Re: Ricoh Aficio 1515 Paper Jams at exit!

If u have ricoh branded toner inside then it's developer causing line on the back...on those machines it means you shuld change whole PCU.There are some tricks to lower it with bias voltages tuning but for me it rarely worked on the spot.
New PCU is kinda expencive fix for line on the back,if prints don't have gray background on face then leave it be,explain the customer what needs to be changed to solve it and he'll prolly back down...in my experience noone cares about that line on the back...even if doing duplex prints they can do one blank paper before actual prints.
They will prolongue PCU life somewhat.

The toner bottle i see in the hopper is labelled Ricoh Type:1270D, I suppose this must be the original toner, OEM?

Not necessarily. If it does not say on the bottle "Genuine Ricoh" it is not original Ricoh toner. It is after market toner labelled to indicate what OEM toner it can be used for.

Take note of the right door contact switch.
When the paper enters the fuser and starts exiting it gives the machine an instant open door alarm and straight afterwards gives a paper jam warning.
Just bend the door switch plate a little outwards just for insurance. I have had this problema several times.

This is a very useful information! It will help me solve a problem on Aficio 1113; a customer actually called yesterday complaining that ,when making multiple copies, the machine keeps on displaying 'paper jam', and every time it does so they have to open the right door and close it for the problem to go away. You have given me very important lead, may be I will start with looking at the door switch. Meanwhile more suggestions are welcome.

As for the Aficio 1515, I solved the paper jam at the fixing unit by thoroughly cleaning the fixing unit, especially the exit rollers with WD 40, as for the black line at the back on first page i told the customer to change toner. They buy their own toner.

I had jam call today on MP161,problem with right doors knob,I just bent Right Door Safety switch outwards and problem solved.
When papers are printed right doors vibrate and faulty knob has hard time keeping it in place so they detach from switch stoping machine.
Eather fix the knob or bend the switch.

Thanks folks for the quick replies and inputs. I'm currently working on the machine and there's some progress, a lot, I must say. I removed the fuser unit and thoroughly cleaned and blew off all the dust, on sensors; scrapped the coated toner on the paper input guide plate, noticed one of the exit rollers (middle one) was moving with difficulty, tightened the two screws on the exit assembly, and now copies are spitting out very very well. I have made over 100 copies so far without jam problem.

However, i have noticed one more problem: If I am making one copy (single page) the back of the copy is soiled with toner, a very dark band about half an inch (1/2cm) in width, at the leading edge, running across the paper, in the vertical scan direction, only at top leading edge, back of the paper. But as you make multiple copies it disappears. In fact it appears on the first copy, but the subsequent copies are very clear with no dirt at the back of the paper. This one has left me confused. Say something about it, share your experience with us. Thanks in advance.

The only way to get rid of that completely is a developer change. Seen it many times.
