Can you remove finisher from C3851FS and install tray from C3851

[printajsifajl]

Customer's C3851FS is making noises. They don't need the stapling function. Is it possible to remove finisher and install output tray from nonFS 3851?

I read somewhere that disabling finisher is possible. Would that make device basically same as with c3851 non fs tray?

I don't think output tray is the same but not 100% sure. The FS paper exits the front and the 3351 paper exits like most Bizhubs from side.

you can disable the finisher.in parts isolation. but i think it will still issue a erratic jam code.

I believe it is not possible to physically remove these finishers.

You can remove not sure about tray.

I've isolated the finisher on a few of these, the machine works fine with it isolated. The paper comes out the same as it would on a regular non-FS machine.

Thanks KMFLT3CH.

How do you isolate the finisher? I checked the service manual. Don't know where to look.

I found something in the manual. It talks about the function. Does the finisher have to give a service code before you have the option of putting it in isolation? Not sure on this one.

Service mode -> System 1 -> Problem Unit Isolation -> Set Finisher -> Apply -> Reboot

That's the customer-accessible way of disabling it, but it doesn't always work.

I never understood why they invented such a complex finisher for a machine that doesn't need one. Half of them broke down within a year.

Thank you sir. Yeah that finisher is a piece of crap.
