Multiple Sheet Feeding:
1. Set feed system per Section 5.1.
2. If stock is glossy the feed wheels of the machine may have grip issues. This is a common issue with friction
- fed units. If one side is not glossy, run through with glossy side facing up.
Inaccurate Registration:
1. Set registration on unit per Section 5.0.
2. Double-check the layout to make sure that the register marks are being utilized in the proper manner.
3. Verify that locking knobs in the paper guides are tight. NOTE: DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN LOCKING KNOBS.
4. Check o-rings on the unit for signs of wear and tear. Clean paper dust off component.
5. Check the upper extreme left O-ring and the extreme lower right O-ring. Verify that the document is going
under these on both sides. Readjust as necessary. If the document does not go under these on both sides
it will cause the document to skew to one side.
Stacking Issues:
If business cards do not properly fall into slots:
1. Slide the collection tray as the machine runs to fine - tune positioning.
2. Make sure collection trays are not obstructed. They should hang freely from the exit side of the unit.
Scoring / Perforating Issues:
Scoring roller cutting stock:
The solution to this is to humidify your stock. Typically only very dry material will do this.
Poor perforation or score:
1. Check the nearness of the guide roller to the score or perforation wheel. If possible, position for better func-
tion to the extreme edges of the stock.
2. Verify that the set screws in the accessories have been tightened (scoring roller does not use a setscrew).
Skewing:
1. Most often occurs during the second cut (2" width) on business cards slitters (does not apply to the SP100). Check
that paper guides are properly adjusted to give minimal side clearance on material and still allow stock to slide freely.
2. In the event the machine is properly set and a slight skewing may still occur, loosen the setscrew (A) in both
of the collars with O-rings and slide collars inward (B)
until slight resistance is felt. Do not push collar into slit-
ter blade (C), as this will affect slitting quality. Retighten
setscrews (A) after relocation and before operation. See
diagram at right.
Moving O-ring collars usually requires some amount of
trial and error. It should only be attempted after all the
above recommendations have been exhausted.
Proper maintenance of your unit will prevent most situations that cause damage. Follow the steps below to
maintain the unit.
1. Once every 60 days, clean all paper dust from the unit.
2. Once every 90 days, check the Phillips head screws in each sheet retarder and make sure they are tight.
3. Periodically, check the power cord of the machine for frays and pinches. Replace cord should any damage be found.
4. As needed, clean feed wheels on the unit with mild cleaner and a Scotch-Brite pad.
5. Periodically clean the O-rings on the cutter shafts with a damp, soft cloth.
6. In the event of blade removal during the life of the machine, a diagram of blade placement has been includ-
ed for reassembly purposes. See Figure next page.
CAUTION: Blade spacing and tension is extremely
critical to the operation of any business card slitter. Only a qualified service technician should
attempt blade removal/replacement.
