Ricoh 1060 paper feed jam!!

[leo34staffs]

Yes there are the one way gears at the back of each feed station, these gears also drive the vertical transport as well as the feed, when it happened on me it took out the motor and the gears on tray 1.

Remember to replace the offending dev unit as a whole section rather than bushes, as im sure not all bushings are available.

Good luck.

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.

thats what I was thinking too

Our firm tends to replace the Dev unit at about 2000k precisely because of this problem.

They aren't cheap I'll grant ya, but it doesn't half save some headaches.

I will echo Ollie's thoughts. We just finished battling a 1060 that was giving "12" jams. The first feed station was replaced and it the jams went away for a few days. The following tech noticed the leaking DV unit and it was replaced but the misfeeds had returned.

It turned out that the new feed station had already been contaminated with enough developer to cuase the return of the problem. Cleaning all the gears (replacing those with one-ways), bushings and shafts solved the problem.

We too, normally replace DV units at 2M but some how this one was missed as this unit has 2.6M.

Stephen,it ok
either you change all of the feed station assy and the dev unit or cleans all of the gears at the back of it. as you said you heard a loud sound then change the motor inside the feed station which the problem appear.however this motor are serviceable if it jam.You can sand paper the rotor inside the motor.

it really works.I have many experiance this problem.the most importent is You must change the dv unit or the bushing, padler shaft and the mixer shaft.

good luck.

Hey guys, I just wanted to add my two cents worth of experience to this thread, for what it's worth.

We had one, several months ago, with all the same problems listed above. But we noticed, after resolving the dev dumping and changing all the feed heads with units out of a known good machine(never dumped dev), that if we turned the paper so that it fed short edge feed... it fed fine. We feed four reams of paper out of tray two, then two reams out of tray three. Placed a ream back in tray two, but this time long edge feed, and it jammed on the 10th page at the middle sensor. Turned the paper back SEF and it ran the rest of the ream out. We did everything and tech support didn't suggest any other ideas, so we bought an used external LCT for the customer.

Yesterday, we got a call from one of our techs in another location and another machine was doing the same thing.

hi
final solution!! i change the I/O board but nothing more, then the three paper feed units and no more problem!!! 500 copies per units and no jam, finally that's what we have to do but very expensive solution...

[nilsonmorales]

is the paper size position corret ?

i dont know this model but maybe i have the service manual or some friend send me ok then i will sent to you

There are two one-way gears on each feed station, if you had a dev leak, it is likely that this is the problem. There was a bulletin on this. It related to excessive grease at the factory but it pointed out the o/ws as a jam potential.
Pull each station and clean the gears and shafts. ( I would just replace the one-way as long as I had them out)
