After installing the correct die set in your SmartPunch, you are ready to begin punching. The following 
sections indicate how to activate the machine. Read these sections completely and become familiar 
with the various machine and Die Set components. 

The POWER LED should be illuminated. If not, apply power with the Power On/Off (I/O) switch located 
at the front of the SmartPunch module. 

 

PUNCH ENABLED: You activate the punch by using the Multi-function printer interface screen. 

Once punch is enabled, the LED will remain illuminated and the punch will remain enabled for one full 
minute after the run has ended. After that time, the system will default to the bypass mode and the next 
run will not be punched. 

CLOSE DOOR and PAPER JAM: If either of these LED’s are on, no bypass and no punch can occur 
until these areas have been checked and corrected.  

CHIP TRAY FULL/OUT and CHECK DIE SET: If either of these LED’s is on, you can run in bypass 
mode but not punch mode.  

CHIP TRAY FULL/OUT: If this LED is flashing the Chip Tray is FULL. If this LED is shinning solid, the 
Chip Tray is OUT. 

POWER: If this LED is not on, paper can not run through the GBC SmartPunch in either bypass or 
punch mode. The paper will jam entering the GBC SmartPunch. 

 

The paper chip drawer for your SmartPunch is located at the front of the machine’s base. The drawer 
should be periodically pulled out and emptied. The SmartPunch incorporates microprocessor 
technology to inform the operator when the Chip Tray needs to be emptied. When the Punch has cycled 
4000 times, the Check Chip Tray LED will begin to flash on and off. You may continue to use the 
SmartPunch for a short period longer if you wish, but it is not recommended. 

You must empty the Chip Tray with the Power On so that the sensors are able to identify this action. 
This will ensure that the LED will reset itself.
