This error code is related to a Insufficient oil.
The fusing oil tank is in the rear of the machine.
You have to call Ricoh to supply the oil.
See you

The problem is Main motor error.

The problem can be two diffrent things.

1. Defective main motor
2. Too much load of the main motor drive

I worked on this same code just the other day for a customer. This SC305 code means the charge corona cleaner is not working properly. The charge corona is located behind the large front door, towards the bottom and just left of center. It has a small thumb screw and a white cord with an end on it like a telephone cord. You can try removing the assembly and blow it out carefully with canned air. Be careful about the very thin hairlike wire in the shell. You can also remove the end of the unit and check that the motor is not gummed up. If it is just put a little light oil on it. Just cycle the power off then on again to reset and try.
Usually once they get repositioned properly they will work fine. Sometimes I have replaced the unit with one from a parts machine.
Good Luck and Thank You for using Fixya.

when you selected auto tray was that in the driver or microsoft settings ? microsoft settings will overide the copier settings driver. look under file then page setup to see what it is set for.
