why does my cameo shred my paper

I would first check the blade to see if it has a nick in it. Even the slightest damage to a blade causes problems. Second, check to see if there is paper or glitter stuck in the blade. Glitter is fun, but tough on blades! Third, I would make sure your depth setting is correct. Could possibly be too deep, thus making a mess of your paper. Hope this helps

It makes what sounds like a little bell noise while it is shredding. It's most pronounced with you use the credit care shredder slot. Works great, just makes a strange noise.

I am having this same problem and wasting a lot of sheets. I did about 20 sheets no problem and then once the corner folding started I can't get it to stop. I'm considering sending the machine back for another brand.

The paper isn't replaceable or cleanable, other than maybe dusting it off lightly.

I am having the EXACT same issue - jams after printing the 1st page. Called EPS customer support. They were nice, polite, and are sending me a replacement.

What I noticed is that machine will not work more than half an hour if I use continually, as I shred only once in a month. It need a good couple of hour cooling time, may be something wrong with my machine.

Firstly, never, ever turn it off. If you do, say there is a power cut when it is printing, the teeth in the cubes will jamb and the cost of repair is more than a new Samsung printer. Secondly, paper jams are frequent. We could solve this for a short while by cleaning all the rollers and making sure the sensor was clear. But it would soon happen again. Any paper less than 22lbs fails continually. We ended up using 25 lb paper to solve the issue for longer periods.

I just tried an old gift card, and the machine cuts most of the card horizontally - the papers do get cross cut though. It appears that the machine is designed with a certain length where the cross cut happens, that may be the reason the card shred came mostly horizontal.

I have not experienced this problem. The shredding done by my machine is what I expected it to do. Maybe you have a bad set of shredding rollers in yours. I would contact Amazon or Fellows about this issue. Good Luck!!

I don't have a Cameo, but I've used it with my Cricut Expression and I love it. It does a great job!

I had one very serious jam and I made sure that the shredder was turned off and unplugged from the surge protector and then used several pliers in different lengths and pulled the paper from it. After I cleared the jam I put some performance oil on a single sheet of paper and ran it through and it worked okay.

I had the same problem there is a drum component of the toner cartridge that electrostatically "spreads the toner" before it is heated and fused to the paper. I believe the drum unit is defective. I returned my cartridge to Amazon for this reason. I had smudges and what looked like double images on the paper.

I'm not sure if they officially do or not, but it would be a miracle if you got the company to replace anything that was broken. Please do yourself a favor and skip this machine. I was a long-time Cricut user and had all of their machines, but sold them all to buy the Silhouette Cameo. I've never been happier with a due cutting machine! It does everything so much better than any Cricut.

no and yesif you use recycled paper it tends to jam a little more than the regular standard paper.keith

this uses a film roll. it burns through the film onto paper similar to carbon copies

Put fingers in drawer slot, lift up slightly, pull forward. I never had a problem with mine. Is the basket too full? If so, give the shredder a little shake to settle the shredded paper. Try again.

Did you have any of the mylar shims with it? Like thin sheets of plastic? If so, start adding those to the sandwich and see if it improves. If you don't have them, try copy paper- adding a sheet at a time until it cuts all the way through. Thats all the problem is, the sandwich isn't quite thick enough. remember to add shims one at a time until you get a good cut- you don't want to force something too thick through your machine.When you have the cut right, you can see if you could swap plates- taking out a thinner one and replacing it with a thicker one. Its really trial & error- no two machines will use exactly the same pressure, so what works for one person may not work for someone else. Sometimes, placing the die and chipboard on a different area of the platform, or facing a different way can help too. Hope this helps.
