I don't know if it addresses this issue. I mount all of my slides in Wess or Gepe mounts which are thicker and don't jam at all. There is a work-around for using the Pakon and other thin slide mounts. You can attach a credit card (old one) to the slide feeder. It will hit the next slide and prevent the SF-200 from trying to load more than one of the thin mounts. A rubber band or paper clip usually works or you can just try holding it there to be sure of the position before you use rubber cement. Hope this helps.
