Every organization has embraced the use of machines and pieces of equipment. The aim of doing this is to increase their productivity through saving of time and ensuring quality of work. From time to time, these pieces are however susceptible to damages which may bring about massive losses in terms of time and the resources spent. This is the reason why companies have introduced Ricoh copy machine repair services to cater for such eventualities. Below are some of the issues encountered by these systems and their solutions.

Among the most common problems that are experienced by almost all users is paper jams. This comes from dirt, using the wrong type of paper or if the rollers feeding the equipment are worn out. Undertake cleaning of the equipment to get rid of dirt and especially dust particles that may have stuck. Additionally, occasionally replace the rollers and use only the specified type of paper.

Another problem experienced is faded printouts. The product might come out as not uniform where some of the items are clear while others are entirely invisible. It is due to low ink which makes it insufficient for the work. The set density might be way too low to produce visible items. Resent the density after refilling the toners to enable printing of clear items.

Ghosting is an issue where the image is going to be printed on the paper, but on some other part, the same appears in other parts. It automatically makes the item obsolete which is a waste of resources being used. The problem results from the power supply. Disconnect it and plug in another device to bring it back to normal.

The item might be easily smeared when a hand is run over the produced piece. It results from damage to the fuse assembly, and the toner might be default which means it is letting out a lot of ink and there is a spillage in the device. The solution is to fix the cartridges periodically and adequately clean them to eradicate any spill that might have occurred.

It is also a common thing to have a 50.4 error message appearing in the middle of their working. The reason behind this is the use of a UPS source of power instead of a direct socket connection. It requires quite an amount of power for the heating and general operation which means that it will not be functional when connected on a UPS instead of the direct connection.

Another problem can arise due to printing from the wrong paper tray. As you go about this process one expects that the process will proceed using a given tray but it changes and uses the opposite one. It is a problem that usually results from wrong setting on the PC or on the size settings on a device.

Lastly, unintended lines might be seen on the product. When there are some particles on the reader lens, they might be transferred to the document being reproduced in the form of these lines. The item becomes a waste from this nature of a default. Replace the drum and ensure that at regular intervals of time there is some cleaning of the lens to eliminate these lines causing particles.
