LJ 4000 maintenance kit problems....

[rarara]

hi there,

have just replaced the maintenance kit and now when trying to do a test print i am getting constant 13.1 paper jams from the main tray. whats gone wrong?

even tried putting the old rollers back in, but makes no difference.

has anyone else had this problem?

Is the paper actually jamming or is it just not getting pulled from the tray?

I repaired about 15 printers with paper moans when printing trom tray 2 or 3.
The seperation clutch had TOO MUCH grip and transmitted too much torque. The seperation clutch is supposed to slip. Usually the clutch gets tighter as it ages and counter-acts what the feed rollers are doing.

Replace the seperation clutch (small black & white drum next to the seperation/lower rollerin the paper cassette)or split it and remove a little iron filings at a time until the moan goes away when feeding from the tray you are working on.
