Re: bizhub c363 with a c1194

We have an FS529 with this problem also, it is intermittent and only seems to happen on 2 position stapling, 1 position is fine. The machine will run for 5/6 copies then error. Has anyone had a similar issue and did you find a resolution?

We don't seem to be able to find any TiB's relating to this, therefore if anyone has any we'd appreciate it.

Many Thanks

the alignment section on this finisher (FS-529) is notorious for binding up, as per my last post - since then ive done 4 more - the grease on the alignment paddle shaft and frame is rubbish and turns to glue.

you will need to watch the operation - if you can see the side paddles or back stops struggling to move or obstructing the operation of the stapler, well this is your problem.

there is no way around it other than total disassembly from the top down* to remove the alignment section washing out all of the old grease and relubricating it. I've had great success using plasgard grease as it doesnt seem to dry up and all of the ones ive done so far have returned to trouble free service. If it is a first version finisher, i recommend installing all of the jam modification parts at the same time along with the modified lower intake guide with the plastic step that aligns with the black cube on the intake paper stiffening mylar (instead of installing the small mylar under it on 1st verstion guides)

Its expensive but it wont jam anymore, and the stapler and paddles will work (unless i eventually find a better grease)

***If your a dealer its probably easier to throw it in the bin and buy a new finisher, because the buy price for the parts mentioned above + labor will be more than the finisher is worth. And im pretty sure that's deliberate.

*This should not be done in the field as you need a lot of time and space.
