Steve: Thanks again for your response. I have
shimmed out 4 of the units and they are working better. On one I had used some
very thin neoprene washers. On testing it was found the unit would accept 2
ballots, which would probably not be as significant a problem with ballots being
hand fed. Upon changing to the paper shim used in the other unitd the ballot
count was correct on all decks run. It would appear that the ballots are not
scored and this may be causing the problem since the fold line is rather thicker
than what we usually see. Does this sound feasible? Would scored ballots be a
problem when using the feeders - Cause them to tear when being fed? The jammed
ballots we have had are really jammed to the point that a good deal tear and
cannot be removed from the read head without taking it apart. The majority of
the torn portion can sometimes be removed, bot on 4 of the units ballot pieces
have been forced into the idler wheels and locked them up.
I am really open to any
suggestions. Right now I would tend to agree with Steve that perhaps we need to
look at special units for CC and accu-feed units if the ballot issue were to
continue. Could CC units be set to detect ballot thickness to determine a double
ballot rather than a physical limitation?
Thanks: Don
