Jam Free Anti-Jam Technology
Jam Free Shredders will only shred stacks of paper that are
within the shredder’s sheet capacity. For example, a shredder
with a capacity of 22 sheets will not allow the shredding of
more sheets than this.
Sensors in the paper feed area measure the thickness of
paper about to be shredded. The ability to shred or not is
communicated through red and green lighting. Green means
that the stack of paper is within the shredders sheet capacity
and OK to shred. Red means that you have too much paper,
remove some sheets in order to shred.
Given that you are unable to shred more sheets of paper
than the shredder is capable of shredding, paper jams are
prevented.
This prevents time wasted through reversing paper and
unblocking jams not to mention the mess it can create.
Rare Occasions of Jamming
In the unlikely event of the shredder jamming, use the reverse
function to unblock the shredder (see Reverse function section).
Alternating between the reverse and continuous forward
functions will help unblock the feed area.
Door Open Safety Function
If the door is opened during shredding as a safety precaution
the shredder will instantly stop, and the door open symbol/
indicator will glow red.
Over Heating
If small office models (GSS208, GSX168 and GSM128) are
used continuously for long periods of time the shredder
may overheat. If this occurs the thermometer symbol on the
indicator panel will illuminate.
When the shredder is ready to be used again the thermometer
symbol will not illuminate.
