German term

Blockbildung

German to English Tech/Engineering
This has to do with the printer/copier industry, and the only context I have is concerning a Stapel of paper. Something about Blockbildung im Stapel. I had very little context to go on for this one to begin with.
Proposed translations (English)

Paper jam

I believe this refers to a paper jam. Block from Blockieren also mean jamming. Ernst Fachwb. fuer Industrielle Technik offers for Blockbildung -> blocking, whereas for blockieren -> stop, block, tie-up, (verstopfen) jam.

Hope this helps!

Jam in the paper tray

Blockbildung is given in Collins as "formation of blocks, to block". Stapel = pile. I thought of a heavy-duty paper tray.
