Is it every book now? Maybe try a bunch with no staple just to eliminate them. Try leaving the rear jog loose so there is NO pressure against the front stopper first.

So when the book gets stapled the stopper drops down and the pusher on the center belt advances the book forward. When this happens what happens to the book is it crunched or does it just sit there till another crashes into it? What size sheet and how many pages>

Welcome to insanity. Look at the stitch head stopper fingers. Is it broken? Or is it sluggish when dropping out of the way? If it gets warm and sluggish it will delay the book movement and cause a false jam.

shear bolts were always a issue.

Not sure what your cutter cycle count is but the blade unit and motor assy are one unit now. If the blade is worn the gear driven motor is not far behind so everything gets replaced. Seldom the sensors go bad.

Go to about 8" then hold the forward key. BG should move in very slow mode as it doesnt know where it is. Then about 5" it should preset. If you have the book do the 55 master reset.It wipes out your programs but it gets you running again

Are you in the USA? Do you have a photo or part number? I know they updated some of the sensors with different sensor kits as the sensor was discontinued.

Swingline actually makes them for everyone from what I heard. And duplo no longer supports the 120 booklet maker

Duplo has discontinued the 5000 booklet maker so your 1 part out of the junk pile. The DBM600 and the 10/60 tower with the envelope kit will do what you need. problem is when you feed envelopes they want to feed with the sheets and then get cut up with trimming.

so i have a old model 20 cutter that wont cycle when the buttons are pressed. but when the clamp drifts down the pump will power it back up but again wont cycle. its ready for the trash if we cant fix it. no help from challenge as its too old but it has the same pump system as the titans.

service is always a big concern. lots of machines you cant get parts anymore.

download the cd onto a thumb drive and then onto the laptop. Dont go too far in versions as you will then need to upgrade the software in the machine. Stick to the basics. Most times the update changes little things you'd never have a issue with.

FYI the board and motor are very expensive. I dont get why it stops/ starts like it does. switching the motors is just the 3 cable assemblies. you dont need to switch the actual motor just yet. when you stop it the motor does run for a bit if i remember its not a instant stop.

ya thats odd that quick reversal

that error looks like a motor error for either the creaser bar or drive belts. Check the pullies for a loose set screw or missing teeth in the cog belt. With the covers off the fold blades should function back n forth smoothly. Leave them out of place and make sure they return home upon start...
