Re: Ricoh MP201 not fusing and ghosting

Hi
just my thoughts

Ghosting is nearly always the fusing unit and on these machines down to pressure.

The pressure roller is not doing its job, check the plastics on either side of the pressure arms that move the roller, also the mech that moved the roller against the hot roller can stick.
Ive seen both issues.
Sure there are two positions for the pressure spring to locate to to add more pressure.

Good Luck

Thanks for the input guys, we aren't Ricoh dealers so getting parts and pricing can be tricky. Waiting for clients decision what will they want to do with this machine.

Finally they decided to upgrade machine to something newer we can support with parts.
Thanks for your insightful information guys.

Remembering the days when we used to measure the nip width - don't work on Ricoh much these days, is that still a thing?
