(2) Paper Jam
Detection of Paper Jam
• FA-S680 copy paper transport condition is monitored by the sensors shown
below. When paper is jammed, the jam position indicator (
) blinks. at the
same time, "paper jam" is memorized by code number (J60). (Maximum 10
occurrences including options.)
• To recall paper jam codes, refer to the copier service manual "F8-06", page 4-
1(7).
(a) Jam conditions
• When the sorter paper feed sensor does not detect paper within a predetermined
time after the paper exit sensor in the copier detects paper.
• When the sorter paper exit sensor does not detect paper within a predetermined
time after the paper feed sensor in the sorter detects paper.
• When the sorter paper feed sensor and the sorter paper exit sensor detect
paper when the power switch is turned on.
To clear "paper jam" indication, remove the paper, reset the sorter mode and
select the sorter mode again.
