Re: Ricoh CL7300 Polygon Motor Issue
Pull off the top "exit tray" cover and it's right underneath. It takes a bit of doing to get the whole laser unit out because the wiring harnesses and ribbon cables for the laser boards, but if I remember correctly the mirror motor isn't hard.
Don't quote me on that - it's been a loooooooong time since I've been inside one of those.

Re: Ricoh CL7300 Polygon Motor Issue
Here is the approximate location, and you are lucky that it isn't a copier version. That would a lot of headache to your disassembly.Attached FilesLeave a comment:

Thanks to everyone for your help! You all are telling me that it's not where I expect it to be, but I don't think anyone's actually told me where it is. P.S. Yes, I'm a girl that used to live in NJ.Leave a comment:

Re: Ricoh CL7300 Polygon Motor Issue
I've never had to replace a mirror motor in these, but they are getting to be about that age. I don't recall it being too difficult to get to the motor, it's just not where you expect the laser unit to be compared to all the new copy and print engines.Leave a comment:

Re: Ricoh CL7300 Polygon Motor Issue
It is very rare, that the Polygon Motor is defective. In most cases the driver Board is the issue (Position 2 on the Parts Lovation Drawing)
Its Number is: B180-5445 "Polygon Mirror Motor Board"Leave a comment:

Re: Ricoh CL7300 Polygon Motor Issue
If I remember correctly, you don't have to pull the LD unit to replace the mirror motor. I think just a metal plate on top, and maybe a fan duct to remove after the top cover is off.Leave a comment:

Re: Ricoh CL7300 Polygon Motor Issue
Even without knowledge of this model it's pretty easy to locate and access the laser unit on this one - we're not talking about the copier version of this engine.Leave a comment:

Re: Ricoh CL7300 Polygon Motor Issue
Obviously the polygon motor is inside the laser unit, but the laser unit is in a rather odd location compared to the newer units, and much more difficult to get out.Leave a comment:

Re: Ricoh CL7300 Polygon Motor Issue
note to myself: expect better support if you pick a username with "girl" in it (no matter if it's related to your gender or not)
Usually this request is dedicated to receive a "get bend" but yeah, the polygon motor is indeed located inside the laser unit... hard to figure out.Leave a comment:

Thanks Sakura! The detailed scan is excellant! But is there another photo that notes where I can gain access to this area? Probably won't attempt it myself if there's a possibility of "a big problem". But I would like to see the little bugger that's giving me a major headache. Thanks again!Leave a comment:

Re: Ricoh CL7300 Polygon Motor Issue
Hi guys!
I have a Ricoh Aficio CL7300 showing error code SC201. I have been told that this is a Polygon Motor issue and that I should first try disconnecting/reconnecting the cable before replacing the motor. Can someone please direct me to where the Polygon Motor and/or it's cables are located on this particular unit?
Thanks for your help!
See attached scan of a parts catalogue. Polygon mirror motor pointed out by the red arrow. Make sure you know what are you trying to perform - any failure will cause a big problem. Part # AX060286 just in case you need it. To take it out is better to have step-by-step instruction - please check your PM.
Good luck!
