Isn't this applicable for one of the larger saddle-stitch finishers and not for the FS-607, which came with the basic config for this machine? I can't remember seeing a solenoid like this inside the finisher.

The finisher issue popped up once more today while printing one of the alignment pages, but the new rollers haven't arrived yet, so I can't rule out anything for now. We'll have to wait and see.

Thank you for your help.

The pic I posted is of one of our FS-607 finishers, if you take the top cover off you'll see it inside siting on top of the paper exit slide stay towards the back side - if you look on P 9 of the parts manual it's labelled SD4 part 10.
The solenoid operates the finger plate which you can just about see in your original pic just below your red box and goes in-between the rollers, it drops down enabling the paper to contact the rollers as the paper passes through.
If the rollers don't resolve the problem, just check the idler shafts I mentioned, these are on page P11 of the parts manual labelled 18/19 - in our case these were preventing the slide assay from lowering far enough.
FYI you mentioned the foam roller on the far left not having any foam, we've had 5 of these type of finishers and I don't think any have had foam on that roller either.

Gutted for you on the LU202, I can't imagine that being an easy fix winding all that lot back together and getting it balanced, good luck!
And sorry to hear the chart adjustment didn't work for you...

See you around

Mark, you were spot on; it was that solenoid. I opened up the finisher and I found that the stopper was bent inwards in order to get the proper clearance, as the manual suggests. The solenoid position couldn't be adjusted any further, hence why someone before me had to do with bending the stopper. I bent it just a little bit more and it seems to work for now.


Although when the solenoid is energized with 72-45 seems to actuate property, I'm guessing that it's not good enough and it could mean that it's failing. I'll keep an eye on it, and replaced it down the road if it happens again

Thank you very much for your insight.
