No signature on the paper -
Make sure the platen is beneath the signature plate holder. Make
sure the signature plates and the ink roller have been installed.

Every other signature is out of alignment -
Determine which signature plate has a misaligned
rubber pad and realign it as follows. Viewing a signature plate with the notch to the right, the
signature will be upside down and the imaginary signature line should align with the top edge
of the notch. The signature should be centered left to right. If a rubber pad is not positioned
correctly, remove it and realign the rubber pad.

Signature is consistently too high or too low -
Check alignment of the rubber pads of the
signature plates. See #14 above.

Install a piece of masking tape under each end of that signature plate directly on the signature

the signature plate.
