This machine will go 6 weeks or so with very little jamming. If I arrive early in the jamming cycle there will be intermittent J86 jams. Five pages in the machine, two of which pile up at the punch. One page exiting the fuser, one page exiting the duplex drawer to the left, and one page in the vertical path from tray #1 (or #2, doesn't matter). The finisher drive never runs.
After a while the jam code changes to J63. Same five pages in the machine, two of which pile up at the punch. At this point no paper will pass. Machine sensors test fine in service mode. All finisher sensors are unresponsive.
I did an exploratory, taking this finisher 1/2 way to the frame. There was no light-bulb moment, at least not yet.
Then I remembered what I did the last time. Power Off/On, and away it goes. 1000+ without a jam.
So what does this point to? I've tried various levels of firmware, and re-loading the most current. I'm wondering if the finisher is losing communication with the machine, but not logging any errors. Maybe a finisher controller?
Anybody seen this? =^..^=
