FS-532 jamming J7217

I'm not sure if you solved your problem yet. But the little black fingers that stack the paper ( the manual calls them "The Grippers" ) have a tendency to crack right at the shaft. If one appears to sit just slightly higher than the other it's a sure bet that it is cracked. Fun job to change! I have one running right now without the Grippers as they are on back order here.

Well my flippy arms gave out today. I got C1155 codes, and the front arm snags on the center feature, and it sputters and vibrates trying to rotate. It's been 6 weeks and naturally I don't have the part yet, so I did a MacGuyver. It's the tray shift mechanism that was preventing me from getting the assembly out. Hopefully it will take less than 3 hours to install the new part, the next time.

Second time around: 55 minutes. This old dog can learn a new trick or two. =^..^=

55 Min is pretty good considering the amount of dis-assembly. How much time did the McGuyver take? By the way great pics!

15 minutes, #67 drill bit and hand driver, 1 SPC (small paper clip), a few drops of cyanoacetate, and the small duck-bills to shape the wire. The new style part is re-designed, such that the 12mm cylindrical end that rests up against the roll pin is separate, and consequently doesn't need to break off any more. =^..^=

Ugh, first call after the New Years weekend and I've got a fs-532 with c1155 codes. One of the "flippy" arms is higher than the other. Looks like I'll be tackling this job soon. Ordering the parts, fingers crossed it doesn't take months to get them.
