difference between A0285811 and A0285805 is the fuse only.)
NOTE 2. To enable the use of F4 size paper (8

control board have been changed. (Their part numbers have not been changed. For details, refer to RTB No. 1. ) To
enable the use of the same function on the ADF (original size detection), the ROM has been changed from the March ’92
production. (5 machines of the first production use the old type ROM : A0285851.) The part number of the board is still the
same (A0285805 → A).

It was found that the bearing on the front side of the original exit roller (A0 28 7498) b rea ks or the roller sha ft wears out du e to
too high tension of the drive belt . This may occur after making 800,000 copies (in worst case) and cause original misfeeds at
the exit area.
To control the drive belt tension properly, a belt tightener has been added as shown below.
Due to this, the drive belt has been lengthe ne d. The pulle y (A 0287 635) an d E-rin g (07 2000 40 E) are still used in the
different locations as shown.
Note: As a temporary method in the production, the tigh tener spring which has stronger t ension than that of the prope r

First Transport
Sensor
Information for Ricoh model (Ricoh FT9101 ) star ts from thi s bull eti n. MB no. 1 to no. 11 are for the Ge ste tner
and nashuatec models only.
To minimize original smearing or jams in the RDH mode, the pulley, which drive s the entrance turn roller, and the right turn
guide plate have been changed . Deta ils of th e cha nges are as follows.
NOTE: This improvement is more effective with the new RDH ROM (refer to RTB-017).
1. In the RDH the original is stopped once at the ent ran ce of the inte rmediate transport section as soo n as the first tran spo rt
sensor detects it. At this time, while the first and secon d relay rollers stop immediately, the entrance turn roller still turns
because of a one-way clutch built-in the roller’s pulle y. As a result , the orig ina l rubs ag ain st th e first relay roller and this will
cause smearing on the reverse of orig ina ls after many original recirculations. This ma y also cau se orig inal jams if the

To prevent this symptom, the one -way clut ch in th e en tra nce turn roller pulley has been removed, and th e pu lley is fixed on th e
roller shaft with two headle ss set screws. The one-way clutch was used to make it easier to pull out the jammed origina l
stopped between the rollers. Due to this mo dif ication, the removal of such a jam slightly becomes harder but it remains no
problem.
CAUTION: As a special hard material is used for the roller’s shaft, be sure to tighten the set screws firmly t o prevent
the pulley from slipping on the shaft . The remo val of the pulle y is no prob lem eve n whe n th e set scre ws

When an original stops in front the right turn rolle r, th e trailing edge of the previousely fed original is still caught with the
right turn roller as shown below. Due to a one-way clutch built-in th e righ t turn rolle r’s p ulle y, th e roller can still turn to feed
the original even after the original feed moto r stops.
As a side effect of the RDH ROM modification (refer to RTB-01 7), the trailin g edge of orig ina ls ten ds to be caugh t with the
right turn roller because th e orig inal feed motor stops earlier than old type. This might cause original jams, especially wh en
11" x 81/2" or 14" x 81/2" originals are used (their short edges are longer than that of A4 size). Also, as the original stop timing in the intermediate tran spo rt fo r t he last original is slightly earlier than usual in the simplex orig ina ls to du ple x copy
mode, the last original tends to be delayed to be transpo rted onto the exposure glass. Thus, creating an improper leadin g
edge registration for its co py. (This does not occu r with A4 origin als, but might occur with 11" x 81/2" or 14" x 81/2" origi-
nals.)
NOTE: These symptoms do no t occu r wh en the tran sport belt is replaced at the PM intervals. If the friction between
originals and the transport be lt be come s less, the problems will occur.

To increase the tolera nce for th e modification of MB no. 13 (the right tu rn pre ssure roller change), the right turn roller ha s
been changed as shown below.
The one of the rubber rollers (the non-op eration side) has been changed to a meta l f lywhe el. This allows the right turn
roller to rotate more smoothly after the origina l fee d mot o r sto ps. For the application to the field ma chin es, the change of

To increase the durability, the follo wing chan ge s have been mad e:
1) The dry bearings have been changed to ball bearings. Due to this, the portions of the air duct which sup po rt th e bearin gs ha ve

2) To prevent the shaft of the shutter spring boss from wearing out, the material of the solenoid link has been chan ge d fro m me ta l

It was found that the shaft of th e inve rte r e ntrance roller might wear out or that the rolle r’s bea ring s mig ht brea k
when the tension of its d rive belt is t oo string . Although the tension is determine d by a spring, too much tension is

To prevent this, the screw securing the lower side of the inverter idler pla te (P /N-A 02 8772 7) ha s been cha ng ed to a

To increase the durability of the shaft of the inverte r ent rance roller, its material has been chan ge d to a harder metal. At the
same time, the end of the sha ft , to which the drive pulley is installed, has be en leng thened by 2mm. This makes the flat part
of the shaft visible so that the pulley can be prope rly positioned before tightenin g the two headless set screws.
CAUTION: With the old inverter ent ran ce roller, the pulley just meets the end of the rolle r’s sh af t, but with th e ne w one 2mm
from the end of the shaft must be seen when the pulley is installed as sho wn below.
To make the removal of the inverte r ent ran ce roller easier, the bushing plate (P/N-A0287538), which includes a ball
bearing, has been changed to a norma l ball be arin g (P/N-07413506). (The screw securing the bushing plate was hard to

arm can be removed by pushing ou t th e pin using a hexagonal key or equivale nt as shown below.
NOTE: When you stick the mylar she et and magn et ca tch plat e, be sure to clean the area where
those parts are installe d with a cloth damped with alcohol. Oth erwise, the magnet catch

DETAILS OF MODIFICATION
The size of originals set in the RDH can be detecte d based on the positions of the side fences and original stopper (the
end fence). Since the widt hs of 81/2" x 14" and B4 originals are close, 81/2" x 14" originals can be distin gu ishe d by th e
original stopper position. When the origina l stop per is set at the 81/2 inch position, the original length sensor is
activated by the end fe nce gear which moves along with the origin al sto pp er.
However, the area on the gear wh ere light from the original length senso r is reflected varies from one machine to
another due to part variation. Very rarely, the orig ina l leng th senso r sometimes is not activated properly. If this occurs
and 81/2" x 14" originals are used some originals are rand omly fe d ou t up-side down because the RDH carries out the
original transportat ion wit h th e timin g for B4 originals and some originals are no t inve rte d in th e reversing section
properly. Due to the same reaso n, blan k copie s or copie s wit h abno rmal lea ding edge registrations are made.
NOTE: 1. This problem does not alwa ys occur eve n in th e problem machine. The original stopp er po sitio n sligh tly
varies each time when it is set.
2. This problem does not occur when 81/ 2 " x 11" origin als are used . Such origin als can be distinguished from
the other size originals by only the position of the side fence s.
To ensure that the original len gth sen sor is a ctiva te d pro perly, th e orig ina l le ngth sensor actuator has been adhered on
the end plate front guid e as sho wn on the following page.
CAUTION : When you install the new part, be sure to make it parallel with the end plate front guide as shown.
