PB1050 Ricoh mpc305 - jams, firmware

[Mark Bbb]

Hello,
Jams are an issue with this optional paper tray.

https://www.copytechnet.com/forums/ricoh-savin-gestetner-lanier/97440-mpc305-jamming-option-tray.html

Firmware can solve this (i hope), but on my-ricoh the mpc305 firmware is not available.
Someone can provide me with this, please?

Not shure if FW is gonna help - most issues are related to improper paper handling, worn out paper stoppers/guides (look for edges on the side fence) and/or faulty sep pads (also look for edges).

Thanks Gift!!!
With the new firmware it works better, but will still be jamming.
I have sticked an enveloppe (11 cm or 4,3" - 20 cm or 7,7" ) to the bottom plate underneath the paper feed roller.
The top flap of this envelope is underneath the paper feed roller (gives more pressure to the paper)
And it works perfect!!!
I wish i could upload pictures here, but i can't, that is something Copytech needs to adjust, if you ask me.

Phil, yes i did follow those instructions. I have saved the link Gift have posted here. I will use this in the future.
I understand that Copyt. needs to reduce it's diskspace.
Time is money, but so is diskspace

MPC305 jamming from option tray

Wouldn't it be helpful and interesting to find out what the solution to the problem was in his case.....but as usual, Georgey couldn't be bothered to return with an update. He just gets what he needs, and runs every time

Mark, the only 3 RTB's i have, are:
RD573001 HEATER DEHUMIDIFIER
RD573002a firmware announce sc502
RD573003a firmware announce sc502
Is there another than these mentioned?
I will post the picture of the self-modificated tray later (usb tool has broken).
