Troubleshooting
Document pages won't fit onto the comb.
Ensure you are using the correct comb size for the number of sheets. This 16mm comb is for up to 145 sheets. If your document is thicker, you may need a larger comb. Also, verify that the holes in your document are properly aligned with the comb rings.
Comb doesn't close properly.
Check that your binding machine's comb opener and closer mechanisms are functioning correctly. Ensure the comb is fully loaded with pages before attempting to close it. If the comb appears warped or damaged, use a new one.
Bound document pages fall out.
Re-bind the document, ensuring the comb is fully closed by the machine. If the issue persists, the comb may be too small for the number of pages, or the pages may not have been punched correctly.
Combs appear scratched or discolored.
These combs are designed to resist chipping, scratching, peeling, and discoloration. If this occurs, it might be due to improper storage (e.g., excessive heat or humidity) or rough handling. Ensure proper storage conditions.
