    What is the purpose of this black film on bizhub 227?

    Hi, for years I have been installing bizhub 227 and I have never understood where to put this. And above all, what is it for?

    Maybe in user's guide holder at the back of machine. To prevent paper from falling.
    A tree is known by its fruit, a man by his deeds. A good deed is never lost, he who sows courtesy, reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love.
    Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves, for they shall never cease to be amused.

      Looks like an ADF anti pinch guard that goes on the feeder hinge to cover the hazardous area.
      Without a reference for size that's my guess.
      We know a thing or two because we've seen a thing or two.
      The medication helps though...

          I need a size reference to give a better guess

            This is very good call however I think this blank label is way too small and white colored.

            Anyway, Bix I'm constantly amazed how good are you at crafting such a good topics.
            I'm eager for next one

              Now that you say that, it clicked and you are correct, that label I pictured would be white and not black like the one Bix showed. It was just a quick look on here at lunch time, so the brain was running in neutral at that point.

                When i first time see 227 i was wondering where to install this and on later machines just put it in the DK

                Ps:i think it should go on the back metal cover on the machine.

                  It's not one of those "flaps" that hide the ADF hinge is it?

                    sorry, here across the great pond that could be the size of a postal stamp or an elephant. we dont know.
                    you should have seen when they tried to sell gas by the liter here 40 years ago, people lost their friggin mind!

                    where was it when you unboxed the machine? is there nito tape on it?is it rubber? vinyl? paper? was it in a sleeve or maybe just packing material?
                    its not in the install guide for the machine or the feeder.

                      I find this in every new installation of bizhub 227. In the installation manual there is no reference to what this is.
                      The dimensions are 220x225. Inside me I have this curiosity every time and must understand what it is hahah

                        Any adhesive on it anywhere? I don't do machine setup, so I've never personally seen what a 227 comes with, and I'd have to wait until the end of the weekend to see if any of the guys in the office doing setup has a clue.

                        With something that size, all I could even imagine was maybe something you'd stick to the underside of the scanner assembly in the output area to prevent paper from catching on something under there.

                        You've got my interest peaked now!

                            Honestly it looks like a great thing to cover the drum while it's out of the machine!
