    Smile Ricoh Aficio 2075SP ~ Printing Unwanted data on Word files & Config Page

    Good day everyone,

    Reaching out to get opinion of the source of unwanted data when printing Word files @ page 400 of a 1000 page job. Then after a new job is sent to printer all pages are clear until once again @ about page 400 to 700 the defective printing reappears.

    I attached 3 files to have them reviewed.

    After 4500 to 5000 printed pages I printed a Printer Config Page it also appeared on their. Does not occur when doing Copy Jobs.

    I updated all firmware & even installed the BETA:

    B140_printer_BETA Firmware_v1.05B 1221 2006

    To correct Jeberish Printing, it did not correct the issue.

    Thanks for your Input

    I would suspect HDD or Memory.

    I was leaning to getting into realigning the Laser Unit, OK I will follow thru.

    I have run into this before on this model and a few other models (3235C comes to mind).

    I think we have gotten lucky a couple times in just Formatting the HDD, but ultimately came the time they had to be replaced.

    If it was the laser unit, I think you would just get random lines, and not the "added text/ data".

    DO NOT DO A MEMORY CLEAR "ALL" (5-801-001). Only do it for whatever function you are trying to resolve an issue for (i.e. Scanner, or NCS). In this case, I don't think you really need to do any kind of memory clear.

    Take out the RAM and reseat it, if you haven’t done so already.

    Worth a shot.

    It's a memory overflow. The RAM on the machine is likely beginning to fail and can't clear itself so you get artifacts in jobs. Replacement may be difficult as this is a fifteen year old machine. Boards and electrical components that you can find will likely be used so it may be a better option to replace it with a newer machine if possible.
