MPC 307 multiple prints come out different calibration

Re: MPC 307 multiple prints come out different calibration

Ok after spending about 2 hours taking pretty much the entire 'scrap' 307 apart just to get to its reg clutch I decided this is ridiculous, such poor design. I can't be assed to spend another 2 hours taking the real 307 apart, fitting the part then spending god knows how long putting it back together. We only bought this thing 2 weeks ago so I'll either send it back to the guys we got it from or just use this as a scrap machine instead. Seems like everyone in England has suddenly gone back to work the last few days as our calls have tripled this week, software and hardware alike so I don't have the luxury to sort this out like a real engineer.
Today I take the loss, a small sacrifice for the greater good. At least I know if I see this problem again, immediately request to upgrade it... or quit and move to mexico

I don’t remember it taking that long to replace this clutch.

Since you have it apart why not fit the new clutch as a training exorcise.

Don't go to Mexico, no one goes there anymore...too crowded.

That basically confirms that you have a registration clutch issue. as the timing between the pages (after page 1) and the drum is off, because the registration roller is not keeping the subsequent pages in place until the drum is at the right point for the image to start.

Replace your reg clutch and retest. I'm sure you will win this one!

+1 spot on

+1 should take about a hour only the transport motor and hvps but I have worked on a lot of them
