Problem with Ricoh Aficio 2105

[Codex]

Hello

I have a big problem with a Aficio 2105, the maschine worked well in the last three years, but last week when i try to print something using the LCT Tray the error SC 990 occurs, or the maschines slow down from 105 copies to approxx 60 copies per minute,it seems the the maschine is waiting for something, the other trays work well. Sorry for my English, i'm italian and wrinting from Sicily.

Thank you

Hello

The Firmware Upgrade was made last year, and untill last week the machine worked well.
It's strange because from the 1st tray the maschine slows down and then give SC 990 after a while, normally when i use the Front/Rear function.

When did you carry out the last PM and replaced parts as the Service Manual PM Advises ?
What is the current Meter reading and the reading when last service carried out ?

I changed last week developer, Drum, Blade and some feed roller.
The problem occurs only when i Print, not on Copy.I checked the Network connection and all the Network cables and everything is ok, there is also a Lanier 060, and a 1224c connected that works great without problems, so i can exclude problems with the computer or the Lan.The only problem is on the 2105, the machine have now 6 milion copies.

Hello

Yes i checked the Feed timing, but it seems that everything is ok, the machine slows down from 105 cpm to approxx 60 cpm, this is not normal.I try to change the controller taken from another 2105, but i have the same problem..

Check ID Sensor is not dirty !
I have experienced this fault on other Ricoh's which had this fault believe it or not !

OK....Problem is solved

It was a small gear in the 1st tray, unbelievably but true.
Thank you to all for your help.

Glad you got it sorted out, I was going to suggest disconnecting the HD
