11.3 Clearing Paper Jams
If paper jams occur, they can usually be cleared by using the jog function or jam clearance
lever. The jog function operates the machine in short spurts to drive out the jammed docu-
ment in a controlled manner. If the jam cannot be driven out by using the function on its
own, the jam clearance lever can inserted in a hole in the top front roller to rotate the seal
rollers manually.
Jog function
The function will only be available if the machine has stopped with a fault showing on the
display panel - a fault number will alternate with a scrolling message describing the error.
Now press the Run button
and you will be asked if you wish to use the jog function. To
jog forward, press the Run button again, and the machine will jog. To jog backwards press
the Calibration button
. This can be repeated as required until the Stop button
is
pressed, which will clear the jog function, and also the fault message. Assuming the cause
of the fault has now been removed, operation can continue by pressing the Run button.
Jam clearance lever
To use the jam clearance lever, unlatch the front cover and lower it; the lever is stored in
clips in the base of the machine. Insert the lever in the hole in the roller to rotate the roller
set and drive out the jam.
Jams are most likely to take place in the infeed or fold roller areas, or in the fold plates.
Raise fold plate 1, and if the paper is visible and the jam is obvious, remove the paper if
possible. If it cannot be dislodged from the rollers, close the fold plate and operate the jog
function as above. Jams occurring in fold plate 2 can be cleared by lifting the upper or both
parts of the plate to gain access.
If the jam is internal (ie. in the sealer rollers), the jog function may have to be operated
quite a few times to clear the paper. If all attempts to remove the paper fail, contact the
Service Department.
