8. When selecting staple and fold, or fold only the configuration of the
balls in the ball cage is important. The purpose is to apply enough
pressure on the set to ensure proper alignement against the fold stop
before the set is being folded. By doing that the set will be correctly
folded at the middle of the set. The Model 102 is delivered with glass
balls at the left side and plastic balls at the right side of the ball cage
which should cover most jobs.
Depending on the number of sheets in each set and the stiffness of the
papers used you might need to change the configuration. In the tool
box you can find 2 steel balls, 2 glass balls and 2 plastic balls.
The heaviest configuration, for several sheets with high stiffness, is 2
steel balls at the left side and 2 glass balls at the right side. The light-
est configuration, when running just a few sheets with low stiffness, is
plastic balls at the left only.
If your booklets comes out with the staples on the back of the booklet
the configuration is to heavy. To many and/or to heavy balls allowed the
set to buckle (travel too far) before it was folded.
If your booklets comes out with the staples on the front, and/or with a
skew fold, the configuration is to light. By using not enough and/or to
light balls the set did not travel all the way down to the fold stop and
was not aligned correctly.
