Isn't "8" a ribbon jam?

Don't laugh, but I have an IBM 5224 model 2 that is giving me fits.  We
only use it once a year and don't have any documentation.  
Here is the problem: when I send a spool file to the attached outq it
will allow me to align TOF and then it will print one line before
stopping with a code of 8.  The message on the 400 is no help at all, it
just says press Stop/Start... which cause it to print another line and
then stop again with the same code.  

If I knew what this code meant I might be able to fix the problem.  Does
anyone know anything about these printers?
