Xerox B9136

[Wjameson]

Brand new Xerox B9136 installed a week ago, constant jamming at various points through out machine, system errors etc requiring re-boots Has done 116000 sheets in 7 days - could this be too much for it to handle?

Jam code?
Error code?

116000 pages in 7 days?

HELL YES it's being over worked...

what are the expected duty cycles?

Re: Xerox B9136

116000 pages in 7 days is OK for this machine.

so 500,000 a month is within specs?

Re: Xerox B9136

Up to 800.000

Re: Xerox B9136

Up to 800.000

a month? so about 10mil a year?

a month? so about 10mil a year?

The duty cycle is 2,000,000 per month. (Duty cycle of course is a "peak" and not expect to be every month.)

However the recommended amount for EVERY month is between 70,000 - 800,000, anyway, so yes, they are more than totally fine with that volume.

Re: Xerox B9136

My consensus on being a xerox tech for 27 years is never buy a brand new model machine until it has at least been out a year. Firmware is the usual first issue.

Re: Xerox B9136

The B9000 series and the C70 are both made by Fuji Xerox, but they're not really based on each other... The B9000 series is an evolution of their mid-level B&W production family... 4110->4127->D136->B9136. The C70 is a color machine, and would be one notch below the B9000 series, in terms of workhorse-ness. The C75/J75 or V80/V180 would be more aligned as the color equivalent in terms of product positioning.

They aren't engineered in isolation, of course. There are clear shared technologies, particularly in their paper feeding and accessories. But I think when you said C70 you maybe meant D136...? haha That would be exactly true, that the B9136 is directly based on the tried and true D136.

Not that it matters functionally, but I sure hate their design aesthetic lately, though... Kind of like the depth of their thought process was, "_This_ was blue on the last model, let's make _that_ blue on the new model. That'll look classy, right?"

And of course there have been a couple "Screw it, just make everything blue!" models. *sigh*
