TROUBLE SHOOTING
TAPING DIFFICULTIES:
1.
TAPE DOES NOT ADHERE WELL TO BOX:
1.
CHECK THAT BOX IS NOT WAXY OR OILY.
2.
CHECK THAT BOX IS PROPERLY CUT AND SCORED SO THAT THE FLAPS DO NOT
OVERLAP. IF THE TAPE ADHERES TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM BUT NOT TO THE END
PANELS, THE BOX MAY BE SKEWED FORMING A PARALLELOGRAM. IF THIS CONDITION
EXISTS, BRING IT TO THE ATTENTION OF YOUR BOX SUPPLIER.
3.
CHECK THE PRESSURE ON THE WIPE DOWN ROLLERS. IF NECESSARY, INCREASE
THE MAIN SPRING PRESSURE.
4.
CHECK THAT THE SPRING IS NOT BROKEN.
2.
TAPE END STICKS TO ITSELF OR MECHANISM:
1.
CHECK THAT THERE IS NOT TOO MUCH DRAG ON THE TAPE CAUSING STRETCHING
AND SNAP BACK AT CUT OFF. REDUCE THE TAPE CORE DRAG SETTING.
2.
CHECK THE TAPE THREADING PATH.
3.
CHECK FOR DEFECTIVE TAPE ROLL BY PULLING TAPE OFF MANUALLY. THE PULL
SHOULD BE EVEN AND NOT VARY SUDDENLY.
4.
CHECK TAPE GUIDE PLATE SETTING AND FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT.
5.
CHECK ROLLER FOR BINDING.
3.
TAPE BREAKS OR JAMS:
1.
CHECK THE TAPE ROLL BY PULLING TAPE OFF MANUALLY. THE PULL SHOULD BE
EVEN AND SHOULD NOT VARY SUDDENLY.
2.
CHECK THE TAPE CORE DRAG SETTING.
3
CHECK THE TAPE THREADING PATH.
4.
CHECK FOR NICKS IN EDGE OF TAPE ROLL. PULL OFF DAMAGED TAPE.
5.
TAPE TENSION SET TOO HIGH.
4. TAPE
WRINKLES:
1.
CHECK THE TAPE ROLL BY PULLING TAPE OFF MANUALLY. THE PULL SHOULD BE
EVEN AND SHOULD NOT VARY SUDDENLY.
2.
CHECK THE PRESSURE OF THE WIPE DOWN ROLLERS. TOO MUCH OR NO PRESSURE
MAY CAUSE WRINKLES. PRESSURE THAT IS TOO GREAT MAY DEPRESS THE FLAPS
CAUSING PROBLEMS. IF NECESSARY, RE-ADJUST THE PRESSURE.
3.
CHECK THAT ALL THE ROLLERS TURN FREELY ON THEIR SHAFTS.
4.
CHECK THE BOX CONTENTS. PARTIALLY FULL BOXES OR VERY COMPRESSIBLE
CONTENTS MAY ALLOW THE FLAPS TO DEPRESS EXCESSIVELY CAUSING WRINKLES.
5.
CHECK THE DRAG OF THE TAPE. TOO MUCH DRAG MAY CAUSE OVERRUNNING OF THE
TAPE ROLL. ADJUST THE TAPE CORE DRAG SETTING.
6.
TAPE TENSION SET TOO HIGH.
7.
CHECK ROLLER STOP INSIDE CARTRIDGE.
8.
CHECK THAT THE TAPE IS PROPERLY THREADED AND THAT TAPE CORE IS
PROPERLY CENTERED.
