Clicking Noise Coming From Printer

Our Ricoh Aficio MP C5000 printer just started making a loud clicking noise everytime it warms up to print and usually continues for a minute after. It's never made this noise before and seems to be coming from the side where the bypass tray is. Whenever I open the side to take a look the clicking stops. Is there some sort of maintenance that needs to be taken care of? The clicking doesn't bother me, I am just worried it is going to break if we don't do something.

Hi, the clicking is nothing you need to be concerned about, but it is something that a technician can take care of.  There are two sets of bearings in the fuser unit -- over time these bearings start to click.  A Ricoh service tech can easily replace these bearings to get rid of the noise.
