Can U help? Installing an SFN-4 to a DC-242 - flap 1A

[steveclv]

So I am installing an SFN-4 to a DC-242 both used equipment.

Flap 1A in the finisher I am told on the DC242 has to be to the left but as I move it to the left to attach to the magnet, it's held back by a tang on the rear that prevents it going back and the sprint pressure of not having the rear seated correctly is making it jump off the magnet and swing - causing a fault on the 242.

I can post a photo if that helps but anyone know how 1A is meant to be located?

Thanks a million

I have no idea what a SFN-4 is but..

It's most likely bent. Very common problem after being shipped.

You can bend tab 1a slightly to make good contact with the magnet, but make sure the rollers all make even contact with each other afterwords. You may have to remove it to bend it back strait, otherwise the paper will feed crooked or will jam.

Good Luck..
