conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
• Before connecng the machine to the power mains verify that the electrical rangs of the machine match the
electrical supply intended for connecon, otherwise do not connect. If the correct power is not available contact
the reseller.
• Before maintenance or repair, disconnect the power cords from the electrical supply and protect the cables from
any possible accidental connecon carried out by unauthorized personnel.

Troubleshoong Tape Jams
• Interference when Tape in Moon
◊ Operator grabs the tape before it stops dispensing
◊ Tape hits box or other object while dispensing.
• Tape Path Dirty
◊ Tape path must be free of dirt, glue and tape. Keep in mind that the feed wheel is pushing tape forward
aer leaving it. Therefore, a tape piece or other obstrucon will divert the tape from its normal path and will
cause a jam.
• Tape Pieces Stuck in Machine
◊ Aer a tape jam or at the end of a roll a tape a small piece of tape may be le in the machine tape path.
Verify that any piece of tape, however small, has been removed from the machine aer clearing a tape jam.
• Brushes Posioned Incorrectly
◊ The brush ferule must be snapped under retaining clip.
◊ Long bristle edge must face towards the front of machine
• Moistening Brushes Worn
◊ Hole or depression worn into surface of bristles causing tape to catch
◊ Clumps of glue interfering with tape moon
◊ This issue may be worse when the brushes are dry, and may be ne aer fully moistened.
• Lower Heater Plate
◊ Not snapped up and together with heater plate
◊ Bent – Lower plate should not be curved so as to create a pinch point with the heater plate
◊ Dirty – glue or tape stuck to top of plate
• Roll Guide Mis-adjusted
◊ Roll guides in wrong slot with too much side clearance which allows roll to wobble excessively.
◊ Roll Guides too ght against sides of roll causing excessive drag.
• Blade Height Needs Adjusng (feed wheel adjustment too ght)
◊ Tape hing blade
◊ Tape jumping over blade or le -hand corner of tape folded over
• Tape issues – damaged, frayed, excessive curl, extremely thin or thick, requiring feed wheel adjustment.
• Upper Tape Plate – missing, bent, or incorrect posion
◊ Tape must move freely under the plate, all the way up to the blade.
• Poor Cung
◊ If the blade is cung poorly or incompletely
• Heater Plate Bent
• Blade Oiler - felt separang from holder and interfering with tape

Troubleshoong Tape Strips Too Short
The machines measures the tape length by counng the number of pulses from the length encoder. Each me one of
the small cutouts in the encoder wheel passes in front of the opcal switch a pulse is produced. When the programmed
number of pulses is reached the machine turns o the motor and cuts the tape. The most likely cause for short lengths
is the feed wheel slipping on the tape.
• Slippage
If the blade height is not adjusted correctly sucient pressure may not be exerted on the tape by the feed wheel.
To test this:
1. Open the cover and insert a strip of tape under the Feed Wheel, as if you are loading tape.
2. To the right is a small lever, li up on this lever. The Blade should rise when this happens.
3. Aempt to pull the tape out from under the Feed Wheel.
a. If it removes too easily the Feed Wheel will need to be ghtened
b. If you cannot remove the tape the Feed Wheel is too ght and will need to be loosened.
c. If the tape can be removed with a constant pull force pull force, clean the feed wheel
Adjust blade height if needed.
Reference the secon Feed Wheel / Blade Height Adjustment for instrucons
A dirty or oily feed wheel may slip on the tape. Clean the surface of the feed wheel that contacts the tape with a mild
cleaner and a clean cloth.
If le hand corner of tape is folded over the blade is not high enough for the tape to pass through unobstructed, adjust
the blade height.

Troubleshoong Tape Strips Too Long
If the controller board does not see all the encoder pulses the tape produced will be long.
• Encoder Problem
◊ Verify the length encoder is plugged into the controller board and none of the wires are broken.
▪ If a bad encoder sensor (opcal switch) is suspected, swap in a known good one to conrm.
• Controller Board
◊ If the encoder is good, then the controller board is suspect, swap in a know good controller board to conrm.
If there is a constant feed or extremely long tape pieces either the length encoder or controller board will need to be
replaced.
Tape Feeds Slowly
If the tape roll is free to turn and there is no tape jammed in the machine, the most likely reason is bad tape weng
brushes. Other issues could be
• Motor brushes worn
◊ Brushes will supply years of use under normal condions, but may wear out and need to be replaced.
• Motor defecve
◊ If motor brushes are good the motor may need to be replaced.
• CodeTaper
◊ If a CodeTaper is being used, verify tape is not binding in it and that the tape can be pulled freely through it.
• Low line voltage
◊ Low line voltage can slow the motor speed down as much as 20%, but it will sll dispense quickly. Usually the
solenoid will chaer or the machine will stop dispensing tape all together by the me the line voltage is low
enough to cause the tape to feed extremely slow.

Troubleshoong Not Feeding Tape
If the power indicator lamp is illuminated but the motor does not start check the following:
• Interlock Circuit
◊ Top cover open
▪ Verify the top cover is fully closed and seated properly
◊ Magnet missing
▪ Verify that the small magnet located in the top cover is present. It should be found opposite of the
magnet reed switch (1/2” diameter circular disk, or 1”X1/4” black rectangular switch depending on
producon year) in the le side of the from when the cover is completely closed. Only one magnet will
be in either locaon. (Figure 1)
◊ Interlock switch circuit not plugged in
▪ Verify that the interlock reed switch is plugged into the controller board at the connector marked
“interlock.”
