I have a couple of C3003 feeders I was having issues with (double feeding). I have always believed that the separation roller wants to spin backwards unless there is friction from the feed roller or just one sheet of paper going through, but on the two I have, when I spin the gear that sep roller is on it doesn't move the sep roller. Am I losing my mind. (it is possible)

Re: Is the separation roller in feeders supposed to spin backwards?
If your having Double sheet feeding replace all the feed tires? Usually you can't test, only cleaning, if cleaning has not fixed replace them. Also one way bearing or torque converter

Re: Is the separation roller in feeders supposed to spin backwards?
Yup, I changed everything. One is double feeding, the other had the problem with the optical sensor, but neither of them appear to drive the separation roller.
The one with the sensor problem doesn't double feed though. It "appears" to work normally.Comment

Re: Is the separation roller in feeders supposed to spin backwards?
With the 3 tire system, the separation should follow the feed without paper or with 1 sheet. With 2 or more sheets it will stand still or reverse.
I don't know about this DF, but most of the newer ones have a slotted adjustment for the separation pressure. Tightening the spring makes the separation follow more, loosening the spring makes it follow less. =^..^=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.

Sounds to me like you have a bad torque limiter.Comment

New firmware suppresses the reverse rotation when motor stops causing j63 jamming.Comment

Actually he is an American citizen from Florida. According to his profile he has been in this business almost as long as I have. His biggest problem is that he is a liberal. If you have a problem with him, either use Private Messaging or use one of the political posts he follows in Rants Raves and Everything Else.Comment

Re: Is the separation roller in feeders supposed to spin backwards?
You're right slim. I saw he was from Florida, but his bad grammar/spelling/calling parts by wrong names/etc. on almost every post made me think that his first language isn't English. Most "IT Techs/ Serv. Techs" that I've worked with or talked to (such as yourself slimslob), are usually very literate, and can convey a message clearly and correctly. Sorry to have gotten off track from the post.OmertÃComment
