Will the machine pass any paper or does it jam every time from all paper trays ?

Re: Ricoh Mp c3503 J018 error
with new fuser unit you have j018? ...try to force the paper format in user tools, maybe an error in format detection, and the machine pick a format for another, or could be damaged the sensor or the harness on PTR unit (right side) where it flexes as you lower the PTR unithey , good day i keep getting error J018 with a Mp c3503. in my case the paper keeps stoping at the fuser entrance(copy or print same error, i had a bad fuser film initialy , got a rebuilt one that only worked for one week , i came in one morning powered up the machine where got a j018 jam . i noticed that the gears that actuates thr blade in the fusing film was stuck . on opening the fuser i noticed the circular slider that moves the blade inside the fusing film was jammed , so i changed it and got the gears and the blade actuating properly . re assembled the fuser. placed it in the printer and got the same J018 jam. i got frustrated and bought a new fuser i still keep getting the j018 jam even with the new fuser. can anybody help me ?, could it be an issue with the board ?... the fuser motor when tested in service mode works in high speed and slow speed . any ideas?"loneliness is an invention of the white man, when we are alone we talk to everything around us, we are never alone" (Ojibwa)Comment

Re: Ricoh Mp c3503 J018 error

I always do a hand test first by turning the gears before installing the unit. It could also be that the engine broke under load, try replacing it with another similar one in the car if there is one.Comment

Re: Ricoh Mp c3503 J018 error
i replaced the entire fuser unit, i now have 2 the old and the new . same j018 error. you same engine you were referinng to the ruser roller motor right? . i took the back off and noticed that it turns on start up . in service mode only the high and slow speed seems to work , nothing happens ad medium speed. i dont have another fuser roller motor for this machine, may have to try purchasing a motor to test.Comment

Re: Ricoh Mp c3503 J018 error
so my comrades , the cable was the issue , there was no visible signs of breakage ,funnily, it appears that the factory tie straps that held the sensor wires together was where the breakages were hiding. patched them up pretty good , now shes spitting out papers again . thanks much guys
