4. HANDLING OF PAPER

4-1. Paper Used

If using folded or curled paper, flatten first prior to use.

Make sure that the printing ink on the paper has dried completely prior to use.

If used without the ink completely dried, the folding roller or paper may become dirty.

Use paper that has been cut at right angles.

If not cut at right angles, problems such as folding misalignment may occur.

Fan paper just copied or printed well prior to use.

Paper just copied or printed contains considerable static electricity, and if not fanned well, problems such as double-feed will result.

4. HANDLING OF PAPER

4-2. Precautions on Stacking Paper

Stack the paper so that the lead edge touches the shutter gently.

If there is a gap between the lead edge and shutter, the paper detection sensor will not function properly.

Do not stack paper on the paper feed tray with the left and right sides of the paper unaligned or some sheets protruding out.

Stack so that there is no gap. Paper

<Paper protruding on <Paper protruding at the left and right sides> the lead and trail edges>

If the paper is protruding on the left or right side, the paper size detection sensor will not function normally and detect the paper size accurately.

Do not stack paper on the paper feed tray with the lead and trail edges unaligned or some sheets protruding out.

If the paper is protruding at the lead or trail edge, paper will not be fed stably, resulting in problems such as paper feed error and folding misalignment.

In some cases, paper may not be fed smoothly into the folding plate due to the environment (temperature, humidity), paper thickness, paper type, paper states, and processing speed, etc., and as a result, the paper may not be folded properly. In such cases, lower the processing speed, or improve the paper states before use.

1. STANDARD FOLDING OF STANDARD PAPER

1-1. Standard Paper

There are six types of standard paper sizes; A3, B4, A4, B5, A5, and B6. All these sizes are detected as standard paper only when stacked in the short edge feeding direction (direction shown in the figure).

For A4 and B5 sizes, these can be used as non-standard paper even when stacked in the long edge feeding direction. (Refer to Chapter 3 APPLIED USE “1. STANDARD FOLDING OF p.3-2).) NON-STANDARD PAPER” (

Table of paper stacking direction

Stacking direction

: Can be used as standard paper : Can be used as non-standard paper × : Cannot be used

When stacking paper on the paper feed tray, take note of the front/back, top/end of the paper. Because the relations between the folding misalignment state and the front/back, top/ end of the paper must also be taken into consideration when checking the finish by test folding.

<Example> When paper (front is gray and back is white) is stacked on the paper feed tray as shown and finished in the following standard folding modes

1. CLEANING THE UNIT

Dirty folding rollers and suction belts can cause problems such as folding misalignment, and paper feed errors. Adherence of paper dust near sensors will also cause misdetection. Therefore clean periodically. Clean the paper feed inlet sensor and paper ejection outlet sensors with canned air recommended for computers, key boards, and similar products.

Prior to cleaning, be sure to disconnect the power cord plug from the outlet. After cleaning, make sure that the areas that were cleaned are completely dry before resuming paper folding operations.

WARNING

Do not use flammable sprays or solvent inside or near the unit (e.g. when cleaning the unit).

Such flammable gas may ignite and cause a fire or combustion. Take precautions against fire and ensure ventilation when using alcohol, and store the alcohol in a safe place after use. Also note that use of other solvents can damage the rubber rollers and resin inside the unit, resulting in malfunctions.
