1.1 Scoring
The folder can be used to score a sheet and deliver it flat, or to score a sheet after a fold or folds
have been made.
To ensure accuracy in making right angle folds, always score the sheet where the fold or folds are to
be made. This applies in all instances when a perforator cannot be used.
Various weights of stock with few or numerous folds require a different type of score. Some jobs
require a narrow, sharp score, usually when the folds are few, and a fuller, more rounded score when the
job becomes bulky.
The scoring blade is normally mounted on the upper slitter shaft. Scoring is accomplished by
running the score blade in one of the two grooves of the lower score collar. The sharpness and depth
of score is controlled by which groove the score is made in. The wider groove produces a wider, more
rounded score; while the narrower groove produces a sharper, tighter score. Also adjust scoring depth
using the micrometer adjustment knobs at each end of the slittershafts. The milled notch at the center
of the aluminum block is the nominal center adjustment.
You will find (3) yellow scribe lines on the tie bar at the exit of the first folder station. The yellow
line in the center is the approximate center of the folder and the sheet. The (2) outside yellow lines are
the approximate locations to position the scoring blsdes for a standard 11" x 17" sheet folded down to
a #10 letterfold.
The pullout tires should be close to the scores and at the edges of the sheet.
