Issue description

• The film could feed into xTool Oven, but it gets jammed, and a strange noise can be heard.
  
• The film could not feed into xTool Oven and fell into the buffer zone.
  

Possible causes:

• Excessive gaps in device assembly
• Gap in the bracket assembly
• Uneven front end of the film
• Misalignment of the film and the white marking line
• Incorrect calibration value

Troubleshooting procedure

Step 1: Check for actual film jam

• Listen for Strange Sounds:
  An actual film jam typically produces distinctive "clicking" or "crashing" sounds from the shaker oven.
• Use the Film Feed Function:
  1. Navigate to: xTool Studio (or xTool Creative Space) > Device settings > Accessory information > Film material control
  2. Click the "Feed" button to force the jammed PET film out of the delivery slot.

• Manual Removal (if needed):
  1. If automatic feeding fails, allow the shaker oven to cool completely.
  2. Turn the power back on, then press and hold the "Feed" button to check if the film comes out of the delivery slot.
  3. Open the maintenance door and carefully remove the jammed film by hand.

• No Actual Jam:
  If you determine that there is no material jam, the error may be a false alert from the device. Proceed to Step 2.

Step 2: Watch the troubleshooting video

1. Please check each item in the video:

2. If you have finished watching, you can check the following most likely causes.

Step 3: The right way for film-roll alignment

1. First, roll up the film, keeping both sides even.
   
2. Leave only a small portion of the film inside the device, then pull it out from the middle. This ensures the film is in the correct position.
   
3. Please reconfirm the exact location of the film using the above confirmation method before proceeding to Step 4.

Step 4: Check the distance

1. Make sure the film does not overlap the white marking line; leave a gap of about 0.5 mm between the film and the white marking line.
   
2. If any deviation is found, please adjust the film according to the video: Replace the Brackets & Adjust the Ball Bearings on xTool Apparel Printer
3. If everything above is correct, please proceed to Step 5.

Step 5: Perform alignment calibration

1. After ensuring the film and white line are correctly positioned, perform a proper alignment calibration: xTool Apparel Printer & xTool OS1: Film Alignment Calibration
2. During alignment calibration, the head of the film needs to reach within the marking line (just within the thick line, whether slightly above or below)
   
3. If the issue persists, please proceed to Step 6.

Step 6: Reset the alignment calibration value

1. Ensure that the firmware version is 40.100.025.000.ht3 or later.
   
2. Record the last six digits of the SN code.
   
3. Follow the steps below to reset the alignment calibration value. Enter the last six digits of the SN number you recorded earlier.
   

If the error remains unresolved after following the previous steps, it might be necessary to replace one or more components. Proceed to the "If the problem persists" section to contact xTool Customer Service for further assistance.
