10.1 .....Paper Jams
It is not normally possible to rotate the machine backwards.
However in order to assist in the removal of paper jams, this can be
achieved by releasing the drive system using a 2.5mm allen key to
remove the grub screw behind the handwheel.
The input rollers, output shafts or platen may then be rotated in
reverse by turning them by hand.
NOTE ...... The Main Print Shaft cannot be reversed. Attempting to
do so will damage the Clutch and impair registration.
After removing the paper jam, align the grub screw holes as
follows:-
- Insert the allen key into one of the holes in the collar to prevent it
from turning and turn the handwheel clockwise.
- When the key engages with the shaft and drops further into the
collar, stop turning, replace the grub screw and tighten
SECURELY
.
NOTE ...... Do not attempt to clear a jam by cutting the paper as
damage to the rollers or platen is inevitable.
