    [Jamming] ProC901 Jam 036 300g stock

    Good morning, people.

    I'm having these odd "jams" on the C901. And I say "jams" in between quotation marks because the paper doesn't jam, but it stops for a moment before heading for the purge bucket.

    So the machine can make about 30 sheets of paper in a row before jamming. But when it jams, I can no longer make another sheet, because it will keep on jamming.

    The machine will have 4 sheets jammed when I open it up, in this order:

    1st sheet: Purge bucket with both sides printed
    2nd sheet: On the right side of the duplexing unit
    3rd sheet: Reverse unit
    4th sheet: Just between the paper feed tray's rollers

    With the door open, I can observe the 1st sheet stopping at the registration gate for a longer time than usual before heading to the purge bucket.

    I've tried swapping sensors around the registration unit, adjusting the paper feed's paper height and even tried a completely different registration unit from a different machine.

    Finally, one last bit of a perhaps important information: the paper the customer is using is unusual in that it is coated on one side and plain on the other. I don't really know if it can explain this problem, but the fact that the machine can make a handfull of copies before starting to jam leads me to believe that it should be able to (and the fact that the customer already used this paper in the past without any problem, and keeps using it on another different brand machine).

    Thanks!

    Check jam code on SMC, probably double sheet feed being activated by paper type, you can try turning dsf sensor off.

        Thank you both for your replies.

        I should've mentioned that one of the first things I did was to disable auto image shift and double feed detection.

        As for the paper type, according to the customer the paper is in the paper catalog (Olliwhite), but I tried both the paper catalog and defining the paper manually, as well as altering the machine SPs to slow down the process, with no results.

            Yep, check the jam code, it's the only way your going to pinpoint it. Sooooo...that said, what is the jam code?
