We have a pro 951 B&W that the finisher when doing sorting single sided copies or printing. The copies will sometimes fly off the lower exit tray or stack unevenly. We have swapped the entire finisher and the problem still persists????? Any suggestions? the firmware is up to date as well.

I had a similar problem on the device pro950 with FS-528. On the upper part of the output shelves , I glued a more hard plastic which pressure the paper down against the shelf. It was assumed that the paper slowly comes to shelves and for this reason , the following are bumps into him. I wil put some pic next time I will be at the coustomore.

Re: Konica 951 Fs532
It's weird that both finishers would do the same thing. Check the springs that are behind the 4 fingers that press down on the stack of paper. Sometimes they break.Comment

Re: Konica 951 Fs532
Has anyone found a more permanent solution? For me, it's stapled sets of two pages. The staple makes one end significantly thicker, and the stacks leans and twists. It seems to affect thicker sets much less. =^..^=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.

Re: Konica 951 Fs532
Basically there are two lower paddles in addition to the two upper paddles that knock down the paper. Here we're talking about the lower paddles.
two hints
1) there are 2 extra clips on the assembly you're removing to use when you drop one.
2) a dab of grease always helps c-clips defy gravity.Comment

Re: Konica 951 Fs532
The flippy arms are brand new, just changed. The front one was cracked at the shaft.
I did fix it, though, to my great surprise.
I have two of these side by side, so I got my keyop to set up an offset job on each machine, then I would sit and watch each machine to see the differences. I tried fajdoooo's trick of setting up the ruler to hang at the leading edge. I noticed that when I set up the ruler to overlap the top of the stack by 6mm, the top-of-the-stack height changed considerably. I expected some variation, but not 15mm or more.
Then I noticed that the grippers that tap the top of the stack were coming up short of touching the paper stack by 6mm or more. Also I noticed that the upper limit sensor LED1 was at the top of the slot at the front, and PS14 was at the bottom of the slot at the rear and bottomed out in it's adjustment.
When I raised the PS14 at the rear by 8mm, then both the front and back (sender and receiver) were even at the top of the slot in the cover. The dangling ruler detected variation of ~6mm, and the grippers tapped the paper stack every time. As a consequence the offset stack is perfectly even and true.
I believe the wild variation in height means that the side tappers are sometimes not touching the side of the stack, and the grippers are not keeping the stack steady, letting static move the paper around. As a side benefit, we're no longer getting the message "The tray is full. Please remove the paper from the tray." after only 300 or 400 pages, sometimes less. And when you do need to remove the paper, the message clears, which it didn't do before. I believed that it had something to do with the sensor in the center of the elevator tray, but in truth, it's the relationship between PS14 elevator tray upper limit, and PS46 near tray empty sensor. Essentially when the elevator tray is empty and lifting, PS46 and PS14 must trip about at the same time.
I hope that helps somebody. I sure did a lot of head scratching over this one. =^..^=If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
