Handling Paper

Paper used

• Make sure that the printing ink on the paper has dried completely prior to use.
• Wet ink or ink that is not completely dried may stain the folding roller causing trouble such as smearing on paper.
• Use of paper printed with special types of ink may cause the folding roller to swell or deform, and folding misalignment may occur.
• Paper may not be fed smoothly into the folding plate or deformed folding may occur depending on diferent environmental factors (temperature, humidity), paper ream weight, paper type, paper grain direction if curled paper is used. Make sure to latten curled paper or paper with folded lines before use.

Separate the sheets of paper well before stacking them.

Precautions on stacking paper

Stack paper striking the leading edge of paper lightly at the shutter.

If there is some clearance between the leading edge of paper and shutter, the paper detecting sensor does not function properly.

paper detecting Paper feed tray sensor

Do not stack the sheets of paper on the paper feed tray with the sides of sheets unaligned or some sheets protruding from the stack.

Processing with sheets unaligned on the right or left side may cause such trouble as folding misalignment and jamming.

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

Processing with sheets unaligned on the lead and trail edges may lead to unstable feed causing such trouble as mis-feed and double-feed.

Stacking the Paper

Before stacking paper

Checking the front/back,top/end of paper

Check the “front/back” and “top/end” of paper when stacking paper on the paper feed tray. Check for folding misalignment, and check “front/back” and “top/end” of paper when checking the inished fold after test folding. When paper is stacked with the gray surface on the obverse side and white surface on the reverse side on the paper feed tray, and processing is completed in the standard folding mode, the folded paper is as shown in the igure.

Stacking paper

Do not put fingers inside during operation. Keep away long hair, ties, jewelry and loose clothing.

It could cause injury.

Loosen the guide ixing screw.

Stack paper on the paper feed tray.

Push in the paper until the lead edge touches the shutter below the paper feed inlet slightly.

The round hole (upper side) on the paper feed guide indicates the maximum paper stacking height (50 mm/1.97 inches).

50 mm/ 1.97 inches

Maximum paper stacking height: 50 mm/1.97 inches

Chapter 2 Basic Operation

Adjust the paper feed guide to match the paper size.

Set the paper feed guide in such a way that it touches the paper lightly.

• Do not press the paper with the paper feed guides too strongly. Otherwise, paper feed errors such as mis-feed will occur.
• If the guides are positioned incorrectly, the automatic paper size detection function will not work, and the test key and start key,etc. will not operate. (p.2-5)

Tighten the guide ixing screws.

Make sure to tighten the guide ixing screws on both right and left sides. If the screws are not ixed, the paper feed guide moves during operation, and folding misalignment may occur in the right and left direction.

Set the trail edge guide unit to the rear end of paper.

Set the trail edge guide unit so that it will be in contact with the paper lightly.

The trail edge guide unit must be set in place without fail. When starting the machine without setting the back edge stack guide, the paper will be blown by separating air.

Chapter 2 Basic Operation

When processing long paper, use the plate unit and side guide unit. Range of paper length: A3 (LGR) or more, or back edge of paper is positioned at more than two-third of auxiliary paper feed tray.

Set the plate unit onto the auxiliary paper feed tray.

Be sure to set the plate unit so that it does not extend beyond the rear end of paper.

Attach the side guide unit on each side of paper.

Attach the side guide unit leaving some clearance between the side guide unit and paper. However, if the side guide unit is set leaving too much clearance between the side guide and paper, accuracy of feeding may be lowered, and folding misalignment may be apt to occur. If the side guide unit is set striking at the paper, double-feed or mis-feed may be caused.

Automatic rise/descent of the paper feed tray

• When paper is stacked on the paper feed tray, the paper feed guides are set, and the start or test key is pressed, the paper feed tray rises automatically.

When using large or heavy paper, the paper feed tray may become over stacked and may not be able to rise due to paper weight. In such cases, stack less paper.
