My km1500 copier machine had a problem of a3200?and the image was moving.is there a problem in the paper feed clutch hoping for your help. thanks?

Hi
A3200 is not a known error in the service manuals, maybe it's C3200?

Code

C3200

Description

Exposure lamp problem
• In indicator check before starting copying, the average value in scanning of the shading plate with the CCD is 128 or more.

Causes

Defective scanner board (KP-5063). Defective exposure lamp or inverter board. Incorrect shading position. Poor contact of the connector terminals.

Dear
the paper first picked up from tray and feed up upto registration sensor and stops for a while, then image formation starts, paper flows to heating assy..
You have not mentioned any error code and jammed area detail. also check the life of the feeder assy. and pickup roller.
Before doing activities do clear all error in the machine list.
Thanks.

Hello,
it sounds to me like the registration clutch is faulty. The symptoms of faulty clutch are: "Z" or "S" folded paper in section before drum ( in right side way door ) and image goes out out of center or in very big angle.

Its hard to say without seeing the machine.

You can also try to clean the paper path rollers in right side way of copier, but I don't think that will help!

I can only give you the service manual, write me on [email protected].

It sounds like the feed tire is dirty, OR the feed clutch has sprung. Remove the paper tray On the right side of the copier where you feed the single sheet, you pull down the door. This exposes a fat gray or black feed roller. Take a clean dry towel and dampen it with wd 40. Gently wipe the roller with the cloth turning the roller toward the paper exit direction. Let the WD 40 soak in for ten minutes, replace the paper tray and try to make a copy. If it does, you need a feed roller which will rquire a service cal/take it in. If still no feed the 'clicking' may be a sprung clutch, service call required.

If this helps, please let me know with a vote, thanx

some thing in the machine drive is not moving or clutching. Any noise? When was the last time it had a good cleaning. These copiers have feed clutches that sit right under toner cqrtridge and are a problem area, and not realleasy to change.

If you have noise/paper feed problem it's probably that problem. I hate to say it but a service call is probaqbly in order.

Have you tried to clean the pick up rollers with a rag with a small amout of WD-40 or Simple Green. Clean the roller then whip off with a dry rag. If the problem improves you need to replace the pick up rollers. If not you may have to replace the paper feed clutch. Also, look to see if the seperation pad is ingaging when the paper tray is pushed in. Open the left side door. I've seen the actuator break. Also, have you tried to use the manual feed tray???? I know you made sure the paper guides in the paper tray are set correctly for the size paper in the tray??? Good Luck

You need a new TRANSFER ROLLER, it's the spongy roller under the drum.

is it a clicking noise? If so, pull out the toner unit and the drum unit-is there any toner(and developer) spilled into the back of the machine where the toner unit came from? If so, this will have found its way into the feed clutches at the back causing them to jump gears and slip the drive....you can vacuum out the spill but it is a fairly involved job to clean out the clutches, let's just hope I'm wrong.Other than that more info is required to make a half reasonable guess at the problem

sounds like the paper size you are using is not set for that type.
If it is Letter you are using make sure you have letter in the tray, and depending on the machine it must also be in the same direction. If it is letter the long way make sure it is in the tray the same way.

sounds like the registration clutch is sticking, unplug machine. the reg. clutch is located in the middle of the machine, under the drum unit, it should have about 4 little gray rollers on it, @ the rear of the shaft in the back part of the machine you will see the reg. clutch. take a little bit of alcohol and pour it over the clutch and move the roller to get the toner/dirt out of the clutch. let the alcohol dry. try machine.
