Yes, this is the machine I got my arm stuck in. It's an FS-532 finisher with SD-510 saddle stitcher.
It jams 1 booklet in 56. It's LTR-R folded stapled, and the first 112 pages pass just fine. The first sign of a problem is a booklet that is folded oddly without staples, but doesn't call a jam. Three or four booklets later another folds oddly but calls a J72-48 jam. The actual jammed paper is in the saddle stitcher eject section. The other 8 pages removed are unmolested.
Once it starts jamming, it will happen much more often. I've got the inclination that it's a magnetizing solenoid, because if I let the machine sit for 1/2 hour I can run another 110 booklets. I suspect that the imaged, fused pages get all the way to the saddle stitcher folding tray, but skew or twist feeding into the tray. The staples miss the paper, and the wadded up booklet is ejected.
I've cleaned the various saddle stitcher rollers numerous times but it hasn't made any difference. The fun thing about the saddle stitcher is you cannot see anything while it's operating. Oh you can see the drive for the rollers, and you can see the knife cycle, but the paper is entirely not-visible in the folding tray. They're running sets of 105 (correction: attempting to run sets of 105). Has anyone seen these jams?
