Konica Minolta C1183 — Finisher tray drive error
Applies to: bizhub with FS-series finishers
What this error means
The finisher's moving output tray couldn't travel — and the first check is pure office comedy: something (usually a stack of paper, occasionally a coffee mug) is blocking the tray's up/down path.
Symptoms
- Error during finishing jobs
- Stuff parked on/under the finisher tray
Try this first (safe DIY steps)
- Clear everything on, under, and around the finisher output tray's travel path
- Power cycle
Safety: power off before any physical intervention. Never bypass covers or interlocks — fuser areas run hot enough to burn.
When to call a technician
Recurring with clear travel — elevate motor/sensor service.
