How about SD 506?

[hitye]

Hi all, I'm just a newbie in this bbs.
I'm in new zealand and have a Bizhub C6500. Now I just want to upgrade to C7000. But I'm not sure whether the SD 506 is very useful. I don't know whether it is strong enough to handel more booklet works. I did a testing on a new machine and the result was good. But I would like to have more experience from sb. who use this part for a long time.
thank you very much!

I have the sd506 on a c6501. It seems to work well. It can handle just about any paper combo and any number of pages you would put in a saddle stitched book. I have had a few issues with the trimmer portion of it that my tech struggled with for a while but we seem to have most of it straightened out. I was told they have updated the trimmer portion since I got mine so they probably fixed most of those issues. The biggest problem is the output tray doesn't hold a lot but we took the catch off the end and let books pile up on the floor and can run for 2-3 hours unattended.
