Need help with Konica 2130

Background:Issue 1:Issue 2:

"feed clutch" or sinhronization clutch? Try to clean the feed rollers using some type of ethyl alkohol,if its the clutch u need to demagnet it(well i forgot how that was happening i have alot of clutchs and simply change them(mostly for old analog machines from EP series)).

About the RADF well they usualy loves to makes problems while transporting Try to put it in some other direction(push it to right and then try a copy).

U said that one copy get out perfect so try the RADF with only one page.If its not getting over so u have issue in the RADF.(mby dirty rollers or some spring is deformed)

Are you saying that there is also a "synchronization clutch" which may be at fault here? If so, where is it? Also, with regards to demagnetizing, are you saying that a clutch can malfunction because it is magnetized? If so, will simply replacing the clutch suffice, or do I have to demagnetize something else also? Sorry, this is all very new to me. Thank you very much for your time, you're very kind.

Yes the old EP machines (from minolta,konica etc.) do have a synchronization clutch and synchronization roll.They are under the imaging modul when you open the machine.My camera isnt here otherwise i was going to make a picture a couple of time i was having a problem with copies that not pass by,and there wasnt problem in the moduls or in the fuser.How it work the synchronization roll,when u make a copy it scan the original then due to optical system it transfers it like a charge to the drum,in the same time the blank sheet goes to this syn roll,and waits for a signal,if the clutch is dirty or magnetized the signal comes with delay witch results in jam(no paper passing).
ps:sry for my bad english hope u understud that

Thank you!

Copycommerce: Thank you so much for your kindness and help, I am very appreciative. You english is fine, I actually understood everything you said perfectly. I think we may have been referring to the same clutch, it is the one right next to the "toner filter box" behind the back cover. Anyway, I removed this clutch (which took all of 5 minutes) and blew it out with compressed air. This seemed to correct the problem (oddly enough!) with both the RADF unit and paper feed. All worked perfectly for a couple of days, then it started to do it again, so I blew it out again (which fixed it again). A new clutch should be here in the next few days, hopefully this was actually the problem and it isn't just a case of something that likes to be taken apart every few copies (LOL). Anyway, thanks! Machine is working great except for one minor additional issue with the RADF, which has come to my attention since using it daily. I'll cover this in another post though. Best of luck to you and all, and thanks for this forum.
