There's an arm on the opposite side of where the damage is on your belt. It's underneath the fuser assembly and the belt needs to run up against this arm. The arm is part of the belt position sensor. The belt moves around slightly back and forth on the rollers and the sensor makes sure it...

This is only true if you NEVER run coated stock and only run uncoated stock. There is still an issue with the 2nd BTR when duplexing coated stock, it's a fact and there isn't a solution to get a decent life out of the 2nd BTR. In the last 3 years the longest the 2nd BTR has lasted in my Versant...

The cables that you tried are short enough to have worked. It sounds like you already attempted to install the usb driver software on your Windows computer. When you connected your Duplo to the PC you should have received a message about found new hardware and this is when you would’ve installed...

Make sure you're using a short usb cable. The Duplo can be very picky about the cable quality and length.

The Versant 80 wasn't meant for that kind of volume. From the CED based on 8½x11/A4 . . . "The press is designed to operate in the range of 25,000 – 80,000 prints per month. At an average usage of 43,000 prints per month using centerline paper, it is expected that service will be required about...

Nice! I have the opposite problem. I have plenty of sheets to run on the Versant 280 but I want a roll to roll like your VP700. The problem is I don't have the volume yet and have been told that the MemJet heads will be a problem if I don't keep ink running through them daily. I'm not sold on...

I think someone else on this forum had a similar issue, but it wasn’t a dull blade. One of the blades jumped the guide that holds it up against the other blade and was not trimming neatly. You may want to look at your blade holder and make sure the upper and lower blades are in contact with each...

From the Printweek article . . . "He added: “Our dedication to the production print market remains unchanged and we expect the rationalisation of our offering to improve our differentiation and distinctiveness in this important market. And this means what?

I see why you’d be frustrated with the service on your 80 and need a backup. I disagree with your engineer about needing to run 5,000 a day. The recommended monthly volume on the 80 is up to 80,000 per month, 5,000 per day would put you in the category of needing service more often not less...

I’m not sure what is meant by “not using it enough”. It’s not necessary to run the Versant 80 all day every day. If it’s an environmental situation like excessively high or low humidity/temperature then it would be easier to control the environment where the press is than to buy and...

I only use pre-collated NCR so I don’t have experience with this issue. I do run sheets back through for some booklet work and I don’t have a delay between trays 6 & 7. I set both trays for the same stock weight like you’re doing, no matter what they are and don’t have any delay. I run 3 part...

That's a relief and good to know. Thanks!

Machine is worn out at 1 million sheets? Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but if true, this is a terrible life expectancy for the price tag on them. At just under $30,000 for a new DC-618 that would put the price per sheet at $.03. I already have a DC-618 so I hope this is not the case.

I use a similar ionizing fan and it works well. I've only needed to use it a few times on the Duplo but it works great on text stock coming off my Rollem after scoring. Great thing about these is that you can move them around to where you need it. Try it at your feed table on the Duplo or at the...

If you're not sure about the fuser belt or slip sheet you could pull the fuser and inspect it. When you put the belt back on reverse it to see if the marks transfer to the other side. Versant fuser rebuild.

The legislators would act quickly if the big guys that print all the election ballots let all the board of elections offices know that they will be printing all election ballots without the use of inks that contain carbon black. This would put everyone in a panic, quickly!

This is interesting news. I thought it was odd that Eastern Managed Print Network (owned by Xerox) once sold and serviced KM machines alongside Xerox machines. Sure looks like Fuji has every intention of taking over what Xerox once was very profitable at. Once Fuji figures out the service end...

If the 551 is the same as my EBA 550, then try this. When your blade and clamp are returning to upper home position, push in the check valve knob. It should be right under your pressure regulator knob on the left side of cutter. The blade will stop returning to upper home position and the clamp...

Easiest would be to look at the magnetic roller on your developer unit. A area that shows a void would indicate a blockage someplace in that area in the developer unit. The other area to look at is your ROS window. If toner dust accumulates on the window it will cause a faded area down the...

There really isn’t any heat involved with your printing process now but as soon as you open a ream of paper it’s going to react to the changing environment. I don’t see much curl in what you’ve done so unless you can control your indoor humidity you may have to settle for letting the sheets sit...
