Adjustment

5.1 Adjustments on the paper feed section

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

「 VACUUM 」

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.

「 BLOW - FRONT 」

BLOW – FRONT will be turned off when the value is 0.

Page 34 of 53

AeroCut Prime User Manual, page 35
Text on page 35

「 BLOW - SIDE 」

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.

BLOW- SIDE will be turned off when the value is 0.

・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.

It is recommended not to print on the

Paper feed direction

Papers which length is less than 250mm may

not be fed properly. Use the upper suction

shutter to avoid empty feed.

・There are eight feeding speed levels.

・When X-perforating on heavy papers at high

speed, it may cause noise and inaccurate cut.

In such a case, slow down the XP-SPEED.

5.5.2 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.

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

Save the adjusted values and go back to Manual speed Screen

Go back to manual speed Screen without making any changes.

① In cases the width of a card or a top margin is different from inputted values,

Input differences between inputted values and actual sizes of outputs into A,B,C and D.

Total measurement that has been changed A, B, C, and D.

EX:

If the input value is 90mm and the cut measurement is 90.4mm, input -0.4.

If the input value is 5mm and cut measurement is 4.5mm, input +0.5.

※:If you press OK after you input values into A, B, C and D, those values will be added to

each total measurements which are circled on the image below. Then, A, B, C and D will be

reset to 0.00.You can change the measurement by 0.05mm.Each adjustment should be

within±2.00 mm at one time. If the gap is more than ±2.00 mm, repeat the process until

the desired measurement is reached.

② In case the length of leading edge is wrong:

Input the difference between inputted value and

actual measurement into E.

EX:

In case input value is 10mm and cut measurement

is 9.9mm, input +0.1 to E.

(You can input ±10.00mm at the most)

Input the difference between inputted value and

actual measurement into F.

EX:

In case input value is 20mm and cut measurement

is 20.3mm, input -0.3 to F.

(You can input ±10.00mm at the most)

③ In case X-perforation position in feeding direction is

In case the layout has X-Perforation only.

Input the difference between inputted value and

actual position of X-perforator into G.

EX:

In case input value is 200mm and actual

perforation position is 201mm, input -1.0 to G.

(You can input ±10.00mm at the most)

In case the layout has X-perfo and other processes

such as cross cut at the same time.

Input the difference between inputted value and actual

position of X-perforator into H.

EX:

In case input value is 50mm and actual perforation

position is 48.5mm, input +1.5 to H.

(You can input ±10.00mm at the most)

length of X-Perforator into I.

EX:

In case input value is 150mm and actual

perforation is 145mm length, input +5.0 to I.

(You can input ±10.00mm at the most)

⑤ In case creasing position is incorrect

Input the difference between inputted value and actual

creasing position into J.

EX:

In case input value is 50mm and the actual

creasing position is 48mm length, input +2.0 to J.

(You can input ±10.00mm at the most)

⑥ In case the timing of Y-Perforation is incorrect.

Input the difference between inputted value and start

EX:

In case input value is 50mm and the actual starting

position of creasing is 48mm length, input +2.0 to K.

(You can input ±10.00mm at the most)

In case you amend the value according to expansion

or contraction of printing.

Input magnification into L if the printing is stretching

to the feed direction.

Input magnification into M if the printing is stretching

to the width direction.

Please note that changing magnifications results in

changing actual measurements of outputs.

EX:

If printing should be 100mm width, but actual

printing is 105mm, input 1.050 (105/100) into L.

・The machine detects the density of the first fed sheet and compares the density of

the next sheet to the first one.

Therefore, the machine cannot detect double-feed

when it occurs with the first fed sheet.

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

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

It is recommended not to print on the sheet edge. (
