I finally found the problem and it was an easy fix after all. There is s sensor on the side frame for the transfer separation unit. There is a small black plastic cover covering the wires. Its the photo sensor that lets the machine know the separation unit has moved from home position and that also resets the C code jam. Even Ricoh tech support did not know about that sensor. They made a note of it in case someone else has this problem. Thanks again for every ones input on this matter.

Area C could be a large number of possible jams and causes. The letter codes are strictly to tell the user where to look for the jammed paper. Now what is the actual Jam Code? It will be a J followed by a 3 digit number. So what was the J code displayed when the jam first happened? Once you open a door or cycle power the code will change to J001 if the jam has not been cleared and you will have to go to the jam history to see what the original code was. The number tells us exactly which sensor and whether it was a lead edge or trail edge jam.

Infact, "area c" its by user
