3.2 Punched Sheet Quality
All sheets must be punched by the GBC StreamPunch Ultra prior to being
bound into books by the eWire. If punch alignment, skew, or
backgauge does not meet the specification in Section 3.2.1, it may be
necessary to make adjustments to the StreamPunch Ultra in order to
ensure proper function of eWire. Use the following procedure to check
the positions of the punched holes.
1. Run a sheet through the punch without binding. Do not perform
this test with A5 or STMT, the A4 and LTR adjustment will correct
issues with all sizes.
2. Place the sheet on the Punched Hole Position Check Tool found
on the inside of the Feeder Door.
3. Position the corner of the sheet on
the Punched Hole Position Check
Tool as shown depending on what
size paper you are printing with (A4
align with right corner, LTR align with
left corner). The following image
shows a square punched sheet. If
you are using a circular punch use
the appropriate markings above.
Position the edge of a sheet so that
the horizontal and vertical black lines
are completely visible, and check if
the black circles or squares are
completely visible through the
punched holes.
4. It should be obvious if the punch backgauge, alignment, or skew
are not set correctly or if the holes have fuzzy edges or chads.
Refer to the StreamPunch Ultra Service Manual to correct these
issues before proceeding.
5. If sheets are being fed from a separate device downstream of the
printer (i.e. an inserter), verify correct punched hole positions on
those sheets as well. Refer to the StreamPunch Ultra Service
Manual to correct any issues before proceeding.
6. If using tabs or clear covers, verify correct punched hole positions
on those sheets as well. Refer to the StreamPunch Ultra Service
Manual to correct any issues before proceeding.
7. If the backgauge, alignment, and skew are set correctly on the
StreamPunch Ultra for all media being used return to the
troubleshooting procedure that guided you here. Note that if a
different die is used or if the docking position of the StreamPunch
Ultra is changed these steps may need to be repeated.
