5052ci preprinted perforated paper

[craigster]

Looking for some input. I have a customer that runs preprinted perforated only in this machine. problem is it will jam a couple times in a run of 2500 sheets. Machine has all updated parts for feeding issue and when I run white 20lb bond its fine. I realize the track record for this model is not the best and I do not think 2 jams should not be a big deal but customer is not having it. the preprinted paper is 20lb so I changed media setting to preprinted and does not change the outcome, even increased the weight a bit to see if it helps. Wondering if anybody has a better idea for this issue.
unfortunately there is no setting for perforated.

Thanks

Same jam location each time? Maybe try sep spring pressure adj depending on jam code.

It may work better if you went to a heavy 1 setting and try it, the perforations may be slowing the paper

if it's just 2 jams in 2500 sheets. it is possible part of the perforated edge it sticking up and catching in the paper path? or is it just the paper itself that jams? haven't messed with kyocera in a good while., this machine was designed to handle perforated paper? i don't know of any copier that works well with perforated paper. though there are several brands out there i have never touched before.

I forgot to try the sep adjustment might help.

It's probably not that it's pre-printed, it's that it's pre-perforated. Perforated paper does not buckle nicely. It folds on the perforation then rips when the buckle is taken up. AFAIK there isn't anything that you can do about that. Maybe you can change the orientation so the perforation runs in the feed direction? =^..^=
