... only between 5:00 and 7:00 PM (per the 9S-106 jam log). The original exits after the first side scanned, never attempts to scan the second side, then shows E725. Naturally I'll never see it happen, since my day ends at 5:00, but I've got en interesting environmental theory.
You say: "How environmental?" Here's my theory: It's a used car sales office with glass on three of four sides. The MFP faces directly west, with 800 square feet of glass on that side of the building. At 10:00 AM when I was there it was so bright inside that I could hardly see what I was doing. I believe that when the sun get's low enough in the sky, it shines directly into the exit photointerrupter. So when the paper is supposed to reverse, it never detects the original and spits it out to the tray. The RADF thinks that the paper vanished.
The simple solution would be to relocate the machine to a slightly more shady location. Not in this room. Every inch is accounted for, and it's all equally bright. The best I could hope for would be a north facing exposure (no windows).
Has anybody ever seen this on a Toshy RADF? =^..^=
