athena jam codes at power on

[aabarnes1]

has anybody else been getting this- intermittent fuser/bridge unit jams with no real reason but the smc logs all the jams at power on. Ricoh reccomend changing the push switch in the bridge unit. I had an mpc 3000 today with 285 jams logged at power on!

Replace the bridge unit switches, or add some length to the switch actuators.

Ive seen this problem many times on RMP40s i was told it was a defect in the push switches in the bridge units. I replaced both of them on all units having this problem and haven't had any of these machines come back. Good luck

I agree with Ricoh replace Bridge unit push switches. I've had a few of these in the past and replacing them cures the fault.

Replaced push swithes, no jams today. However smc reports alot of 991's. looked it up in the manual just as i thought fwu- I did that when I replaced the switch. still logging sc991

That's just an Athena being an Athena, they all do it. At least the customer doesn't see it, it's just logged.

If you want to get rid of you sc 991s go into user tools under general settings then admin and look for "aof" turn it to off

Thanks for the info, I'll turn it off.
