I have a FS-608 that is jamming while tri-folding. The jam codes displayed are 72-26, 72-28, and 72-18. I have replaced the rollers in pressure rollers in the folding unit and it worked fine for a day. I have adjusted the plate to let the machine know that letter paper is being used. The skew has been corrected . Any suggestions would be great

I am also having this problem.
I found this on solutions but have not received parts yet.
Solution ID TAUS1100123EN*Solution
SD-508 tri-fold failure may occur on a newly installed unit andinclude the following symptoms:
Jamming in folding rollers
Fold inaccuracy
Bent/creased paper (see below)
Installation ofmodified tri-foldparts will help to prevent the failures.

Description
FS-526/SD-508, intermittent tri-fold problem.Jam code 72-26 is indicated, and the second fold isnot completed. An abnormal noise may also be heard
(chattering sound).
Solution
CAUSE: Failure of the finisher control board.
Note : Several tri-folds can be completed if the gate is put in the correct position by hand. When the machine jams, the solenoid can be heard chattering.
PS27 (fold detection sensor) may not change state.
SOLUTION: Reflash the machine and replace the FNSCB (p/n A11P H010 02) if necessary.

Believe me, fitting the mod parts as above will kill this fault completely. Have only had to do two on my area but both of them were causing all sorts of problems before and none after. My advice would be to take your time when fitting them, follow the fitting guide to the letter and all will be well...Comment

Sort of depends on your general level of experience. If you're reasonably handy with a screwdriver it's not too bad. It's a bit of a long job but I treated it like making flat pack furniture! Get the stacker out of the finisher and lay out and identify the mod parts and where they go. Then get busy with the screwdrivers!
On the first one i did I took pictures as I dismantled the unit. Since the mod is mostly replacement guides a few pictures helps with the re assembly process.
Best of luck with it, take it steady, take your time and it will be ok.Comment

Ummmmm
That mod kit is for the SD-508 optional saddle stitch unit which fits the FS-526 finisher. Which i have fitted more than my fair share of.
It bears no resemblance what so ever to the saddle stitch unit installed in the FS-608, which is fitted to a machine a generation earlier. I've no idea why you are ordering those parts for a FS-608 as you wont be able to do much with them.
Do you have a FS-526 + SD-508 OR do you have an FS-608?
FS-608 goes on C650 series, FS-526 goes on C652 series.
If you do have an FS-526 and have just hijacked the poor guys thread, then shame on you. PS, the mod kit works wonders.Comment

Oops you are totally correct.
Must have gotten a little excited when I saw the exact same problem with the exact same jam codes for two different accessories.
Sorry for the bad info will have to be more diligent in the future.Comment
