Paper Exit Pawl Drive Timing Adjustment - Ricoh JP5000 Service Manual

PAPER DELIVERY SECTION

6.12.7 PAPER EXIT PAWL DRIVE TIMING ADJUSTMENT

PURPOSE: To ensure smooth paper feed, and to ensure that the exit pawl does
not touch the master clamper on the drum.
NOTE: You must adjust this after the main drive belt is replaced.
1. Remove the drum.
2. Remove the paper delivery unit. (See 6.12.1 Paper Delivery Unit and Air Knife
Fan Unit.)
3. Make sure that the drum drive disk is in the home position.
NOTE: Normally, the disk is in the home position after the drum is removed. If
necessary, set the drum securing tool [A] to make sure that the drum
drive disk is in the home position. (If the special tool is not available,
align the long positioning hole in the drum drive disk exactly with the
shaft [C] below it as shown.)
4. Make sure that the positioning holes in the rear frame and the drive gear [B] are
in line as shown [C].
5. If the holes are in line, the paper exit pawl drive timing is OK. If they are not,
remove the gear [B] and reinstall it so that the holes are in line.
