    SP 1011 has a number of settings for when starting from a cold state and warm state. I would try changing SP 1011-007 Rotation Time:Cold. Default is 2 seconds.

      Is the machine standing in good conditions?
      Is the fluctuation of room-temperature significant?
      which paper brand are they ussing?
      Do they use thick paper without selecting it?

        Thanks for this, Tim.
        I have a similar issue that I posted about a couple of months ago.

        It jams on the first page every morning without fail, and then runs all day without an issue.
        I was advised that it was probably the grease on the fuser sleeve that's gotten sticky and needs a little extra time to warm up and get 'soft', and so the sleeve doesn't turn properly on the first page until it heats up a little more, which makes sense. The machine/ fuser is otherwise in perfect working condition. They're a time and materials customer, so they decided to live with it for now. I was looking for a setting for fuser idling myself, but never found it.
        This sounds promising. I'll try it the next time I'm in their area.

            I have had the same fault a few times
            i found removing the fuser belt applying a smear of fuser oil to the strip that sits underneath the belt, clean the underside of the belt, clean and lube bushings
            rebuild often works

              i know it's a odd, but to know if the problem is caused by fluctuating temperatures (=moisture), try this:
              After you put on the machine in the morning, open the right cover for about 1 minute.
              Close it... Still the same problem?
              I know it sounds not serious, but it is!
