OPERATING HINTS

1. Some paper has a natural curve. Sometimes thia curve tends 

to catch air and sail. If this occurs try running them upside down.

2.  Perforations  vary  in  strength.  If  the  forms  are  bursting 

hard, tearing or breaking behind the tear bar, vary the Carriage 

Adjusting Knob setting up to 1/2” ahead or behind the actual form 

size setting.

3.  Multiple  part  forms  with  hard-glued  edge  can  be  burst  by 

positioning the tear point over the glued edge.

4. The Stacker Wheels should not stop the form until it clears the 

Snap Rollers.

5. Carbonized forms will generally stack better when ran with the 

coated side up.
