Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting Guide is provided to assist in solving any problems that might occur with the
Tabber. We have tried to make it as complete as possible. The best advice we can offer is to
make sure that the tabs, labels or stamps are threaded properly and that the machine is plugged in
and turned on.
Jams
CONDITION
SOLUTION
Media jams in transport section of Tabber.
1.
Check Feeder/Tabber alignment.
Media should be between 1/8" to 1/32"
from Fixed Guide in Tabber.
2.
Check that the two Media Guides are not
pressing down too firmly on the media.
3.
Check that the Adjustable Center Guide
is not pushing media tightly against the
Fixed Side Guide.
4.
Check that head pressure is not too tight.
Tab Placement Problems
CONDITION
SOLUTION
Tabs are not placed in same spot on media.
Tabs should be placed /- 1/8"
1.
Check
Pitch
setting for the tab. It should
be 0.0005"
–
0.010" more than the tab
size plus the space between the tabs.
2.
Check amount of transport pressure. Too
little can cause media to slip when fed.
3.
Check that pointer on the Applicator
Head is in the center of the Tab.
4.
Check that the pressure rollers (
Unwind
Roller and Tab Drive Roller
) are engaged.
5.
Verify that the correct Backing type was
selected (
Clear/Opaque
).
6.
Check/adjust V-Tab settings.
More of the Tab is on the top of the media than
on the bottom.
Adjust the Tab Adjustment Knob (
Page 12
)
clockwise to move more of the Tab to the
bottom side of the media.
