Fixing Problems on Minolta EP 8015 Copier
First off, I am new to this type of repair work. I kind of fell into
running a copy place, and well I enjoy doing all my own repair work so here I am looking for answers. I have two of these machines. Both have ST1100 and ADF1000 1st Machine: Machine Info: Has 1,553,500 Copies. Unsure of last full service Problems: Either placing paper on glass or running through ADF may get a streak on the leading edge of the copy. This is an intermitiant problem, meaning I can place a sheet on the glass run 20 copies and 10 may have a streak and 10 may not. Streak varies in location from right on the edge up to about 1/4 inch into copy. This machine also is known to be dropping toner onto the paper path. I am assuming this is a cleaning blade issue? Does it just need to be replaced? This is causing a major problem with my two siding coping. Last problem is odd to me. When I use astrobright paper and do grouped copying to the sorter, you can hear the paper start to rub the tray above it when its on about the 4-5th tray. Once it reaches about the 6-7th tray it is going to chrunch and jam. Is this an alignment issue or is something just wrong with the sorter unit. Second Machine: Machine Info: 1,330,000 copies Again unsure of last service Problems: May biggest problem is gonna be in the ADF. If I only put in one piece of paper it runs through just perfectly. If I put in more than one sheet it will pull in the first sheet copy it, then the machine will sit there sounding like it is making a copy but doing nothing, then eventually it will make a copy of the same page again and then just permantly hang. I know this has to be a sensor issue in the ADF but I am unsure of what to check. Another issue is the third drawer. It will not reset (slide the the paper pusher bar back to its home position). It throws an error that seems to be a sensor problem but I am unsure of the sensors location. COF79 is the error code. Any help that can be given on this error would be appreicated. Finally this one has a streak on the leading edge as well, but it is different. If I lighten the exposure the streak almost completely goes away or does go away on some copies. With normal auto exposure I end up with it on every one. So this is my list of problems. If anyone can help me, give me some kind of direction to move in I would greatly appreciate it. I have a technician that can get me any of the parts that I need for these machines. I also have two more of these machines in storage that I can rob from. Thing is I need to get them ALL in working order so I can sell the two that I don't use. |
