6.0 Operator's Troubleshooting guide
6.1 Envelopes jam in blade and do not exit letter opener.
Paper jamming in letter opening blade is most often due to more than one envelope feeding
into the cutting blade at once or envelope contents in the cutting area. Possible causes with
repairs are listed below:
1. Dirty feed belts-Clean as outlined in section 5.1.
2. Catch tray is full, envelopes "backing up" into blade cutting area-Empty catch tray
3. Retarder needs readjustment. Loosen lock nut on retarder adjusting screw and turn
retarder adjusting screw clockwise or counter-clockwise as needed.
4. Retarder pad worn, replace with new pad.
