4 Adjustment

Adjustments on the paper feed section

Adjustments are required when the machine is likely to feed double or skew.

4.1.1 Change speed

There are four feeding speed levels.

4.1.2 VACUUM adjustment

・ Double paper feeds may occur in case of feeding thin or low-density papers. In such cases, turn down the VACUUM.

・ Empty feed may occur in case of feeding heavy paper. In such a case, turn up the VACUUM.

・ VACUUM will be turned off when the value is 0.

4.1.3 → Lower suction adjustment

・ BLOW will be turned off when the value is 0.

・ Empty feed may occur when paper is heavy. In such cases, turn up the blower.

・ Papers with statics may cause double paper feed. In such cases, turn up the blower.

4.1.4 ↓ Side blow adjustment

・ BLOWER will be turned off when the value is 0.

・ Thin paper might be bent and fed. In this case, turn down the side blower.

・ Empty feed may occur when paper is heavy. In such cases, turn up the blower.

・ Papers with statics may cause double paper feed. In such cases, turn up the blower.

4.1.5 Air blow adjustment

4.1.6 PAPER FEED WORK TIME adjustment

・ 0.5 sec. is the default setting.

・ Paper fed work time can be adjusted with a fraction of 0.1s.

Sensitivity of Double feed sensor

・ If the machine detects double feed even with a single sheet, lower the sensitivity of the detection sensor.

・ The detection sensor detects double feed by checking the edge of sheets as shown on the drawing. It is recommended not to print on the sheet edge.

4.2 Skew adjustment

・ If print is skew on the sheet, the angle of the side guide can be adjusted.

① The angle of the side guide changes as

the skew adjustment dial is turned.

② Set the sheets again.

4.3 Fine adjustments on processing position

・ Make sure the original sheets are printed correctly and consistently.

4.3.1 Fine adjustment of slit position

Loosen the screw, and then turn the

slitter fine adjustment knob.

The gaps between the slitter heads are

If the slitter head is let out, loosen the slitter

head lock knob before adjustment, and

retighten it after adjustment.

Slitter head lock knob

4.3.2 In cases cutting positions don’t match to image positions

① Image shift compensation tab will pop up by pressing

② Select an Image shift compensation setting.

patterns of Image shift compensation setting can be saved in 1～4.

When processing without any compensation, select OFF.

Compensate the image shift by following procedure.

When the leading edge and top margin are different from the artwork file.

・ If the leading edge was printed larger(shorter) than as it should be, the images on cards seem moved to right(left). ⇒Enter a －

• （○ ＋） correction value in A to cut the leading edge longer.

If the top margin was printed wider(narrower) than as it should be, the images on the

cards seem moved to the bottom(top).

⇒Turn the slitter adjustment knob to adjust the slit position.

(Ref. 4.3.1 Fine adjustment of slit position)

When the images on the cards seem moving gradually

・ If the print was shrunk(stretched), images on the cards seem gradually moving to left(right). ⇒Enter a ○ －（○ ＋）correction value to B to shorten the gutter length.

In case the gap is 0.12” and there are 6 gutters between cards,

0.12 ÷ 6 ＝ 0.02 [inch] should be inputted.

When the print is shrunk or stretched.

Input ratio into C if the printing is stretching to the feed direction.

Ensure that when these ratios are changed, all parameters such as card size and gutter size will be changed as well.

Must be from 80% to 120%

EX:

If printing should be 4.000” width, but actual printing is

4.080”, input 102.0% into C.

When the lengths of the last 2 cards are different from others.

・ Input a correction value to D to compensate the length of the second last card.

・ Input a correction value to E to compensate the length of the last card.

If the cut measurement does not match the input value

If the actual size and measurements of output differs from input values, calibrate the machine via ADJUST screen.

Go back to Settings screen without making any changes.

Reset the machine to the factory setting, all the adjusted values

Save the adjusted values and go back to Settings screen.

When using cut marks, enter the value in A.

Example: If the input value is 10.0 inch and the cut dimension is 9.9 inch

When cut marks are not used, enter the value in B.

Example: If the input value is 20.0 inch and the cut dimension is 20.3 inch

7 Trouble shooting

① Papers are not fed well.

・ Turn up Upper suction.

・ Shorten the PAPER FEED WORK TIME.

・ Check if the paper guides on the feed table hold sheets too tight.

・ Make sure that the paper edges are not curled or waved.

・ Make sure that the papers are not heavily electric static charged.

② The machine feeds double-sheets.

・ Turn down Upper suction.

・ Turn up Lower suction.

・ Make sure that the papers are not heavily electric static charged.

・ Lengthen the PAPER FEED WORK TIME.

③ The machine detects double-feed mistakenly.

・ Adjust the sensitivity of the double-feed detection sensor.

・ The detection sensor detects double feed by checking the edge of sheets.

It is recommended not to print on the sheet edge.

④ Cut skewing

・ Make sure that the stock is put on the feed table correctly.

・ Check whether the skewings are consistent or inconsistent.

If skewings are consistent

+ Make the skewing adjust via the skew adjustment dial.

+ Set the paper guides without play.

Do not set them too tight as the sheet may not be fed well.

If skewings are inconsistent

+ Shorten the PAPER FEED WORK TIME.

+ Make sure that the sheets are printed consistently and aligned well.

⑤ Paper jam often occurs.

・ Make sure that papers, paper strips or paper dusts not remain inside of the machine.

・ Check the conditions of the paper stock.
