9. PROBLEM SOLVING
A. Common Problems:
Problem Probable Cause
No power, No
Operation Power cord not attached to back of machine or
not properly plugged into the wall.
Power On/Off Switch not activated
Close Door/Close
Tray/Close Cover
message appears Ensure that the doors and cover are properly
closed and latched. Press the door or cover
firmly into place. If message appears
repeatedly, adjust the Interlock flag.
Twin-Loop wire
jamming
repeatedly
Avoid damage to the spool by taking care
during storage and loading.
Remove the excess wire and re-feed wire into
the element feed module. Follow the
installation instructions in Section 4.
If necessary, remove a length of wire from the
spool and reinstall the spool.
Sheets jamming
repeatedly on the
Stacking area
(Area 2)
J202, J203, J244
Confirm that an appropriate BINDER G1 die is
installed on the PUNCH G2. Using an unbound
sheet, confirm the punched hole accuracy
using the guidelines in Section 9 C-D. If the
accuracy of the punched holes is not in spec,
make adjustments to the PUNCH G2 alignment
settings. If problem persists, see Section 9 E
Wire jamming in
feeder. (Area 3a)
J361
J361 jams on the BINDER G1 may be caused
by dust on the film cover on the element sensor
(S22). Clean the film by wiping a dry cloth
across the film covering the element sensor
shown below.
J361 jams can also be caused by the wire end
being positioned incorrectly when installing a
spool. Refer to Section 7 B step 16.
Broken carrier
paper
Broken carrier
paper (continued)
If the carrier paper between the wire spool and
rewind spool breaks, rotate the wire spool
clockwise until you have enough paper to reach
the rewind spool, then follow the spool
installation steps starting on step 12. You may
need to cut off the excess wire if there is too
much slack in it.
Alternatively, you may be able to repair the
carrier paper when it tears. Unwind the rewind
spool until you have enough slack to overlap 2
inches (50mm) of the paper ends. Wrap the
overlapped section in packaging tape and
follow the spool installation steps starting on
step 12.
Wire failing to
trigger slack
sensor. (Area 3a)
J320
J320 jams on the BINDER G1 may be caused
by the carrier paper between the wire spool and
rewind spool breaking or by becoming
entangled on the wire. Refer to Section 7 B
steps 1-5 and steps 11-19 for reinstalling the
spool. Note: It may be necessary to trim off
excess wire if the length of carrier paper is not
sufficient to reach the rewind spool or if the wire
has been damaged by stretching.
J320 jams on the BINDER G1 may also be
caused by debris collecting on the element
slack sensor and restricting its motion. Clear
the debris with a cloth or vacuum.
Full Rewind Spool
J320
J320 jams can occur when the rewind spool
becomes too full. The rewind spool has a
window cut into it. When paper reaches this
window, cut the paper where it leave the rewind
spool and perform steps 16-17 in Section 7 A
to empty the hub and then reattach the cut end
to the now empty spool
