear unit, it is full. Did a SP7 914(oil counter reset) and SP 1930 to add oil to sump.

The message has disappeared, however still am getting the squeaking noise from the fuser unit.

is this normal? Any ideas?

Changed I/O Board. No Good. Same issue!

I also changed the Duplex Unit over to another functional Ricoh Aficio 1232c printer and it works fine! Nothing wrong with the ADU. Did 20 copies both sided, no jams!

There must be some configuration in the main unit, that needs to be changed? I also augmented the paper buckle from the ADU, not helping! Any Ideas what else I can look at?

Do anybody know what the part number is for the duplex driver board. I believe I need to change this!

PCB DCB2 G303 5120, x/o MB3 G3035115, there are to codes for the same part number, don´t know what it means, maybe some one can help

I do not understand why you would have change this board if your duplex unit works fine on another machine.Would suggest take the duplex cover off and monitor paper movement through the paper path and compare it to what a functional machine is doing.You might pick up something funny from that observation.As for the fusing unit if you have not replaced the fusing PM kit might want to do so,as they supply the complete fusing belt assembly which houses your bearings usually konks at 300K prints.And also check that oil pump is able to pump the to the applicator and that there are no blockages in the tubes as your fusing belts are quite expensive messy job but good luck.
