    canon doc feeder

    Looking for a doc feeder for a mf8170c, mine is sticking causes the print to look stretched out in places. Found staples inside wondering should i just replace the whole thing? Re-furb?
    Thanks!

    I am not a Canon tech but I would remove the offending staples, give the whole show a clean and see how it goes!

      I have removed all the staples, think it may have broken some teeth, maybe why she skips and grabs the paper? Machine was still in use could not get into it all!

        hmmm... I wouldn't suggest just going out and buying a whole new Doc Feeder. However, you do have at least a few options if you are shopping the junk/ebay market. The following fax machines use a very similar Doc Feeder.
        Canon ImageClass D340
        Canon ImageClass MF5530
        Canon ImageClass MF5550
        Canon ImageClass MF5730
        Canon ImageClass MF5750
        Canon ImageClass MF5770
        Canon ImageClass MF8180C
        Canon Laser Class 510

        You may be able to pick up a junker one of these and swap parts from it. Do not think any will be an exact match to just swap the unit. Hope this helps. Otherwise, my advice would be to check all Rollers and Pads, if they are worn at all, even if the unit only has 10k-20k, you may want to start there. Or there is a far chance that it is a motor. These units may not be smart enough to throw error codes. Here are some part numbers if you need them:

        Doc Feeder Assy (whole unit): RG5-6904-080
        Separation Roller Assy. (Both Rollers and Shaft): HM1-0259-000
        Feed Roller (small, grey color): HC1-0590-000
        Separation Pad: HM1-0258-000
        Doc Feeder Motor: FY6-0381-000
        The glass maybe half full, but less is more...
        Printer + Fax + Copier = Jack Of Many Trades,
        but Master Of None
        Color Copier = Not A Color Printer
        InkJet MFP = Not A Fax Machine
        B/W Copier = Not A Press
        Finisher = Deal Closer (salesman, not accessory)
        Copier Tech = Admin's Stress Ball (Scapegoat)

            Found that the belt that drives the Mtr. assy was bad, but could not find just the belt.
            Canon had the assy the cheapest I could find for under 20.00!
            Thanks to all!!
