Troubleshooting - Martin Yale P7200 Instruction Manual

AUTOMATIC FEEDING OF SINGLE SHEETS
Follow the below steps for clean automatic paper feeding:
1. Square stack of up to 50 sheets of paper by tapping it on all sides on a flat surface such as a table.
2. Load squared stack of paper into the P7200 feed table, the top sheet of paper should be in contact with the
black feed tire. NOTE: In loading the paper, the stack need only be "pushed" into the feed mecha-
nism with a light touch. Jamming the stack of paper into the folder with force will result in feeding
problems. See figures 12 and 13.
3. Turn the folder 'ON' by pushing the 'I' portion of the 'I-O-II' rocker switch. Folding should initiate. *Note:
Use Martin Yale Static Eliminator (model 300) to remove static and improve machine performance. Also use

HAND FEEDING OF SETS (Mandatory when folding multiple sheet sets of paper)
1. To prevent jams, remove all paper from the Paper Tray before feeding sets by hand.
2. For feeding sets of up to 3 sheets (stapled or unstapled), first square the paper against a tabletop.
3. Place the paper into the manual feed slot on the top of the machine (as shown in Figures 13 and 14). Do
not install multiple sheet sets in the Feed Table; a jam will result.
4. Use the momentary on, "II" switch position to initiate folding. Hold switch
down until folded paper exits machine.
5. Do not run machine for long periods of time without paper in the Paper Tray, this
could wear down the feed tire. HINT: For multiple sheet sets of paper, creas-
ing of the stock may be encountered due to the thickness of the multiple
sheet set. Correct by moving the 1st fold table stop out approximately 1/8".
For example, if the 1st fold table were set at 7 3/8" for a letter fold, the user
would reset it to 7 1/2" for the multiple sheet set.
PAPER JAMS
1. Unplug the machine. Check to see if you can clear the jam by removing one of the Fold Tables.
2. If you cannot remove the jam, use a flathead screwdriver to manually turn the folding rollers, using the
access hole in the left side of the machine. The paper should eventually emerge from the machine.
3. You may need to remove the top plastic cover to extract the jammed paper.

TROUBLESHOOTING

2. If feeding by hand, make sure the paper is properly aligned before placing it in the slot.
3. If feeding by hand, place the set in the slot before turning the machine on.
4. Re-align the Paper Guides.
5. Check to see if paper is within specifications (8
