Ricoh MP C306 / C307 / C406 Transfer Belt (ITB) Cleaning Blade (D1966002)
Product Overview Restore the high-definition color performance of your Ricoh MFP with our Premium ITB Cleaning Blade. Specifically engineered for the Ricoh MP C306, C307, and C406 series, this blade is the direct replacement for the cleaning component within the Intermediate Transfer Belt assembly (D1966002).
As the primary wiper for the transfer belt, this blade ensures that any residual toner is completely removed after the image is transferred to the paper. If you are noticing vertical color streaks or a "shadow" of the previous page on your prints, it is time to replace the ITB cleaning blade.
Key Features:
- Precision Polyurethane Edge: Features a high-resilience, chemically resistant polyurethane edge designed to clean fine PxP-EQ toner particles effectively.
- Exact OEM Specifications: Manufactured to match the length and pressure requirements of the D1966002 assembly for a perfect "squeegee" effect.
- Extended Belt Life: By maintaining a clean belt surface without excessive friction, this blade helps prevent premature wear and scratching on your expensive ITB.
- Cost-Efficient Solution: Allows technicians to rebuild the ITB cleaning unit rather than replacing the entire costly assembly.

Technician’s Maintenance Tip:
The Ricoh MP C306/C307 series has a compact internal layout where heat can build up. When installing the D1966002 blade, ensure the Waste Toner Collection Auger is rotating freely. If the waste path is clogged, toner will back up and force the blade to lift, leading to immediate cleaning failure.
Pro-Tip: To prevent "blade flip" or damage to the transfer belt, apply a thin layer of Yellow Toner or Kynar lubricant to the cleaning edge before reassembly. This provides essential lubrication during the machine's initial "Self-Check" cycle.
