    [Jamming] Ricoh Aficio MP 1600 paper jam message

    I just inherited an old machine from my local community theater.

    The message in the display says "Paper jam B, please follow the instructions in the lower right cover."

    Needless to say, I looked carefully in all the mentioned places and there is no jammed paper visible in any part of the copier that I could reach.

    I tried a "reset", by pressing the ./* and # keys for 10s. The copier restarted, but the message immediately re-appeared.

    Any idea what to try next?

      Check the sensor under the registration sensor, sometimes the feeler disappears... At first sight it's difficult to recognize... You can try also with an INPUT CHECK... The value should be "1"....start with the registry sensor....

          It's been awhile since I've seen one of those, so I'm going off memories from at least a decade ago.

          Remove the paper tray and check if the paper sensor flag is broken. The legs that hold it in place were very easy to break. I used to have to replace those all the time on that series.

              Turn the registration roller backwards, you may see a piece of paper appear.
              It's 106 miles to Chicago. We've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses.

              Hit it.

                  Amazin, thanks @Codex, you had the right idea.

                  I looked at the registration sensor, made sure nothing is broken and everything is moving and flexible.

                  Closed the machine and the error disappeared. Thank you!
