Ricoh Aficio 1224c - only prints on left side leaving right side blank

I have a problem with my copier Ricoh Aficio 1224c : If I try to copy something or print it copies/prints on the left side leaving 2-3 inches of the paper blank.

Can someone help me find out the problem and resolve it please.

Thanking you in advance.

 

transfer contact clutch needs to be replaced, not a fun job.
Good luck

 

One suggestion, throw it away. Coming from a Ricoh engineer back when these machines were new, I have seen more problems from this model machine than I have with any other color copier combined. Sounds like your problem is because there is excess toner that has fallen on the charge corona unit and needs to be taken and cleaned thoroughly.

About a year or so later after the 1224c was released, Ricoh started offering a "buy back" program for these machines.
