mp4000-- sc324

[tullio]

nashuatec mp4000, error sc324, the car has 400,000 prints. thanks.

Hello!

We've had ongoing problems with the dev units seizing on these bags of poo, throwing up SC324 errors. This isn't so much of an issue whilst the machines are under warranty (other than the inconvenience to the customers of course) but, once they are 12 months old, we begrudge paying through the nose for new units when there is obviously an inherent flaw in the design of these things.

Does anybody have any idea why this fault occurs and whether there are any preventative measures which can be taken to stop this?

Ta very much!

There are no preventative measures for this fault, especially if you're running compatible toner and developer.

I have yet to encounter SC 324 on any MP4000 equipment. I have had one instance of SC 324 on an older 45 ppm. Toner had worked its way into the paddle roller front bushings binding the shaft. Cleaned the shaft and bushings. The machine had over 1 million copies on it. I only use the proper Ricoh toner and developer.
