If it ain't broke, don't fix it
A picture is worth a thousand words -
Hello and thanks for the picture. The white link from the solenoid is not attached to the black plastic bar that rotates to lift the rollers. I'm fairly certain a stud has broken off the black plastic lift bar since I can see a "circle" of plastic where a stud may have broken away. I'm clever enough to try an approach similar to what totoro suggested.Comment

How would you respond if someone asked you "It's broke. I don't know what to do. No, I haven't actually looked at it yet. ... "
I'd say take a look at it. Think for yourself a little. Then come back.
No insult intended. It's just a newbie approach to problem solving. =^..^=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.

I made it VERY CLEAR that I had removed the covers and was certain of what I could see. Go back and re-read my post. I never said "It's broke. I don't know what to do. No, I haven't actually looked at it yet. ... "Comment

U make no sense at all,
a tech with your experience should have a procedure,u don't need Canon XP to figure this out-
if u look in and see item #1 has a broken stud end that should sit in the white extending lever from the white linkage that is dangling free-
first observation- is to order item #1/ if u determine it looks damaged
second observation- is to inspect linkage to see if broken stud end is in white holder lever hole
third observation - is to look and see that the solenoid description in parts book states OFFSET SOLENOID ASS'Y, that means plunger and linkage is attached.
fourth observation-would be to see if white holder lever #16 (4A3-1125-000) is damaged/it's held in place by a bushing & a clip

I do have a procedure. Having never seen this finisher before I first looked it over but knew better than to just start ripping into it. Realizing I needed some guidance, I downloaded the service literature and read it quite thoroughly before I returned to begin taking the covers off for a more detailed look. The problem I had with what I observed is that the parts section does not show the parts in a relation to each other. Holder lever #16 has 2 holes in it and I couldn't tell if perhaps a stud with a head and a keeper could pass thru it and the white link to connect them together. On the other hand, the lever #1 appears to have had 2 studs on it and the lower stud was missing. This is the stud that I now presume the white link is supposed to be on. The upper stud of #1 is in the upper hole of #16. #16 is fine. To further confuse the situation, the white link also has 2 holes. Having never seen what the parts are supposed to look like or how they connect is why I asked for help from someone who might know. Thanks for sticking with me.Comment

Note: a lesson to learn >>
Canon parts books & manuals are very deceiving in pictures and part descriptions. This will never change, because in engineers in Japan see & describe it their way only-
good luck in your repair :)**Knowledge is time consuming, exhausting and costly for a trained Tech.**Comment
