3.3 Sheets not Hooking
3.3.1 Introduction
The core function of eWire is the hooking of punched sheets onto a wire
loop, and then closing the wire loop to create a bound book. This
section will lay out the troubleshooting steps for when sheets are not
accurately being hooked on the twin loop wire tips.
A problem with hooking will result in poor book quality. In some cases, it
will also create a Jam code. J244 (Sheets left in stack area) or
J202/J203 (Stay Jam Area 2) are the most likely Jams to be caused as
a result of poor hooking.
Note that there are multiple Jam codes that could be triggered by an
unsuccessful hooking operation. If a Jam code is repeatedly seen that
does not have an obvious root cause, following the steps in this
section may help lead to a resolution.
3.3.2 Troubleshooting Steps
Follow the procedure below to correct a ‘not hooking’ issue on eWire. If a
change to eWire is made as a result of one of the troubleshooting steps
below, run additional books to determine if the change has resolved the
problem.
1. Verify that the eWire is properly docked to the upstream device
and that there is no misalignment between the devices. Confirm
that the sheets being fed into the eWire are aligned with the
sheet location marks on eWire. Refer to Section 8 Installation for
more detail.
2. Check the printed sheets for excessive curl. Refer to Section
3.5.2. If the curl is too large, eWire will be unable to properly
stack and hook the sheets. If necessary, adjust printer settings
to reduce curl.
3. Do the steps in Section 3.2 to verify that the punched holes’
positions are accurate and precise and that the holes are
punched cleanly.
4. Poor hooking can occur when the sheet quantity is too high or
paper stock is too heavy or too light. Refer to Section 3.5 for the
maximum allowable number of sheets in each element size and
allowable media.
5. Do GP 6.4 to check S3, S18, and S19
6. Do GP 6.5 to check M5 to M7
7. Do GP 6.6 to check L5 to L8
8. Install a new, unopened spool of the same size element. If this
solves the issue, visually inspect the wire on the spool that was
removed for damage or defects; refer to Section 3.3.3.
9. If element has not transferred or is not hooked completely follow
the steps below. If the element has transferred correctly
continue with step 16.
10. Visually Inspect the Element Feed Belt for damage. Observe
each tooth to ensure there are no large cracks or gouges. Do
REP 3.6 if damage is observed.
11. Do ADJ 1.1 to check the Element Skew and adjust if needed.
12. Do ADJ 1.3 to check the Holder mating to the Element Feeder.
13. Do ADJ 1.14 to check the Element Xfer Position
14. Do ADJ 1.19 to check top cover latch position
15. Do ADJ 1.10 to verify the Element wire tip position is correct.
16. Do ADJ 1.8 to verify the Deflector timing and eWire Alignment
and Skew settings.
For steps 10 to 16, if a change is made, ADJ 1.8 will need to be
repeated to correct the Deflector timing and eWire Alignment
and Skew settings.
17. Do ADJ 1.17 to check and correct the Element Feed Belt
tension.
Visually inspect the Holder Rotate Linkage. Ensure that no
parts in the linkage are damaged, loose, or bent. Refer to ADJ
1.9 for info on checking the Holder Rotate function.
18. Return to the RTP that directed you here.
