Printronix P5000 Printer Technical Note 5-0045 Rev A

Introducing the P5000 Phase III SureStak Power Stacker

Summary: 

Around November 2002, a new power stacker design was introduced with features to address
ease of use, reliability and serviceability. It is referred to as the Phase III SureStak Power
Stacker.

Resolution:

The table below identifies the problems that existed with the Phase I and Phase II Power
Stackers and shows the enhancements that were designed into the Phase III Power Stacker to
address these concerns.

Limit Switches bend causing “chattering”

Replaced with Reed Switches p/n 204234-001

Timing Belt slips

Added Timing Belt Tensioner p/n 173818-001

Difficult to access paper supply/stack Added Thumb Switch, Paper Tray, Paper Tent
Difficult access to Paper Tent handle Added Slide-out Tray and ”handled” Paper Tent
Frame misalignment due to use/service Frame, Rail, Frame Bearing and Base more robust
Rear Control Panel hard to service Control panel housing modified for easier removal
Print Compression problems New Friction Washers and Compression Spring

Important Note

To ensure the best print quality when using the PIII Stacker, optimized step tables are available for CMX/CFX-based printers.

The minimum Flash software to use is 359517-001 – LP+/PGL/VGL, V3.14F.

PPC PSA3 Printers have no minimum software requirement.
