    Bizhub c454e ADF 4x6 stack scan // Getting stretched section on 1 of 4 prints or so

    Hi all,

    Doing a favor for my mother in law. Has TONS of 4x6 glossy lab photos. Just old family stuff. I've been running them through the ADF on my Bizhub c454e. I've had great success with this in the past, but maybe I got lucky?

    The photos come out with a little "dogleg" and a "stretch" area. They seem fine fed one at a time. But when it's a stack, it goes ... wonky. Askew. Not right.

    Example:

    I'd love to just slow the ADF down or increase the "eject" spacing etc. But, that may not be possible. Hate to feed through one at a time, but I can do that if needed.

    If it's impossible, I get it. But was hoping it was something I could adjust. I have a thousand or so photos.

    Lemme know and thanks so much for this site.

    The only way this could possibly work is SEF (short edge feed), and with photos, yes you will have separation issues. The smallest acceptable original size per specifications is 4.92" x 6.93".

    You have three factors making this difficult:
    *The originals are under-sized (so they must transport between rollers too far apart for that size)
    *They are photos (the media is very rigid, and will not want to buckle properly)
    *They are photos (they have a coating on the surface which will make them want to multifeed, or slip against the rollers)

    Given my experience with these DF's, I'd say that your odds of successfully feeding this media are very poor. If you can get single photos to feed successfully, that is your best chance of success. =^..^=
    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.
