Toshiba e-studio 6530c saddle stitcher problem

[reprotech]

I'm putting a job through the 6530c and it needs to be saddle-stitched. It's three sheets of A3 100gsm double-sided fold to A4.

The saddle-stitcher is the MJ-1104 and the staples are in the right place but the fold keeps moving from the centre of the page spread, making the front half of the booklet about 2mm shorter than the back half. This results in part of the front page encroaching onto the back page via the spine.

I have tried other types of paper and it still does the same thing even on A4 fold to A5.

Has anyone come across this type of problem before? Is there a way of stopping this movement?

Not absolutely sure about this model, but most toshiba finishers have DIP switches that can adjust the stack hight relative to the folding plate.
The saddle stitch happens first, then drops the stack to the folder. If the staples are in the right place, then you probably just need to nudge the stack up or down a bit in the folding unit.
Its complicated. There's not really any diagnostics in the finisher. Get a service manual for it, there is a procedure to adjust this.

My favorite copier!

Is this a Print job or a copy job?

If a print job there are a few settings to play with. Is this via PCl6 or PSL3 driver?

In North American terns, you have three pieces of Ledger 11 x 17" paper and you want to output onto Letter 8.5 x 11" paper.

Did you select from the Print Diver, Finishing, 2 Sided Printing, Third Icon, Details, LT on LD.

I agree with randandrawson... it's probably the DIP switches. You'll need the 1104 service manual to adjust the fold location.
