Depending on the setting of sim 26-35 it will only register one error instance.

26-35 is set for any.

Does anyone know where this ITB gear is? I have the service manual and the back open, but it is not like the AR/SF series machines that I'm used to. It's all electronics back here!

Alright, I checked the fuser gears and checked the operation of the fuser motor in a simulation. All checked out fine, so I guess this really is all because of a flat spot!!! Amazing

Only thing is that when the machine warms up or I activate the fuser motor, it will run and thump, but then it will stop and just hum. Just as if the motor driver is busted, but it is probably just because the flat spot is so bad. I released pressure from the roller and it spins without any trouble and quiet as a mouse.

The gear is mounted to the transfer belt. Take out the belt, not the back of the machine. Comb through your manual a little more thoroughly.

I'm usually very thorough! I'll give it another look over.

The most common thumping noises from this mfp in my experience have been 1.) flat spot in the fuser roller 2.) the secondary transfer belt stretching out causing the belt to skip ( thump) and cause the pod1n codes in the past. The best way to test this is to remove the secondary transfer unit and turn the gears by hand and see if the belt turns with it.

The thumping is from the fuser. I ran a sim to test the fuser motor and it thumped because of the flat spot. In the meantime I took the pressure off of the rollers until I get everything to refurb the entire machine. The transfer belt unit is being replaced because the belt has a dent.

You sure hit the nail on the head with this machine... Everyone did

pull the transfer unit there is a gear that drives the unit pull the gear and check the back side it is probly split be careful ther is a small pin that drives gear

Picked up a MX-2300N today and it keeps jamming. When I first started the machine it had an H5-01 error. I cleared that out and tried to run a copy through and it jammed up. I ran 22-03 and it shows up POD_1N, two times. I've read from another thread that it might be a white gear on the ITB? Does anyone else have any experience with this code? I noticed the print are ready for the fuser but z-fold before the fusing unit.

Any insight is appreciated, thank you.

I did that already and it was fine. The problem has been solved, the fuser roller is flat.
This machine is going to have the following done to bring it to ship shape for commercial use.
4 x Main Charge Kit (includes toner clean blades, MC unit, toner mixer sheet and plates)
4 x Drum
1 x Fuser Roller Kit (includes rollers, thermistors, picker fingers, bearings)
1 x Primary Transfer Unit

Machine should be all happy after this
