    Hi all,

    Every now and again our RDS motor keep's stopping, this has been an ongoing problem for the last couple of months...

    Sometimes you need to lube the worm gear and make sure it is aligned so it doesn't stall. There is also a note about a redesign for the RDS assy. in the Edoc.

    I'm a technician. I don't have one in front of me. Does Xerox maintain the machine or are you self service?

    Place a call and tell RTS to hand the call over to the engineers straight away instead of holding you up. Just say the iGen is dead and you have a deadline job to run. As far as I can remember where you are (Bracknell?), Tony, Raz, or Adrian will be able to sort you out :) If it been a while I'm sure the fuser and other HFSI's are due anyway
