Media jam transfer roller

After experiencing unnatural color streaks in my prints I cleaned the printer as stated in the manual (rollers and laserlens). After reinserting the drum the printer gave the error `media jam transfer roller` with no paper inside.
Please advise. I only printed about 10000 pagesm so I do not think it should be a hardware problem.

I also have a media jam transfer roller message and no paper is in the printer and it won't print. How can I get it to print again?

Same problems here... No paper in system to cause this message so troubleshooting solution in user's guide is no help. What now? I also cleaned insides due to the color streaks on the sides of pages. Probably should have just lived with them.

We have a Xerox 6120 which is mechanically identical to the 2430. It was reporting media jams. We determined after removal and careful inspection that the fuser roller and fuser pressure roller had been damaged by what looked like someone attempting to clear a jam with a sharp object. I cannot speak re: the 2430, but the fuser in the 6120 is not a FRU. The construction of the fuser doesn't tolerate any flaws on either surface. There was more paper jammed in the fuser where we couldn't see it until we had the fuser out of the printer. We are shopping for a new printer as the repairs will cost more than we paid for the printer.

Hello pp-helps,

This is very interesting. I do have the very SAME problem with my Xerox 6120 printer. I've been looking for the fuser roller all over without any sucess. The new fuser unit costs approximately the same as a new printer. I'm frustated at this time. I want to ask you the following: Are the mechanical components from the 2430 exactly the same as the 6120 as far as the fuser unit goes? if I find a roller replacement for the 2430 will it fit my 6120? do you have a p/n by any chance or know where can I get it?
I really really appreciate your help.

Regards,
Frank

We have installed in our office a Canon MF8330Cdn printer. Every page that is printed now have a vertical line down the entire length of the page about 1" from the left hand edge of the page. Can you...

Her are somethings to try.

Paper jam
Bad toner cartridge or bad toner.
Clean the corona wire (see the manual)
Drum is wearing out and needs to be replaced.

Sometime a small piece of paper can get jammed in the toner cartridge roller and cause this type of problem.
Also, often this seen with after market toner cartridges or refilled cartridges. Poor quality or old toner will clump inside the cartridge roller wiper blade. Just like dirt under the wiper blade on an auto, it will leave streak on the toner roller that are transfered to the print drum.
Take a look at the toner cartridge first and inspect the long black roller. If the streaks are there then you need a new cartridge.
If no on the roller streaks try to clean the corona wires.
Also inspect the drum to see if has streak. Try wiping drum with soft tissue paper to see if it come off or is etched into drum.

HP4+ print quality was perfect, but printer was jamming, so I replaced all the roller parts in the Maintenance Kit, which corrected all jamming! All the paper rollers and the transfer roller is now...

Run the 1/2 test.
Load paper in the manual feed tray.
Print anything that requires more than 2 sheets.
As the paper enters the printer open the top cover.
Remove the toner cartridge.
Look down at the paper.
If it looks like the problems you described, change the toner.
If it looks good, reinstall the old transfer roller and rerun the test.
If transfer roller doesn't fix it, you have a bad fuser. Put the old one in and repeat.

Having problems with the rimage everest printing vertical streaks a lighter shade of the color that should be printing

The rollers under the Transfer ribbon is dirty, I am sure if you look at the streaking it will line up with these rollers. Clean them with alcohol.

HP 2600n Ironing transfer paper jammed around top roller

It is probably stuck permanently, and the fuser will need to be replaced. I believe the "fuser replacement" instructions are in the manual.

Developer streak
Developer streak is characterized by a line of dark or missing toner
that stretches from the leading edge to the trailing edge. Replace the
toner cartridge corresponding to the color of the developer streak (for
example, if the streak is magenta, replace the magenta toner
cartridge).

Repetitive defects troubleshooting
Repetitive defects are defects that occur in the same vertical position
on the page, but not necessarily on every page. Most repetitive
defects are caused by problems with one of the following, and are
indicated by the positioning of the defect on the page:
developer roller (at 38 mm)
charging roller (at 44 mm)—see additional information under
“Charge roller set” on page 454.
cleaning roller (at 56 mm)
developer DSD wheels (at 65 mm)
transfer roller (at 66 mm)
transfer drum (occurs once per 11-by-17 inch or A3-sized page,
or every other letter- or A4-sized page)
fuser (at 150.5 mm)
imaging drum (at 195 mm)
transfer belt (at 222 mm)

Most of the time when I find this happening on a printer, not just Ricoh's it turns out to be the PCU (photo conductor unit). The color PCU is one unit and the black is a seperate unit. Hope this helps.

2 IN. GRAY AREA DOWN SIDE PAPER

There are several things that can cause this. A worn toner cartridge and/or transfer roller can cause vertical smears, but it may also be a worn fuser assembly. The teflon coating on the fixing (heat) roller wears off, and leaves vertical streaks of varying widths on the pages. Sometimes you may see "ghost" images on the pages for the same reason. Open the back door of the printer, and hold down the exit guide on the fuser (carefull, it may be very hot). There are two long rollers, the lower one is black, the upper roller is either grey or shiny brown. That's the teflon coating. See if it's peeled or damaged. If so, replace the fuser assembly.
