OPERATOR MAINTENANCE

1.  It is recommended to let forms cool for one-half hour, from the laser printer, before folding.  This allows 

toner to set on the forms and static electricity to discharge.  A 400 Series Paper Jogger is recommended for 

best results.  The Jogger squares the forms and dissipates heat and static created by laser printers.

2.  Clean in-feed tires and fold rollers with Formax recommended roller cleaner & rejuvenator to remove paper 

dust and toner.  A Formax Cleaner Kit is available from your dealer. A damp cloth with water is the best 

alternative.  

CAUTION:

  Do not use any chemicals other than the roller cleaner & rejuvenator or water.

Fold Rollers

1.   Make sure machine is turned off and unplugged.  All 

folders have four (4) rubber rollers (Fig. 17).

2.   Remove the upper and lower fold plates.

       

3. Using Formax roller cleaner, spray a new cotton cloth 

until the cloth is saturated.  Wipe the wet cloth in a back 

and forth motion making sure to clean the entire surface 

of the fold and seal rollers.  Next, use a dry cloth to wipe 

off excess toner. The cloth should be covered with black 

toner surplus from cleaning the rollers.

4.   Make sure to run 10-15 sheets of blank copy paper  

to ensure all cleaner has been removed from the fold            

rollers.  Running blank sheets will remove any excess 

residue of cleaner on the rollers.
