SETUP

Installing Upper and Lower Fold Plates, and Power Cord

Upper Fold Plate Pins

Be sure the plate sets firmly on the locating pins (Fig 1a & 1b). Lift the top cover and slide the upper fold plate under the top cover pins onto the fold plate pins. Push down on the fold plate to lock it in position.

Lift the In-feed extension tray and lock it into place. Then slide the bottom fold plate up and in until it meets the rear locating pins then push down to set in place.

Lower Fold Plate Pins

Plug the power cord into the left receptacle on the back side of the machine (Fig 1c).

Assemble the conveyor. Attach the extension tray to the end of the conveyor using the three extension tray screws (Fig 2a).

Insert power cord to receptacle on the underside of the conveyor (Fig 2b)

Remove catch tray and install the mounting shoulder screws into the two screw holes (Fig 2c).

Open the top cover of the sealer and remove the top fold plate. Then slide the conveyor into position aligning the keyholes on the back of the conveyor with the shoulder screws, slide in and down to lock into position.

Install the out-feed nip wheels into the two holes located at the out-feed of the sealer (Fig 2d). Insert the side of the rod with the spring first, push in and then insert the other side. Reinstall the top fold plate and close the top cover.

Plug the conveyor into the right receptacle on the back of the pressure sealer (Fig 3).

OPERATION

Place power switch in the “ON” position.

After determining the fold type (see pg 6 “Determining Fold Type”) set the Upper and Lower fold plates.

To set the fold stop position, squeeze the fold stop lever and slide it to the desired location on the upper and lower fold plates (Fig 4). Align the pointed part of the stop plate with the desired marks on the decal and release the lever. Fine adjustments can be made with the adjustment knob at the end of the plate (Fig 5).

NOTE: When setting a “Half” fold, remove the bottom fold plate, turn it 180 degrees and insert with the fold deflector leading (Fig 6). The plate must be firmly reinstalled on the locating pins.

Set the catch tray (See step 5b if using a conveyor). Slide the catch tray in or out to align the appropriate fold/form setting on the “Fold/form size decal” with the alignment decal located on the non-operator side frame (Fig 7a).

Set the conveyor out feed wheels. Align the center of the out-feed stacker wheels with the appropriate fold/ form setting on the “Fold/form size decal” (Fig 7b).

Set the paper side guides for the forms being used and lock in position (Fig 8a).

Place a form between the side guides. Adjust the side guides by loosening knobs on top, then sliding them toward or away from each other so that the form is snug but still lies flat .

Leave equal spacing between the guides and side frame on both sides to help ensure that the forms feed squarely into the pressure sealer (Fig 8b).

Lift the in-feed tray lever, then neatly stack paper on the in-feed tray under the feed tires and release the tray lever (Fig 9).

Equal spacing between side frame and guides on both sides

DETERMINING FOLD TYPE

Two Standard Folds 11” “Z” & 11” “C”

SETTING CUSTOM FOLDS

Example 1: Uneven “Z”

Measure the length of panel “A”

Adjust the upper fold plate so that the fold stop lines up with the measurements of the panel “A” i.e. if panel “A” is 5 1/4” long slide the stop plate up or down so that it lines up with the 5 1/4” mark on the fold plate.

Measure the length of panel “B”

Adjust the lower fold plate so that the stop plate lines up with the measurement of panel “B”

Load forms and press test. If folds are too long or too short adjust accordingly.

Panel A

Panel B

Example 2: Uneven “C”

Measure the length of panel “A” & “B”

Adjust the upper fold plate so that the fold stop lines up with the measurements of panel “A” & “B”. i.e. if panel “A” & “B” are 10 1/2” long slide the stop plate up or down so that it lines up with the 10 1/2” mark on the fold plate.

Measure the length of panel “B”

Adjust the lower fold plate so that the stop plate lines up with the measurement of panel “B

OPERATOR MAINTENANCE

1. I t is recommended to let forms cool for one-half hour, from the laser printer, before folding. This allows toner to set

on the forms and static electricity to discharge. A 402 Series Jogger is recommended for best results. The Jogger squares the forms and dissipates heat and static electricity created by laser printers.

If toner builds up on the metal sealer rollers clean them with a lint-free cloth dampened sparingly with a mild household cleaner.

3. Clean in-feed tires and fold rollers with dealer recommended roller cleaner & rejuvenator to remove paper dust and toner. A Cleaner Kit is available from your dealer. A damp cloth with water is the best alternative.

CAUTION: Do not use any chemicals other than the roller cleaner & rejuvenator or water.

METAL SEAL ROLLERS CLEANING PROCEDURE:

1. Make sure machine is turned off and unplugged. All folders have four (4) rubber rollers (Fig. 11).
2. Open the top cover and remove the upper fold plate to access the seal rollers.
3. Using a mild household cleaner, spray a new cotton cloth until the cloth is saturated. Wipe the wet cloth in a back and forth motion and rotate the rollers by hand making sure to clean the entire surface of the seal rollers. Next use a dry cloth and wipe off excess toner. The cloth should be covered with black toner surplus from cleaning the rollers.
4. Run 10-15 sheets of blank copy paper through the folder/sealer to ensure all cleaner has been removed from the fold rollers. Running blank sheets will remove any excess residue of cleaner on the rollers.

IN-FEED TIRES AND FOLD ROLLERS

CLEANING PROCEDURE:

1. Make sure machine is turned off and unplugged. The sealers have three (3) feed tires and four (4) rubber rollers (Fig. 12a & 12b).
2. Open the top covers and remove the upper and lower fold plates to access the tires and rollers.
3. Using roller cleaner, spray a new cotton cloth until the cloth is saturated. Wipe the wet cloth in a back and forth motion and rotate the tires / rollers by hand making sure to clean the entire surface of the feed tire / fold rollers. Next use a dry cloth and wipe off excess toner. The cloth should be covered with black toner surplus from cleaning the tires / rollers.
4. Run 10-15 sheets of blank copy paper through the folder/sealer to ensure all cleaner has been removed from the fold rollers. Running blank sheets will remove any excess residue of cleaner on the rollers.

CLEARING PAPER JAMS:

WARNING: Turn off machine and unplug cord from its receptacle

1. If a jam occurs between the metal rollers remove any remaining forms from the hopper. Open the top cover and remove the upper fold plate. Remove the jam clearing handle (located under the upper fold table) apply the handle to the upper metal roller (Fig13) and turn clockwise until the paper jam is clear. NOTE: Do not turn the roller counter-clockwise to force the forms to exit: rollers may be damaged. Remove the damaged form, return tool to holder and reinstall upper fold plate.
2. Reinstall cover and press the black reset button (Fig14).
