6.5 Feed Table Adjustment
On the paper feed table there are two guides which
keep the stack of paper properly aligned for feeding into
the folder. Adjust these guides to correspond with the
different widths of paper being fed. (See Figure 6.5-1)
To adjust the paper feed guides, loosen the two side
guide locking knobs on each guide. Slide the guides from
side to side until the inside edge of each guide is aligned
with the number corresponding to the width of the paper
being folded.
Example: For an 8 1/2-in wide sheet, move the side
guides until the inside edges align with the “8 1/2” on the
feed table.
An additional check is to lay a sheet of paper on the
feeder, close to but not touching the side guides. Push the
sheet down into the nip of the fold rolls. Then align the
guide by loosening the adjusting knobs and aligning the
guide so that it is parallel to the edge of the paper. When
one side is square, the other side can be moved into
position.
Tighten the locking knobs to secure the paper guides
in position.
When you load the actual job, you may have to
move these guides slightly to take care of variations in
sheet size. To feed properly, the paper must slide freely
between these guides.
6.6 Air Blow Adjustment
Turn the air blow adjustment on the vacuum/aircontrol
panel fully counterclockwise to the + position. Except for
when very small sheets are being run, the air blow
adjustment is left adjusted for maximum air. (See Figure
6.6-1)
Once the amount of air blow has been selected using the
air blow adjustment, the feeder valve knob may be used to
direct the air (See Figure 6.5-1).
Turn the knob to the right to obtain more blow on the
right side and front of the feed table. Turn the knob to the
left to obtain more blow on the left side and
lessen the front blow.
Turn the vacuum adjustment clockwise all the way
down. This setting is used for most light and medium
papers. Heavy paper will require more vacuum.
7.0 OPERATION
7.1 Loading of Feed Table
Before you can load the paper on the feed table, you
must determine which way the paper is to be loaded by
running a few sample sheets. (Example: printing face up
or face down)
Then you can load a stack of paper no higher than
two inches between the paper feed guides. Let the stack
slide freely down into position between the side guides.
7.2 Starting the Vacuum/Air Feeder
After the vacuum and air adjustments have been
made, start the folder, then start the vacuum/pump.
