KM-5050 Finisher not attaching, Why?

Remove black cover at rear of finisher, remove silver screw, pull latch toward you, unplug cable.

Hello rob,
the copier sees the finisher is attached but it does not believe the finisher is firmly docked against the copier.There is a mechanical latching system that holds the finisher firmly against the copier and has a positive latching system, This externally mounted hardware that resides on the copier not only has a physically latching mechanism **** also has a metal tab that sticks out and penetrates an area of the finisher.This small **** on the finisher has a switch inside,When the finisher is close enough and secured to the copier the metal tab on the copier penetrates the **** on the finisher and presses the switch and tells the copier the finisher is in place.The finisher is either not close enough and docked securely to the copier, or the metal tab on the copier is bent and not reaching the switch on the finisher, or the switch was damaged by the move.

on the copier metal bracket that finisher attaches far end or front ull see a metal pin that sticks out.
That pin goes in to the finisher white plastic hole.Inside that hole there is a switch that tells the copier the finisher is attached.

if machine give you this msg it means you need to attache the finisher if finsher attached already just check the finisher swich maybe not attached good

Check if the finiser is inserted properly, try few times.Be carefull with finisher hinges.

The finisher for a Ricoh 2090 is not hot-swappable, meaning you have to turn the copier off completely, attach the finisher cable, and then turn the copier on in order for it to correctly recognize the finisher.

Hello sir; Open the finisher door on the mid of right hand side ther have a cross bar fasten by one screw, loose the screw pull out the cross bar, it will detach from the machine.

the problem cause could be the machine detects that the finisher is not positioned properly if you can detached the finisher from the machine check a hole in the finisher that match a protrusion from the machine , it pushes an interrupter to tell the machine that a finisher was in the correct position. to check fold a small piece of paper and push in to the hole( while the finisher is detached) check the display panel, hope this will help

Turn off main switch. Unplug power cord. Remove two screws where the extendable frame of the finisher connects to the copier. Unplug the connector cord from the back of the copier by pushing release button on the connector.. Done.

Their's a sensor that the Plug from the Finisher to the copier is not read, first make sure the "Attachment Kit' thats the part where when you push the Finisher to the Copier it Locks, their is a metal tab that sticks out and hits a "Sensor" if it doesn't hit the sensor it will keep telling you attach finsiher or close cover, if it's too annoying you can remove the finisher and unplug it from the rear. On the cover thier are alos sensors that need to be activated by tabs,MAKE SURE these are not missing if you do you need to order these items from "Koycera-Mita" Check those sensors
