clear any paper from this area.
Check the feed wheel to see if it is turning. If it is not turning check the set
screws on the feed wheel, the pulley and belt under the non-operator side cover.
Jamming
Clean the fold rollers. Dirty rollers can cause jamming.
Check for obstructions in the machine.
Check placement of the second fold table with the manual.
