  2. Vigorously fan and shingle the mail to ensure that the mail pieces are not sticking together
  3. Open all covers and jam release knobs and remove any mail in the machine
  4. Using a can of non-flammable canned air and working from the left side of the machine to the exit, blow onto the feed deck that the envelopes travel on
  5. If the error persists a reboot may resolve the issue.  Here are the steps to follow for a safe restart:

    3. Select Shut Down from the menu.
    4. Select Shut Down on the pop up
    5. Wait for the screen to go black and the blue light on the front to go out.  This may take several minutes.
    6. After everything has been off for 10 seconds press the power button to power the Connect+ back up
