    Lightbulb Re: MPC3300 - SP to slow down paper passage?

    Hopefully that this is still interesting for others i'm pushing it up. How heavy could that paper be he got problems with? Is that only the paper transport concerning? I'm not wondering at least after comparing the paper-way to other machines. Never the less I already have fusing problems with 160 g/mē paper at duplex. For remembering it's specs says 256 g/mē and even the old cl7000 and similar can practically handle 250 g/mē. (by tuning the SP quite a little) regards

    If the heavy paper is run exclusively through the bypass, you might try fiddling around with the paper aligning buckle adjustment. That is SP1-003, 12 through 14 depending on the setting for the bypass in user tools or the print driver. It won't help with fusing problems, but it might help with feeding.
    Be aware that this will most likely cause intermittent stupid and wrong things to happen when feeding paper that is in spec in addition to the normal and expected problems when feeding the out of spec paper. It will probably wear out the feed and separation rollers faster, too (probably wear out the clutches and paper guides (clear mylar ones especially) faster as well).
    While it is not a color copier, a Risograph is more suitable for feeding heavier paper stock. Other digital duplicators might be OK as well, but I only work on Risos so that's all I can speak for.

    just remember even if you find an sp to slow the paper passage down, when they decide to use lighter paper there will be jamming you then cant say its the paper since you adjusted for beyond paper spec you will have to be a yoyo and adjusting for free. save your sanity paper spec for the machine is there for a reason it works best at that weight put your foot down and say thats it.
    Get your facts first, and then you can distort them as much as you please.

    Have you put it to your customer that he is toying with the reliability of his machine by using paper that is out of the range the machine is made for? Surely he must understand that he is going to be liable for breakdown costs due to using paper that is out of spec?

    You don't strap a plough to your Mini Cooper and go plough a corn field?? And then complain to BMW that the clutch does not last!!??

    As well as setting the bypass to Thick 3 make sure its also set to Cardstock im pretty sure when set to Cardstock that slows it down a little.

    also set the option in the printer settings for the bypass to use the machines settings and not the driver settings if the issue is with printing it will Ignore the settings in the machine and use the driver settings if you dont do that.
