Is Chad the name for hole punch scrap?
Yes.. not only in copiers w. Punch ... but any unit that takes paper.. 'puter card.. ballots..etc.. Hence the election phrase "hanging chads".. sorry ole IBM card guyOriginally Posted by rrrohan

Another thing to check as a possibility is if the anti-static brushes are intact directly under where the chads exit the punch unit. If they are worn or missing, that could cause the chads to go flying in odd directions.
We just happened to have this exact setup in our shop, so I snapped a couple photos.
If the chads are getting into the lower stapler units in the saddle stitcher, that's quite a ways from the punch unit and the they would have to be falling down the guide into the stapler(s).
Edit to add photos:

Started in the copier service business in the fall of 1988 and worked at the same company for 33.5 years, becoming the senior tech in 2004 but left to pursue another career on 4/29/22.
Extra points for creativity! =^..^=
If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

Interesting! I have 2 c754e's with fs535s and the ru units that do this, Chad's all over the bottom of the finisher on both, punch boxes secure, felts all straight, still don't really know why, it rarely causes an issue, the key op vacuums em up periodically. I have had to straighten the felts once in a while but that's pretty infrequent.
Thoughts?
A!
Same here. Dirty finishers in my experience; never caused an issue though (aside from all those filthy Chads turning the joint into a flophouse).
