Description: Finisher upper stapler failure Occurs when stapler-alignment-interference sensor (PI46) is activated, signaling that the stapler unit is not in its proper position for stapling to occur. This is to prevent damage to stapler from occurring when stapler is positioned over one of the three stoppers when the signal to staple has been sent.
Remedy: Control-panel diagnostics: none 1. If the stapler unit does not move properly or moves erratically, check the flat-flexible cable (FFC) for damage (dents, folds, and/or tears). Replace the FFC if necessary. 2. If the stacker controller PCA was recently replaced, use the steps in this manual to adjust the staple alignment and staple position. 3. If the stapler is not positioned over a stopper when this error occurs, perform the following steps. • Make sure that the stapler unit is correctly mounted and securely fastened to the base. • Make sure that the sensor is not obstructed or damaged. Verify that the sensor flag is not damaged, moves freely, and is correctly aligned with the sensor body. • If the error persists, replace the stapler subassembly. NOTE: The stapler subassembly includes the stapler unit and base.

Description: Finisher error - 1st-tray lift/lower motor (M37) Occurs when the output-bin 1 does not activate the home-position sensor (PI41) when the output-bin-1-shift motor (M37) is driven for 20 seconds. Also occurs when output-bin 1 does not move when output-bin-1-shift motor (M37) is driven for 4 seconds. Also occurs when the output-bin-1 switch (MSW33) is activated while output-bin 1 is operating. NOTE: Output-bin-1 home position is detected using the top sheet of paper on the bin when paper is present and the edge of the bin itself when there is no paper on the bin.
Remedy: Control-panel diagnostics: M37 tray 1 (output-bin 1 motor) NOTE: M37 moves both output bin 1 and the upper output bin that is attached to output bin 1 on the stapler stacker finisher, but only output bin 1 on the booklet maker finisher. 1. Manually release output bin 1, and position it at the mid point of its travel area. Test the output-bin-1-shift motor M37 by using the finisher component test from the control-panel display. • If output bin 1 moves during the test, perform the following steps. • If the paper-surface sensor flag was recently removed or replaced, make sure that it is installed correctly. NOTE: The four tabs under the clips must be inserted into the slots behind the roller shaft of the lower stackejection roller. • Verify that the paper-surface sensor flag is not damaged, moves freely, and is correctly aligned with the PI41 sensor body. Also verify that when the top edge of the output bin engages the sensor arm that the sensor flag moves into sensor PI41. • Make sure that the sensor is securely fastened to the chassis. • Carefully clean the sensor body by gently blowing clean air across the sensor to remove dust and debris. • Verify that intermediate connector J1040 and J721 on the stacker controller PCA are fully seated and not damaged.
