mpc4500 adding tonr

[techsass]

I've just changed teams and am new to this series.

Could you please explain what you mean by "set up the regisration rom sp"?

Thanks,

[spaceman99]

typo
reg needs setting up in sp mode. sp2111 - 1 , 2 , 3 forced line postion

sometimes it does not always work from 1 so ned to start at 3 then 2 then 1

after that then do it from maintaince on cust serv screen

good luck

Very often there is no need to re-enter the non-default manually if you use the NV Ram backup/restore feature via SD card. I know that it should theoretically backup and the restore the error as well but this worked in most cases for me. In case it doesn't do the trick you can still reset the NV ram again and enter the values manually from the SMC lists / non-default page.

Re: mpc4500 adding tonr

I am new to this forum and have a Ricoh MPC4500. I am wondering if the first check would be to remove and clean the toner pump (in this case the black one) when after inserting a new toner cartridge and after a number of attempts at adding loading fails. having opened and closed the front door a number times (in this case 10 times)
Thanks
Bill

It can't hurt, but in all likelihood, the pump is toast. Replace it

I Would pull the hose from the rear and blow it out and check toner bottle is NOT full
of "rocky toner"..
I had some toners come to me that when shook sounded like a rattle..
If you find a lot of chucks of toner i would check the bottle or thw filters for all fans..
Some guys never clean the filters.

thank you sandmanmac,
i ordered a new toner pump, took about 20 minutes to change and then generally cleaned up the inside of toner powder. It loaded toner and is working just like it is supposed to.

Thank you again.

Re: mpc4500 adding tonr

When you first 'replaced' toner pump, was it a new or a used pump ? You didn't say. Second hand pumps some work and some don't.

This is the first time that I have had to replace a toner pump on this machine. I didn't even look for a used pump as there is never any idea how long it may have been in service. I don't want to have to open the machine for repairs anymore than I have to so I only use new parts and OEM toner. That doesn't mean I won't rebuild a defective unit but where it is not rebuildable I just go new.

One last question, did you also replace the tube to the pump? If not expect future problems.

Yes the tube was part of the replacement pump.

Ricoh does that now. That was not always the case.
