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.
