Small misses in the wax coating on the back or some streaky areas in the coating. 

 The Speedcote is running too hot. When running too hot the wax is less tacky so the 

paper does not hug the roller well and does not pick up the proper amount of wax. Running too 

hot also thins out the wax on the coating roller.  

 Turn the temperature down slightly to the left. If the knob is at the 12:00 position, 

turn it to 11:00 and wait 30 minutes for the temperature to reset. 

 

 

Receive a thin straight line of missed wax in the direction in which you are coating the 

paper

 There is dirt or debris lodged between the wiper blade and coating roller and is blocking 

the wax flow. 

 Loosen the screws on top of the wiper blade and use the two set screws in front of 

the blade to bring the blade back, away from the roller. Clean out any dirt in the blade area. If 

the blade is very dirty, you may want to remove it to clean it. 

 

 

The paper comes out of the machine with “score” lines on the image side.  

 The paper is too thin, so it hugs the coating roller then goes over the stripper fingers 

which marks it with lines.  

 Use heavier gsm paper. The minimum recommended weight is120gsm.  With photo 

paper minimum is 9 mils. If the paper is borderline, then you may be able to eliminate the lines 

by increasing the temperature and thinning out the coating using the wiper blade. 

 

 

Coating is too thick or too thin 

 Position of wiper blade 

 Reset the blade using the instructions on Page 7of this operating guide. 

 

 

Getting drops of wax on the leading edge of the paper.

 

  Wax is building up on the leading edge of the stripper fingers after running the motor 

for a while. 

 Turn off the motor for a minute and the drops should melt away. Also space the 

fingers so there is the minimum amount needed under the paper. Reset the blade to produce a 
thinner coating.
