Ricoh Afficio 1232c Calibration problem

[FRIDGEMAGNET]

I agree with Copierdocisleofman - check the PCU belt mark and also clean the sensor. This may well mean a new PCU.
I think it highly unlikely that the sensor is faulty as you would probably be getting an SC code.

Don't waste your time posting anything, it will be either the belt mark sensor that is dirty or the belt mark that is damaged.
the pcu is the part that is held in by three big screws by the way.
The machine either needs a new pcu or the sensor cleaning.

Anything done here to try to resolve a problem is never a waste of time when it comes to helping some who post here, please leave disrespect and arrogance somewhere else.

sorry nightfall, no arrogance here fella, just making a point the the first thing to try and clean the sensor before changing it.
All well and good if that doesn't work then by all means I would change the sensor.
Sorry if I offended anybody just trying to help save a bit of time and money after all isn't that what this is all about.

Seems like a perfectly reasonble output from one of these useless machines Seriously it looks like the dev units are shot maybe wrong though..Si

I'd go with the PCU too - try bunging another one in to check. Better still, get somebody else to do it and go on holiday until it's fixed, these machines are nowt but bother.

Hi,
What does the transfer belt look like? Also, what does the sensor look like? I took the PCU out but am not sure what is what.

Thanks

How about the Developer clutches

[kquintana]

Did you check the developer Clutches. Turn them on and off in output mode. had that same problem six months ago and it turned out to be the dev clutches

Richo

What are developer clutched and what do the look like and and where are they located?

Thanks

Wrong copier sorry. This copier your working on has the transfer belt and pc belt all in one right. older color copier. what we now refer to as a pos.

Yes. Any suggestions

[kquintana]

Have you changed the trans/opc unit? Does the copier have the clip on the white cam?

[kquintana]

Did you check the toner/dev on the left of the copier the clutches the drive them to the pcu.

So a lot of people have gone down the PCU route so far. Have you tried another PCU in it? That would eliminate and awful lot of the machine if you did.

You sound like an end user. You would be best served by hiring an experienced technician. That model gives even the most grizzled veteran fits.
