2. Job is set up incorrectly. 

1. Press 8 or 9 to adjust cut to perf while running.
This is a temporary fix and must be repeated 
each time the forms are loaded.  Have technician 
check the parameter setting. 

2. Adjust cut length settings for the job being run. 

Can’t escape from setup mode. 

Bad information on display.

1. Press START. 

Cutter stops with “<NO LOOP>” message. 

1. Forms have cleared loop sensor, if installed on your 
CS-9018. 

1. Reload forms or disable loop control. 

Tickets do not stack well. 

1. Forms are not being cut on the perf. 

2. Tickets on the extended stacker are too loose or too 
tight.  You should be able to easily separate the tops of 
the tickets and see an 

” to ¼” gap. 

3. The stacking conveyor infeed plate is not fully in place. 

4. The vacuum transport belt holes are not aligned with
the slots in the vacuum support tube.

2. Adjust stacking conveyor speed.  Once a good 
speed has been established, enter that setting 
into the job setup screen. 

3. Loosen the two black knobs, press the plate 
into position, and tighten the knobs. 

4. Contact your service technician for adjustment.
