The Paper folder can be a very important machine in your office, especially if you do a lot of paper-folding jobs.  This machine will save you more time and money along with doing the work very well.  You will also find that this will improve the productivity of an office, where many people are employed.

Unfortunately, this machine sometimes can become jammed; so that you cannot produce your work very well.  A jammed paper folder can be caused by the many moving parts in the machine.  If your paper folder is jammed, there are some steps that you can take to fix the problem.  After fixing the problem, you will be able to use the machine to continue doing all of your folding work.

The first thing that you should do is to turn off the machine.  You should also turn off the power so that you can fix it safely.  You can do it by unplugging the power cable from the wall outlet.  Then you can start fixing the machine after removing all of your jewellery that you are wearing. This is done in order not to get your jewellery caught in the machine.

The second thing that you should do is to check and inspect parts of the machine.  Begin looking in the fold plates.  You should make sure that the installation of the fold plates is correct.  If you are not sure, that they are installed correctly, you can take them out and then reinstall them after you check them.  You will hear a "click" sound when the fold plates are correctly installed.

The third thing that you should do is to remove all scraps of paper in the machine.  For this, you have to make sure that you look inside the machine so that you can find the scraps of paper that might be stuck in the machine.   This is because scraps of paper can possibly cause the jams.  In this matter, you should pay full attention to the fold plates when you’re looking for scraps of paper.

The next thing that you should do is to give the machine a test run.  You should insert a piece of paper into the paper folder machine and observe it thru a fold cycle.  By doing this, you will find the place where the paper gets caught up.

After that, you should look at the rollers of the machine.  If they are worn out by either being swollen, flared, or dirty, you will find that the machine will jam.  If the rollers are dirty, you should clean them gently using soap and water and never use alcohol on rubber rollers.

The last thing that you should do is to check the paper feed of the machine. You have to make sure that it is feeding straight.  This will allow the paper to correctly feed into the paper fold plates.  If the paper feed is fed crooked, you should straighten it.  Now, you can enjoy finished folded papers using the machine.  Additionally, make sure that you do the correct maintenance, so that the machine will not easily get jammed.
