MPC 2550 While feeding paper from tray 1 sound

If you take out the tension spring of the friction pad the noise is gone.
And do not worry that does not jam.

Please notify the Ricoh engineers about this. I'm sure they will do a facepalm when they realize they are wasting money overengineering these things.

That noise comes from the friction pad while feeding.It vibrates during pick up.Try to replace the friction pad and reduce the tension of the spring.

Dear All

One of my MPC 2550 while feeding paper from tray one is noisy and from tray two

its normal.I can't locate problem where from noise is. No P/J. Feeding is normal.

Only noise.

Thanks
