Double Feeds?

Q) What causes double feeds and jams?
A)
A worn separator (Part # 6F1596) or feed roll (Part # 3F1525) allows more than one sheet to feed into the machine, causing doubles, jams or skewed folds. The stripper and feed roll should be both replaced at the same time to restore smooth and reliable document feeding. Note: These parts should only be replaced by an authorized Hedman Distributor.

Q) The machine stops when running a large batch of paper, then works after sitting for a while?
A)
The power supply has a built in thermal limit that interrupts the power when it gets overheated. This is a safety device incorporated to prevent damage to the power supply or motor. This usually occurs when running an unusually large batch of documents. To resume operation, shut off the power, allowing the power supply to cool off, it will automatically reset, and normal operation will be restored.
