Printing one page at time the printer seems as though it's not grabbing the page from the paper tray quick enough.
The end result is a larger gap of white paper before the print starts.
If I print say 5 copies or more, I can hear an extra click along the paper path, and seems to grap the paper ok and pages print well.
Is it my rollers somewhere? What heats up enough to enable that extra click? Is it worth repairing? or just get a new Kyocera?
approx 5 years old?
Thanks,
Stuart.
This is a known problem.
Kyocera pretends to produce very silent printers. Therefore certain sheet metal parts inside the printer have a small piece of sponge rubber at their endings.
Unfortunately over the years this sponge rubber gets sticky. The corresponding lever, that is covered at its end with sponge rubber, sticks too long to its initial position. This is the reason why a certain lever is moved too late by the electromagnet into the position where a certain pulley is released.
As a result printing and paper movement are no longer coordinated and the printout is too low on the sheet.
Solution: Get rid of the sponge rubber, clean the lever very well in order to avoid it from sticking in its initial position. As a result you will here a much harder metallic noise when the lever moves, but the printout should be o.k.
Set print driver to spool that will help with the one page at a time and clean the rollers that feed pages into the printer with rubbing alcohol that will help with slipping pages...
