Ricoh 1060 paper feed jam!!

OK boy, Stephane you will have pull up your sleaves and get down on your knees and start by changing the clutches no the backside of the machine,tré dificil,
im joking, i´ll start by cheking the clutches, clean clean clean...........

No clutches on the Martini, it's all motors.

But still the same advice, remove all three feed stations and check that the Dev leak hasn't caused the gears on the rear of the feed stations to wear. If you're lucky then it'll only be the top feed station that's at fault. Dev might have got into the motor in which case you'll have to replace it.

It's not that difficult, the feed stations come out quite easily if you take off the side panel of the machine, the waste toner bottle and the vertical feed "A" swing out door.

I'd recommend replacing the development unit too. Fixing it may seem cheaper but if you don't stop the developer leak then this problem's gonna come back and haunt ya!!

i would do if there were clutches...... but only step by step motor and gears at the paper feed unit level, clutches are in the 551 650 700 models i think
thx for your idea

Just to add to what I've just posted.........

Try swapping feed stations 1 and 3 (they're identical)

Then see if the machine will feed from trays 1 & 2.

If it only jams out of 3 after swapping them over then at least you've narrowed the problem down to a single feed station.

The reason for doing this is I suspect that feed station 1 is the one at fault, but as all paper fed from the lower trays must go via feed station 1 on the vertical transport it will cause jams from all trays.

Try that first and see what happens. If you only get jams from 3 after swapping them over then take out 1 and three and compare the "known good" station to the "known bad".

i still have changed the motor for trying in the first paper feed unit but nothing more and for the dev replacing by new bushing on the dev unit, i have noticed that without the torquelimiter there was less pressure on the transport roller, no sound, no jam but just for one copy, more copies no separation...
thx

OK Stephane, sorry same as MP 6500, check door switch under the three block on the botton of the machine maybe stuck

[ISISTEPHANE]

the three stations are the same, and the pb is on all of them, i swapped 1 with with the last survivor 3 to the death...very soon
thx

[ISISTEPHANE]

that's an idea i will try

And the LCT works well!!!

[Ollie1981]

Quite few techs from my company have had this problem, sometimes it only affects one feed station but sometimes all.

All respondees say the only solution is to replace all gears and bushings on the feed stations or the whole feed station. The dev acts as an abrasive and causes gears and bushings to wear abnormally.

There's no easy quick fix solution I'm afraid

[Ollie1981]

Yeah I know.

But all the feed stations are stacked on top of each other in the vertical transport. So if you feed from tray 3 it has to go via the drive on trays 2 and 1 and the relay to get to registration.

As feed station 1 is closest to the dev unit, I was hoping that it took the worst of the dev leak and the other 2 feed stations wouldn't be too bad. Swapping them round might have helped him fault find but it looks like the dev has killed all three feed stations.

[ISISTEPHANE]

i m thinking like you, replace all gears and bushing and at the edge the entire
units
thx both for helping me

did you mean tandom tray or external LCT, if tandom forget door switch
