    Problem with the prints - ricoh mpc2800

    Hello guys, I have some problems with my ricoh printer MPC2800. The printer was working fine, but now, copier and printer tests are so bad.

    What should I check to resolve this issue?

    What?
    Looks fine to me .

    But seriously, do you really expect a few lines of text is going to help you resolve that?

    That's an INSULT to our industry!


    BTW....the newest models will text and email you 3 days notice before they are going to fail.
    Maybe something to consider

    I would like some tips, what I could check to try to solve this problem, the copies were coming out perfectly well, and from one hour to another, it started to present these failures.

    And have you tried anything on your own? What are the PM counters? What is the average number of pages per job? The MP C2800 was introduced 14 years ago. Maybe it is time for something newer.

    Well, I would start at the fuser and see if on of the pressure levers is not broken.

    Can you wipe off the toner, like it's poor fusing, or is the toner fixed good to the paper? Then maybe a transfer problem.

    Looking like a failing fuser. If the toner wipes off with your fingers, it's the fuser. You can also pull open the door before the page gets to the fuser to see if its image formation related.

    Pay no mind to the grumpy old fucks on this site, they are part of the "Get Off My Lawn" club and seem to do nothing but live on this. Dude even posted an example.....
    Nice welcome assholes!!!!


    Failing to plan is planning to fail!!!

    If the problem started immediately after having cleared a paper jam, it is most likely a broken PTR unit.

    This is a forum for Service Engineers not a end user forum, things works until it brakes thats life. With the small amount of information you’re providing, I will put myself in the grumpy old fart category.
    Please start you post with brand, model, problem.
