Feed Problems

Problem

Intermittent Feed

Reason:

Material prop not used.

Solution:

The material prop adds a gentle slope to

 

the stack and helps feeding. If you're using

 

the prop, check the H-Block gap for

 

proper separation. Also make sure the

 

wire frame is centered under the material.

 

(See pages 3-8 and 3-12.)

Reason:

Dirty feed rollers.

Solution:

Clean the feed roller with denatured

 

alcohol. DO NOT use any other solvents or

 

detergents. They could damage the feed

 

rollers.

Reason:

Paper dust present (yellow or white

 

residue), blocking feed sensor.

Solution:

Clean sensor with compressed air (see

 

page 5-3).

 

 

Problem

Reason:

Separators (H-blocks) not set correctly.

 

Also feed fence set incorrectly.

Solution:
