D.2e Exit Conveyor
The Exit Conveyor is located at the output end of the Folder. The merged
documents exiting the Folder are shingle stacked on the Exit Conveyor. As
each document exits the Folder it passes through the Discharge Sensor. This
signals the Exit Conveyor to index. The stacking wheels rest on the Exit
Conveyor. The stacking wheels rest on the Exit Conveyor functioning as stop
wheels for positioning of the documents. They also apply pressure to glued
areas of the folded document.
Exit Conveyor Adjustment
1. Increase speed of the Exit Conveyor by turning the adjustment knob on
the side of the Exit Conveyor clockwise to separate the documents.
2. Decrease speed of the Exit Conveyor by turning the adjustment knob
counterclockwise to stack the documents closer together.
3. Position the stacking wheels to shingle the finished documents one on top
of the other. With 14” paper position center the stacking wheels at
5 ¼”
measurement to start.

D.2f Side Glue Application Adjustment
The starting point of the side glue is controlled by the location of the side
glue sensor. The side glue sensor signals the trailing edge of the sheet of
paper. When the sheet’s trailing edge passes the sensor, the side glue guns
will activate. Moving this sensor forward, towards the folder, will delay the
starting point of the side glue. Conversely, moving the sensor backwards
(aft), towards the feeder conveyor, will advance the start point of the side
glue. Move the sensor laterally by turning the handle to loosen the sensor on
the shaft. Position the sensor as required. Fore and aft adjustment is
accomplished by positioning the shaft in the channel attached to the inside
of the frame.
On initial setup, place a sheet of paper so the leading edge is just covering
the nozzle of the side glue guns and adjust the side glue sensor so it is
positioned on the trailing edge of the sheet.
Side Glue Sensor
In folding a “C” fold with three equal panels, it is recommended to begin the
side glue 0.25 inches from the sheet’s leading edge and end the side glue
trails at 2/3 the length of the sheet. This will ensure that the entire sides of
the documents are glued. Increasing the “DURATION” time on the “SIDE
