Time to set up a job…..
We are now ready to set up a job on the folder. Ask your customer for a sample of the job he/she wants
to run. This will give you, the sheet size and type fold. Let’s take for example an 8 ½ “ x 11” letter fold.
The example shown is with the header folded in.
1. Loosen the locking screws on the feeder side guides. Turn the
knobs on the back of the Side guides and set them on 8 ½ on the
scale, actual 4 ½ “ from the center of the feeder. Lay a sheet of
paper you are running between the guides and it should slide down
but not have very much movement side to side. This is the key to
good folding. IF THE GUIDES ARE TOO TIGHT, IT WILL NOT
FEED WELL. If the guides are to loose, the fold will vary. If a fold
is always crooked, usually the cause is that the side guides are not
square with the number one fold roller. See appendix A for
correction. Set the magnetized angle stop at the back of the sheet.
2. Insert two thickness of paper between the caliper tab and the
sucker wheel. Turn the gap knob counter-clockwise to tighten or
clockwise to loosen. Set the gap knob until there is a slight drag on the
paper. Remove the paper and the correct gap is now set. When you load
the feeder, the printing will be up.
3. The front blow will normally be set properly. If not, it should be set so it
separates the bottom sheets. The adjustment knob on the side of the
feeder is to set the blow in the side guide and front blow. 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 and reduce the
front blow.
4. Look on the folding chart on the stacker tray and locate 8 ½ x 11, fifth column over and letter fold
second line down. It shows the first fold plate is set on E, and the
second fold plate is set on E. On the fold plates approximately 3 ½ “
from the nose of the fold plate are the letter E (on both sides,) in a red
circle with a line from it. Depress the course adjustment knobs and
move the paper stop until it is on or close to the red line out
from the letter E. At the end away from the rolls of the
adjustment rods are micro adjustment knobs. You can move
these knobs to align the paper stops on the red line. Both fold
plates should have the open end toward the fold rollers and
the deflector away from the fold rollers. Both fold plate stops
are adjusted the same way.
