Just looking to find out if its possible. customer uses the 7570 to replace their 8000 since they also have a color kip. they bought it used without a catch tray. I have tried to see if it would recognize it but it was a long shot and didnt work.. just wondering if theres something I missed or just not possible.
Thanks.

Hey Augie, Yes, you can get an old 1200 Stacker to work on a new 7570 but it may be too much work and parts to be worth it. First you need to check the serial # of the stacker. If it’s below 05401022 you will need to order a new control board for the stacker. Then the new 7570 should have come with a stacker accessories box that included 2 riser parts that puts the stacker up higher. You need to check this bulletin: TB-1200-07 and look at the latest 1200 installation manual.

Thanks, the stacker adjusts in hieght to the right level as ive tried it already but the two devices are no comunicating so I assumed it was some sort of software or firmware if not hardware issue.

so the serial number of the stacker is higher than the one mentioned but I noticed the dip switches were all off and there is the 8000/9000 eprom installed. I tried flipping the #1 dip switch and testing with and without the eprom installed after installing the sensors and turning on the stacker on the 7570 and I just get a stacker communication error regardless.

You may need to look at the Installation documentation for a new 1200 stacker; KIP+1200+-+KIP+75-79-7170K-7770K-7970K+Install+Manual+ver+F_5c1
When you connect it to a 7170 or 75 Series printer you enable the stacker in the printer service mode, not the system service GUI. BUD #00061 will enable an option device.
