o printRicoh MP161 jamming when making double sided copies

[ricoco]

I see this model very often and I find this blue clutch defective. In most cases resolve by cleaning the metallic shaft but I advise you to change ... Should not be expensive

I would go for the one-way blue gear as well, BUT there could be a tiny piece of paper sticking in the duplex . I usually take a piece of cardboardpaper and stick it in the duplex and manually turn the blue gear by hand which often pushes the paperpiece out.
Good luck!

i had that blue gear go as well

check to see if the blue gear on the door has worn out causing it too slip. can cause duplex jamming

Check if the juntion gate is working properly. I also had a faulty one way pulley in the right door once - I think it's included in that blue colored gear you can see somewhere near the transfer roller.

Hello, i have a Ricoh MP161, when making back to back copies the machine jams when it's taking the paper back in to print the other side. Any help is much appreciated.
