SQUARING THE FEED RAILS

The constant fine tuning of the rails will make it necessary to bring the rails back to true

“square”. To do this, take a sheet of 8 1/2 x 11” cover stock and place it in the feed

table against the operator side guide. Pressing the sheet against the rail, slide the rail

over so that the front edge of the stock lines up to the front edge of the feed table.

Loosen the feed rail adjustment lock knob, and use the skew adjustment knob to adjust

the rail so that the sheet is aligned with the left to right with the edge. Once this is

done, slide the opposite side guide into position and adjust it to the edge of the sheet.

Your rails should now feed the sheet perfectly aligned providing a straight perf or score.

MICRO SKEW ADJUSTMENT

The micro skew adjustment will allow for the rear adjustment of the feed rails. It

adjusts both of the rear feed rails at the same time. This makes it easier to adjust for

and straighten the perf or score.

SETTING THE AUTOMATIC FEEDER

For efficient Auto-feeding, the setting of the caliper to the vacuum wheel is very

important. Use a piece of the stock to be run as a “feeler gauge”. Place a

sheet under the feed wheels, turn the feed wheel adjustment screw

(Counterclockwise to raise, clockwise to lower) so that the paper can slip freely under

the wheels. The feed wheels should be barely touching the stock. If during the feeding

you begin to get doubles, lower the feed wheels just enough to stop the double

sheeting. The paper between the friction plate and the auto feed wheel must move

freely and should not be gripped.
