SR4000 booklet jams

[anka monki]

Has anyone seen these finishers jam when doing A3 booklets. They should be able to do up to 15 sheets but tend to jam when more than 10 or so. The stack doesnt want to go round the top gate. Any fixes or mods ?

Re: SR4000 booklet jams

whats the thickness on the paper? I have tryed 120g paper with no paperjam. Our clients manage to make 160g paper without any jams, but drums get worn off really fast for them.

Hi There

I've the same problem, if you have 8 sheets of 80gsm, all ok try 10 and it jams at that top gate, it seems to stall, trying to feed the paper around the top. I have 3 machines, all MP6001's that do it.

There must be a mod or something surely.......

Re: SR4000 booklet jams

have since worked out that if there is a slight paper curl on the lead edge out of the staple tray, if the curl runs away from the gate problem is worse - turn paper over in tray (A3) and so curl goes other way and problem not so bad. As for mods there are two springs either side of the top gate and by stretching spring a bit and rehooking on (more spring tension) problem is not so bad. The best fix is to tell operator that ten sheets is the limit. I havnt messed with any finisher sp parameters, maybe theres an answer there
