    ES207L Upper Roller

    Does the same upper roller fit in 206l, and 207l? Different part numbers but I think it's the same. Thanks in advance.

    The answer to your question is no. I double checked Web Ribon/ Where Used. The 206L series heat roll does not cross with the 207L series.

      They may have different part numbers yes, but when you set them side by side 257, 455, they are indistinguishable. I would have no qualms about substituting. one for the other.

      Years ago we had a strange issue that tracked back to substituting the wrong heat rollers. It was on the Ricoh AF350 versus AF1035. One of them slightly thinner wall than the other, and did not heat up at the same rate, throwing fuser codes. Then we got the Katun substitution that had the C-ring slots a little too far apart, and the heat roller bearings would slip out of the frame. We were stuck with those. I had some custom shims made up, like washers ~1mm thick. Two of these shims behind the clip kept the roller in. Anybody remember the AF350?

      If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
      1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
      2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
      3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
      4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
      5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

        The lamps are different between them, 206l have thicker lamps than 207l.
        Defects are simple, our mind is complicated

          The "Comparison with e-STUDIO205L/255/305/355/455" portion of the service manual shows the hot roller being unchanged across the series' as does the '7' series...I don't currently have both of them on hand but I'd say as long as they weigh the same then their thickness is the same as well.

          I remember those Ricoh models ..they came out with that thinner hot roller for reasons they made up in a bulletin...we had tons of them rip apart right in the middle of the hot roller...copier engineers... *rolls eyes*

            e457 series using HR5070U
            e456 series using HR4530U
            e455 series using HR4530U

            HR4530U can be use on e457 series, but take note of the 6807ZZL1S1C4KZ-C bearings, might be too hard to take it out.

                Hey! lets put the cleaning unit on top of the drum and expect a flimsy spinning Mylar to skoop up the toner and move it 180 degree into the collector screw! ...sounds legit!

                Also, lets make the quality control stuff either tank the toner concentration or just stop adding toner

                Hey! lets also remove that grounding strap for the drum that never failed and expect a bearing to ground out the drum shaft.

                it's OKAY we will then spend the next 6 iterations of this model engineering ways around these flaw..er..features we designed.
