Paper curl at exit for MPCxx03 and MPxx54

[Popolopo]

Something like image attached. *not the same machine but same problem, you got the point.

Try lower temperature, turn on decurl. Didn't help much.
Any help?

I have had a couple of lease returns of these series that I removed the finisher from and it would do this.
Apparently when a finisher is installed it uses a different set of exit rollers.
Possible that is what you are experiencing?

Could you share picture of those exit roller? Which one is the finisher version, version the normal one.

I know MPCxx04 have that kind exit roller. Didn't notice for MPCxx03

For the internal finisher the paper enters the finisher through what is the duplex turn around roller for operation with no finisher. On one of the first models to have an internal finisher I had to replace the sensor. The Ricoh help desk said they were getting a lot of calls for that sensor. They gave me a different part number to order. Apparently the turn around sensor didn't have as tight a Hysteresis factor and didn't respond as fast as the original exit sensor.

Try open and test a fresh realm of paper from your own stock. This looks like an issue with paper quality or room/enviroment climatic conditions (leading to damp paper).

Had same problem

Try fresh realm of paper. I know the 04 color series have modified exit rollers D241 4950

the exit roller must have the shape in the photo, if straight ones are not good, they are for the finisher, and cause that problem.

If you turn the paper upside down, do you have the same problem? What happed if you try SEF feed? Or as Gift and Codex suggested, try fresh paper.

Hysteresis factor

You made me look up what that word meant LOL thank you!!

• 
  the phenomenon in which the value of a physical property lags behind changes in the effect causing it, as for instance when magnetic induction lags behind the magnetizing force.

Or optical sensors lag behind changes in light levels

My second wife had a Hysteresis...didn't improve her moods one bit...

Re: Paper curl at exit for MPCxx03 and MPxx54

as shown in the photo. you need the fat rollers, not the skinny ones. whenever a finisher is installed, we generally throw out the skinny ones. guess i should probably hang onto one set just in case.

It could also be a case of paper with moisture.
I would try a different A4 package.

This may occur due to the following situations.


Wet paper
Paper quality
So it was cut on the reel at the factory.
