Have you changed the CIS?

Sorry , what is the CIS

Re: MPC5502A second side all Black

Where is the CIS?

Re: MPC5502A second side all Black

The CIS, Contact Image Scanner, is in the SPDF, Single Pass Document Fedder. It is what scans the back side of the original.

Ive changed the doc feeder and put it on another machine and it worked fine,
also replaced the image processing board, still have the same issue
possible firm ware issue?

I doubt it but it doesn't hurt to reflash everything.

Hi,
I have this problem with MPC 4502.
In to the machine you have paper with default settings for device.
Check all settings, but for ADF (if I remember) SP mode 6xxx-xxx .
I solved this problem on this way.

We bought a used ricoh mpc5502 and upon arrival we had the same exact problem. We called Ricoh tech support and they said someone did a memory clear and forgot to input the 2nd CCD adf scan settings. Right off the top of my head I cant remember the 4 settings but it had to do with the 4 colors. Might want to contact Ricoh and ask them what they are and I hope you have the birth certificate.

In the machine you have the paper with the non-default settings for that MFD.

The real question is does he require the relevant information from the original machine where the SPDF was taken from.

I cannot recall if those values are common or unique to each CIS ass'y.

Re: MPC5502A second side all Black

Since he tried the DF on another machine, and it worked, they are not THAT unique :-D

Re: MPC5502A second side all Black

Did you rule out the machine causing the issue? if you duplex something on the glass, does it still do it?

Re: MPC5502A second side all Black

OK well there is nothing in sp 6 that i can find that relates to CCD or anything about the second side on the a series
Ive even looked in sp143 mode,
what else can i look into? still black on the second side of the duplex-ed doc

Re: MPC5502A second side all Black

I don't know if Ricoh machines still have birth certificates (a sheet that lists all the values of adjustments available in SP mode and the ones that were changed from factory default) anymore, but if so you might want to check that to see if it can help.
Although I suppose you've already done that, so I'm sorry for wasting your time.
On a lighter note, you might want to check where the doc feeder plugs into the base machine and how that connects to the IOB board. Just a guess.
Heh, back in the day when I got to set up Ricoh machines, I'd toss the birth certificate and replace it with the print out from SP 5-990-006, which at least back in the day was a listing of only non-default SP adjustment values. It was a lot easier on the eyes.

Hello,

Print SMC DATA SP 5990-6, check SP 4-712, 4-713, 4-714, if the result is 0 input the default value of the SMC sheet
