Forms
Jam

due
to
forms separation

cover opens.

2.
Inspect
the
forms
in
the
area
of
the
print
line. If forms are
not
separated
or
damaged
and
appear
to
be feeding properly, check
for
a
paper
chad
or
other
debris covering
the
forms-sensing device
in
the
lower
tractor.
This
can cause
a
false indication. Also check
the

frame opposite

of
paper
dust
on
the
strip can cause a
