Thanks tips. I read the manual and checked all that sensors, motor, and board are all good. The Tech even replaced all the board and motor with working ones and changes sensors.

Is your firmware as recent as possible? The error is basically describing the sensor is having some hanging issues, either in activation or deactivation. Did your tech test sensor responsiveness? Is the harness for the staple motor pinched anywhere? Has the copier PWB been replaced or just the finisher?

Re: ARM700 F1-31 Code

Firmware up to date. The motor ended up blowing out the board. So we ordered a new board. When I took a look at it i noticed there was a gear moving funny took it off and long behold it was stripped a little bit. Finisher working good now. Thanks a lot.
