Supplementary Explanation on the Adjustments to Prevent No-feed and
Double-feed Jams in the Vacuum Feed LCIT
The vacuum feed LCIT is capable of feeding a versatile range of media, but is also
susceptible to paper curl by the nature of its mechanism of blowing air to separate the
sheets. This bulletin provides explanations on the adjustments to prevent double-feed and
no-feed jams, especially caused by paper curl. The main jam codes are as follows:
Jam type
No-feed
