 Posted: Mon Feb 16, 2009 7:12 am Post subject: Alot of Help needed on KIP2900: Gears, SCSI Card? |
  |
|
Hi All,
I was so happy to find this forum. My dad has recently bought a KIP 2900. The copier function used to work but recently stopped working.
The mode of failure is that this light (see below) never stays on full green, it is always flashing. The black arrow points to the light.
I have a feeling it is due to these gears which the teeth has worn off (arrow pointing to gear)
Also, I believe that there is a bit missing here:
Does anyone know where i can get all the gears in this area? I cant seem to find anywhere where i can order the spare parts!
Finally, I dont have any SCSI card (37-pin) to connect to the computer. All i have is one 37pin SCSI cable, do i need an interface between the SCSI card and the printer? Also where can i get a SCSI 37-pin card? I have been searching for months and no joy. Also where can i get the correct drivers and software to allow the KIP2900 to act as a printer?
Any help/advice/suggestions will be greatly received!

| Your best bet is to purchase a 2900 that comes with a working controller. I don't know where you are located, but you can probably purchase one for the cost of freight. That will be cheaper and a ton easier than trying to build your own controller... and buy parts for rebuild. Just my opinion. |

The reason for the light flashing is most probably a gear that drives the fusing unit has also broken or is missing. The gears in the pics that are worn and missing will cause you to get blank copies as the dev unit will not turn.
Phan6622 is correct about the controller, rather try to purchase the complete controller than build it up. |

Many Thanks for your reply.
Where can i purchase an additional controller? I cant really ship another 2900 as my dad is based in china, and I am based in the UK. It is abit of a nightmare to be honest.
As long as i can get the spare parts, it will help alot. I just dont know what it is called.
Cheers |

This is what you need:
4113-23 - 20T Helical gear LH (this is the one that is worn in the pic)
4612A-19 - Spring ( this sits above the part where you think there is a bit missing. And also there is no gear that should be there)
4612A-20 - Gear helical 30T RH (this is most likely the gear broken in the fusing unit that is causing the ready light to keep flashing.
As for the controller, I cant help you there, I am looking for one myself. |

From the parts manual.
I dont think there is a gear missing there, it is just a spring missing. It looks like a gear mist be there, but it is not |
