Paper Path Areas
The numbers in figure 4-6 identify the following paper path are as follows:
Areas 1 to 4 - The stock leaves a paper tray and is fed to the photoreceptor.
Areas 5 to 10 - The system prints an image on one side of the stock. If the job requires
2-sided printing, the system turns the page over and feeds it back to the photoreceptor.
Areas A to H - This is the interposer area. Paper travels through this area if paper is fed from trays 1, 4 or 5 and also to pass paper from area 10 (through F and H) to the finisher.
Areas 11 and 12 - If the prints are to be fed to the top tray, the system delivers the prints through the top tray slot.
Areas 13 to 16 - The prints enter the bindexer and are collated, if desired.
Areas 17 to 19 - The prints are stitched in area 17, or bound in area 18, if desired, and
placed on the stacker in area 19.

The capacity of each bin is 125 sheets of substance 20 (75 g/m2) or 0.5 inch (13 mm) thickness.
Include inserts and covers when considering the output capa city of the bindexer.
125 sheets of substance 20 (75 g/m2) is equal to approximately: 104 sheets of substance 24 (90 g/m2) 78 sheets of substance 32 (120 g/m2) 47 sheets of substance 110 (200 g/m2).
Check that the sets in the bindexer are less than 0.5 inch (13 mm) thick.
If the set exceeds 0.5 inch (13 mm) thickness, reprogram the job for fewer sheets or reduce the number of heavy-weight sheets.
When running collated, unfinished sets, the maximum sheet capacity of the bindexer can be set between 50 and 125.
When running anything other than collated, unfinished sets, the maximum sheet capacity of the bindexer will remain at 125. The capacity of the top tray is 500 sheets of substance 20 (75 g/m2) or 2 inches (51 mm) in height. When intermixed stock or paper heavier

Paper Trays & Loading Media
than substance 20 (75 g/m2) is being run, the capacity of the top tray is reduced.
500 sheets of substance 20 (75 g/m2) is equal to approximately: 415 sheets of substance 24 (90 g/m2) 310 sheets of substance 32 (120 g/m2) 225 sheets of substance 110 (200 g/m2)
If using any paper heavier than substance 20 (75 g/m2) or intermixed stock of different weights, unload the top tray before the count in the tray reaches its capacity limit.
Refer to the satisfaction guides in the "Technical information" chapter.

Paper Trays & Loading Media
Adding Inserts
For DocuSP 4.x and above:
Creating inserts differs from slip sheets in that they separate pages of a job while slip sheets separate one job from another. Inserts may also be pre-printed stock or forms.
NOTE: Inserts may not be programmed for a job with covers if the inserts affect the cover printing. For example, inserts are not allowed between pages printed on the front and back of a cover. An insert request takes precedence over an exception page request. When two or more special pages are programmed (covers, inserts, or exception pages) image ordering conflict s may occur. Make sure that programmed options do not conflict.
1. From the DocuSP screen, logon as a System Administrator. See the Related Items below for additional information.
2. Under Managers on the left, under the Job button, right-click on your job and select [Properties] from the menu.
3. Click on the [Special Pages] tab.
4. Click on the [Inserts] button, and then click on [Add Inserts] button. The Insert screen will be displayed.

/Solutions Ranked by Relevance:
Check the area where the jams are occurring to ensure that the paper path is clear of paper and other obstructions.
If a jammed sheet of paper tears when being removed, ensure that you have removed all of the sheet pieces.
Ensure that the paper path baffles are in the correct seated position.
Ensure that the stock is loaded properly in the trays, with the rear and side guides against the stack.
Check the sheets in the bottom of the paper tray for damage. If they are damaged, discard the sheets.
Ensure that the stock is not loaded above the bottom of the red line in the paper tray.
Ensure that the stock has no bent corners, or tears, and that the edges are straight.
Remove any damaged sheets.
Repeated jamming may be due to a
paper curl problem that can be resolved by adjusting the decurler lever. Refer to the procedure, "Adjusting for paper curl," in this guide.
Paper weight less than substance 20 (75 g/m2) will require careful setting
of the decurler. Refer to the procedure, "Adjusting for paper curl," in this guide.
If the misfeeds are occurring in the paper tray, ensure that the paper feeder is latched by pressing down on

Fan the stock at all four corners. Change it if it has uneven edges or if it was not drilled properly.
The stock should be kept in the original wrapper and stored correctly.
Ensure that the stock is within the limitations described in the Satisfaction
Guides in the "Paper Trays & Loading Media" chapter.
Check paper capacities for trays & bindexer are within limits. See “Paper Trays & Loading Media” Chapter.
Use proper paper storage techniques. Refer to Operator Guide.
Ensure that the stock is loaded properly in the paper trays, with the rear
and side guides against the stock stack.
If the elevator fails to rise or lower in paper tray 1 or 2, latch the paper
feeder by pressing down on the green dot inside the tray.
Do not slam the trays closed. Push the trays in slowly but firmly.
Ensure that all misfed stock has been removed from the immediate area of the paper trays.
The processor or the DocuSP controller may have an electrical problem. If the DocuSP controller has an electrical problem, it may shut off the power to the processor.
1. Determine if the DocuSP controller
power and the processor power are off. If the controller’s screen is blank and the power-indicator light is not blinking, the controller power is off. Refer to the System Guide. If the paper tray lights are out, the power to the processor is off. Proceed with step 2.
2. Determine if the processor has a
ground fault protector. If there is not a ground fault protector installed, refer to the procedure "Calling for assistance," in

3. If the processor has a ground fault
protector, determine whether the protector has shut off the power. If the red light is visible on the protector, proceed with step
4. If the red light is not visible, something
other than the protector has shut off the power. Refer to the problem "Processor power is off unexpectedly, and the ground fault protector did not trip," in this section.
4. Press the reset button on the processor
ground fault protector. If the red light switches off, proceed with step 5. If the red light does not switch off, or immediately switches on again, refer to the procedure, "Calling for assistance", in this guide.
5. Switch the white-handled circuit
breakers near the protector to the on (up) position. If the power comes on, proceed with step 6. If the circuit breakers immediately switch off again, call for assistance.
6. Select the Reset icon on the fault
frame. This should clear the fault.
7. Clear any other faults that may be
declared. Do not clear the paper path unless directed to do so. The system will maintain job integrity.
8. If the power repeatedly switches off
unexpectedly, call for assistance. Replace the tape reel with a new reel using the procedure, "Replace the Binder Tape Reel," in “Replacing Consumables”.
Refer to the binder tape reel storage information in the Operator Guide.. Adjust the binder tape registration using the procedure, "Adjust the Binder Tape Registration," in “Machine Maintenance” Chapter.
Adjust the binder tape length using the procedure entitled "Adjust the Binder Tape Registration," in “Machine Maintenance” Chapter.

Potential Solutions
/Solutions Ranked by Relevance:
If an adjustment is made to the binder tape length during a job, it will not take effect until the next job is printed. If it is necessary to adjust the binder tape length during a job, adjust it using the procedures in the on-line help. This is a symptom of excessive moisture in the tape. Replace the tape reel with a new reel using the procedure, "Replace the Binder Tape Reel," in “Replacing Consumables”.
Refer to the binder tape storage guidelines in the Operator Guide. If the binder tape is sticking together, or if there are cosmetic defects in the bound book, replace the tape reel with a new reel using the procedure, "Replace the Binder Tape Reel," in “Replacing Consumables”.
Refer to the binder tape storage information in the Operator Guide.
Refer to the binder cleaning information in the Operator Guide. Reliable stitching can be expected with up to 65 sheets of substance 20 (75 g/m2) or
0.28 inch (7 mm) thick sets. Less reliable
stitching can be expected with over 70 sheets of substance 20 (75 g/m2).
Running intermixed stock heavier than substance 20 (75 g/m2) will reduce the capacity of the stitcher.
To avoid short clinches, use the stitch override only when using a lightweight paper. Stitch override allows the system to run beyond the stitching limit. The system will shut down at 125 sheets.
Reduce the stock weight to enable the stitching of more sheets per set.
Refer to the satisfaction guides in the "Technical information" chapter.

5. On the upper right side of the opening, locate the label for area 19.
6. About 76 mm (3 inches) down from the label and all the way to the right of the opening you should see three wires (red, orange and brown) leading to a black plastic block mounted on a met al bracket. The plastic block, with small white letters on it, is the detector.
7. Clean the surface under the white letters with the folded piece of paper from Step 1.
8. On a horizontal line 254 mm (10 inches) left of the Q1227 detector, look under a 127 mm (5 inches) long black metal bracket for a round bulb-like object about 10 mm (3/8 inches) in diameter. This is the Q1227 Sensor and should be cleaned as well with a soft cloth.
Q1218 Rear Stack Height Sensor:
9. Stand in front of the stacker drawer. Along the right side of the area you exposed when you opened the Finisher Top Cover, approximately 356 mm (14 inches) back from the front of the machine, look for a yellow ground strap. The ground strap is bolted to the right hand side of the machine frame.
10. Carefully duck your head under the Finisher Top Cover so you can look into the Finisher, and the area next to the ground strap.
