2.3 Paper Guide Adjustment
Note: the folder is factory adjusted for standard 8.5" paper.
The paper guides feature a dual-purpose adjustment; paper width and skew. These are accomplished with
thumbscrews
(
Fig. 7
)
. Skew adjustment is factory set to be square with the rollers and should not need adjust-
ing. Skew adjustment is only necessary when the paper is not
cut squarely or has irregular edges
To adjust the paper guide width and/or skew, follow these
steps:
1. Loosen both paper guide thumbscrews slightly and slide
the guides outward.
2. Lift the retarder assembly with the single sheet lever
(Fig.
14)
and slide a single sheet of the desired paper size under
it. While holding the retarder assembly up, nestle the sheet
gently into the rollers until it is in the center of the feed table
and square with the rollers. Lower the retarder assembly to hold the sheet in place.
3. Slide the paper guides up to the edges of the sheet a lock securely in place with the thumbscrews. Leave
a small gap (1/64" or .4mm) along the edges of the sheet and guides as crowded paper will not feed cor-
rectly.
4. If the guides are not parallel with the paper edges, correct by turning the skew adjustment thumbscrew
slightly. Be aware that skew adjustment is best accomplished after setting the fold tables and running the
folder (refer to
3.1
).
2.4 Setting Fold Styles
Before attempting to set-up a fold, the operator should familiarize
themselves with the five designated fold style icons provided on
the rulers located on each fold table
(Fig. 8)
. These icons are
arranged in columns on the feed table rulers that represent the
three common paper sizes
(Fig. 9)
.
