TROUBLESHOOTING
Feeding, bursting, and stacking problems are usually
due to improper adjustment of machine to forms of
due to a non-standard or defective form.
Most problems fall into one of three categories,
Electrical, Mechanical, or Form Flow. Electrical
troubles are USUALLY obvious because machine will
not run or respond in a normal manner to its controls.
Mechanical problems are usually accompanied
by noise, slippage, tearing, or binds. If a form flow
problem is present, jamming, mis-stacking, or
intermittent form damage will occur. Problem should
be diagnosed to one of three categories, before
proceeding to pinpoint problem. Best approach is a
logical elimination of possible malfunctions.
