ADJUSTING THE FEED RAILS

The feed rails on your icreaseAIR are designed to adjust easily in case of a problem with

crooked feeding. By loosening the feed rail alignment lock knobs you can move each rail

independently to square them to your stock. To maintain an accurate perf or score, it is

important to get the rails as aligned and snug to the sheet as possible without

“squeezing” the sheet, as this will create drag and cause the sheets to hang up in the

rails. If your crease locations are slightly inconsistent the rails being too snug or tight.

Loosening the rails slightly may be an easy solution to correct this.

To adjust this correctly, use one rail as your reference, the left (operator side). Place

your stock squarely against it and then bring your right rail in and tighten, looking down

at it from the rear. Adjust the rail with the skew adjustment knob so it is squared to the

sheet. Then tighten the lock knob, and place your icreaseAIR in perf mode. Set a sheet

in the feeder, and under the feed wheels, then press run.

Check perf by folding over and aligning the perfed edge.

Perf holes should line up within a blade’s width. If they do not line up, adjust rails

accordingly, moving your left rail first and then adjusting the right rail to square the

sheet. This may take a few attempts, but this adjustment is important to produce quality

perf and score jobs.
