Reset Switch (W)
Overlap
Speed Control (R)
This switch has two functions:
To set the type of feed, either pulse or stream
To zero the total and batch counts
The switch has three positions:
Operating the switch upwards will zero the total count and if part way through a batch, it
will reset the batch count.
After operating the switch upwards, it will spring back to its centre (default) position. In
this position the feeder pauses between each sheet fed, leaving a gap between sheets. This
is called pulse feed.
Operating the switch to its lowest position will change the feed to continuous with the
sheets following directly behind each other. This is called stream feed.
(Note) In the pulse position a gap of 160 mm will be set between each sheet as it is being fed
into the machine. This gap prevents sheets over lapping inside the fold plates, which lessens the
chance of static being generated and will decrease paper jams.
Zigzag / concertina, engineering and gate folds should only be run on pulse. By holding switch
(W) down, the feed mode will switch to stream feed which will feed paper with little or no gap
between the sheets. Stream feed will increase productivity but folding accuracy may be slightly
impaired. Only use stream on letter, half or double parallel folds.
The pulse feed will cope with all types of fold including perforating.
The machine has a built in system that will detect any sheet that overlaps another sheet by at
least 20mm. When this happens, feeding will stop and the main switch will switch off,
preventing serious jams and the display will show 'O-LAP'. Note that this is not a double
detector and will not detect all double sheet feeds. However the overlap system is an indication
of a tendency to double sheet feed and therefore the paper gate should be lowered slightly and
the paper stack should be fanned out more thoroughly.
The machine has variable running speeds, which are selected using the knob (R). Turn the
knob clockwise to increase the speed and anti-clockwise to reduce the speed. The slow speed is
recommended when running work that is difficult to stack, for example when perforating or
folding an engineering type fold.
