INSTALLATION
2 Installation
2.1 Unpacking
Carefully unpack the Model 1611 folder and
accessories. Place the Model 1611 on a
flat, level surface where it is to be used. It is
necessary to have a clear area at the exit end
of the folder to place the exit ramp. Place all
of the packing material back in the shipping
box and store the box for any future shipment
of the Model 1611. Inspect the Model 1611
and all accessories for shipping damage.
If any damage is found, contact the carrier
immediately.
2.2 Feed Table
The Model 1611 is equipped with a variable-
position, non-removable feed table. Locate
the Feed Table Extension in the accessory
package. Install by lining its 2 protrusions with
the corresponding slots on the feed table and
inserting the protrusions into the slots. When
it is correctly installed in position, it will lay
flat
on the feed table (See Figure 4). The Feed
Table Extension must be installed for proper
operation.

2.3 Feed Table
Align the tabs on the exit ramp with the
corresponding slots on the conveyor and drop
the exit ramp into place (See Figure 4).
2.4 Fold Tables
Step #1: Slide the front slot opening of the
fold table onto the inner set of pins (closest
to the folding rollers).
Step #2: lower the fold table onto the outer
set of pins. Repeat Steps 1 & 2 for the 2nd
Fold Table installation (See Figure 5).
2.5 Paper Guides
The Paper Guides are self-centering. To adjust
the Paper Guides, loosen both thumbscrews
slightly and slide the Paper Guides to the
desired position. For best results, load a
stack of paper and adjust the Paper Guides
up to the paper. Once the Paper Guides are
in the correct position, snug the thumbscrews
down to hold the paper Guides from moving.
DO NOT over tighten the thumbscrews (See
Figure 6).
The paper stack should be able to slide
between the Paper Guides without binding,
and at the same time, there should be very
little play between the Paper Guides and the
paper stack.
2.6 Loading Paper
Depress down and hold the Feed Table
by pushing down on the top of one of the
Paper Guides. Place a maximum of 150
sheets of 20# paper between the Paper
Guides, and push the stack of paper under
the Feed Wheel. The paper stack must rest
straight and square against the Feed Bridge
(See Figure 7). Once the paper stack is
correctly positioned, release the Feed Table
and allow Feed Table to lift the paper stack
up against the Feed Wheel.
2.7 Skew Adjustment
The Skew Adjustment controls the angle at
which the paper is fed into the rollers. Skew
adjustment is factory set to be square with the
rollers and should not need adjusting. Skew
adjustment is only necessary when the paper
is not cut squarely or has irregular edges.
If the paper is not folded square (corners
of the paper stick out once folded), rotate
the Skew Adjustment knob a
small amount
clockwise or counter-clockwise. The direction
the knob is rotated is dependent on the skew
direction. See Figure 1 for the location of the
Skew Adjustment Knob.
2.8 Setting Fold Styles
Before attempting to set-up a fold, you should
familiarize yourself with the six designated fold
style icons provided on the rulers located on
each fold table (Figure 10). These icons are
arranged in columns on the feed table rulers
that represent the three most common paper
sizes (Figure 8 and Figure 9).
The icons in each column are color coded
for clarity. NOTE: LTR=8 1/2 X 11” (Green),
LGL=8 1/2 X 14” (Purple), and A4=210mm X
297mm (Gold).
2.9 Moving the Fold Table Paper Stops
In order to successfully set the fold tables,
you must know both the size of the paper
being folded and the type of fold desired. After
you’ve determined the type of fold desired,
identify its icon on each fold table (Figure 8
and Figure 9).
Loosen the fold stop thumbscrew on either
fold table, and using the rulers to gauge the
fold length, move the fold stop until it aligns
with the desired fold style icon or measurement,
and then retighten the thumbscrew.
Repeat the process for the other fold table.
Make sure the proper colored icon is used for
the appropriate paper size.
Special Notes - The second fold table is
always in the same location for the half fold,
regardless of the size of paper being folded.
Also note the blanked area in the second fold
table ruler.
DO NOT place the 2nd paper stop
in the blanked area of the fold ruler or a paper
jam will result.
