Countermeasure against leading edge misalignment
or jam during duplex printing
1. Model Name
AR-M165/M205/M206/M207/M207E, AR-5316N/5320N
2. Symptom
For the above models manufactured in Thailand, leading edge misalignment or jam
may occur since the paper leading edge touches the edge (rib section) of the transport
section on the base plate during duplex printing.
To improve productivity, the mold for the base plate has been changed at the start of
production in Thailand, and the shape of the transport section's edge has also been
changed. The above trouble occurs due to shape change. (The base plate differs in
shape between production in Thailand and that in China.)
For the S/N of the product manufactured in Thailand, the 2nd number from the left is
"3".
(S/N: O3OOOOOO)
The above trouble has not occurred in the product manufactured in a country other
than Thailand.
For the base plate (P/N GDAI-0002QSE1) supplied as a service part, the above trouble
does not occur since it is manufactured in China.

3. Description
PS guide sheets for guiding the paper leading edge have been added to the multi frame
cover guide located just in front of the base plate in order that paper passes through
the edge (rib section) of the transport section on the base plate smoothly avoiding
contact with it during duplex printing.
● Places adding the PS guide sheets to the multi frame cover guide and attachment

Note: Before attaching the PS guide sheets, wipe the multi frame cover guide with
