Tape Feeding Problems

Description Possible Causes Solution

Tape jamming in the

feeder Adhesive is left on the leading

edge of the new tap roll, or the

leading edge of the tape is rolled

or folded under the tape roller.

1. Lift the feed cover.

2. Select Unload Tape from the screen. The

system backs the tape out of the tape slot.

NOTE: If the system fails to back the tape

out of the slot, gently pull the tape out of the

slot.

3. Cut off the portion of the tape that is rolled

over or crimped. Make sure the leading

edge of the tape is completely covered with

the protective backing and that you have a

clean straight cut.

4. Put the tape back in so that it feeds from

the bottom of the roll to the right. 

NOTE: The protective backing on the tape

should be facing down.

5. Pull about 12 inches of tape from the end of

the roll up toward the cover and then loop it

down into the slot. Feed the tape back into

the tape slot.

6. From the "Out of Tape" screen, select

Press Tape to feed tape to feed the tape

through the machine. The machine auto-

matically cuts off the excess tape.

7. Close the feed cover.

8. If this problem persists, call the Help Desk.
