Re: Ricoh MP201 spf
Sometimes a popping noise occurring from the right side of the machine is caused by the fuser. This occurs when the fuser is past it's PM cycle, or the bearings need lubrication with a high temp grease.NEVER ASSUME ANYTHING -

Re: Ricoh MP201 spf
It's almost always the transfer roller frame is cracked around the front bushing of the transfer roller, the pressure when it's against the drum causes it to jump. Don't bother trying to glue/repair it, just replace it.Comment

Re: Ricoh MP201 spf
Another vote for the transfer roller / bushings being the cause.

Re: Ricoh MP201 spf
Same here. I have had the bushings get cruddy and cause the roller to bind or turn slowly. When it binds, the gear on the end starts jumping teeth where it contacts the gear on the drum. Rather loud noise. Clean all the toner out of the bushings and clean the shaft. When it comes back, replace the roller assembly.Comment

Re: Ricoh MP201 spf
YOu can ask the customer if the noise stops during pushing the right door a bit during printing. If yes it's definetely the transfer roller bushing. MP301 transfer roller does also fit - bushing matarial seems modified (some white plastic).Comment

Hi there!
Agree with all posters. By the way, only the MP 301-roller is availible, fits like the old one.
