Ricoh AP600N (by 2 users)

posted by SergeyG on Jan 08, 2008


This printer started to print strangely as follows:

First page sometimes OKlets say w left margin of 1/2"
Second page left margin is now 1/2"+ maybe 1/8"
Thirds page whatever was second page + ~~ 1/8"
So every page gets skewed like that then has a paper jam and stops.

Restarting after clear the paper jam; same as above; 1st page OK all otehr pages offset by 1/8" or so.

Tried to clean accesible rollers etc, somehow helped (was offset by 1/4" or so prior) but problems didnt go away, Called Ricoh they immediately suggested tech visit at $195.00/hour plus parts WHEwwwww!!!. They never mentioned that there is a mainrtenance kit for about $200 available out there for this printer model either !!!!!!!.

Their tech supoport is OUT TO MAKE MONEY !!!!!

Before I buy this 90,000 page Maintenance Kit I thuoght I would ask you, esteemed top computer experts. Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance. Best Regards

I am using RICOH AP600N for almost 4 years now and I recently started having the same problem which Sergey is having. I am not sure whether buying $190 maintenance kit is better or replacing it with a new printer.

I work with over 100 of these Ricoh printers. The MAint kit is only the fuser and does nothing to fix the problem. I have 3 in my office at the moment I am working on with new Maint kits ( fuser & 3 rollers ) snd it makes no difference. I am in the process of breaking one down and rebuilding it.
