FOLDING TIPS AND TROUBLE SHOOTING:
SHEETS DIFFICULT TO FEED
DOUBLE SHEET FEEDING
FOLD IS NOT SQUARE OR CONSISTANT
Check that you have not got too many sheets in the feeder. Heavy-coated stock will not feed as
high a pile as for example 80-gsm copier paper.
Make sure the moving side lay is not pushed in too tightly against the paper. Similarly, if the
moving side lay is set too far away from the paper stack, this will allow the air to escape
instead of blowing through the paper.
Make sure that the gap under the paper gate (B) is not set too low.
Turn the Air separation knob (E) to the high position.
Make sure that air distribution knob (D) is set correctly.
If the paper width varies you may need to trim the sheets to the same size.
If the paper is curling upwards the suction drum may not be able to pull the sheet downward to
wrap around the drum for efficient feeding. You may need to bend the sheets downward prior
to loading.
Make sure the gap under the paper gate (B) is not set too high.
Make sure the air distribution knob (D) and the air separation knob (E) are at the correct
setting.
In extreme cases you may need to separate the sheets prior to loading.
Make sure you run on Pulse not Stream.
Check the sheets are all exactly the same size and are square before folding as you can only
fold accurately if the material is consistent.
Make sure you have no foreign bodies such as fragments of torn paper inside the fold plates or
the fold rollers.
Check that the fold plates are locked and located securely and that the tilt mechanism is set to
zero and locked.
Check that the stock is not too heavy, particularly if folding against the grain.
Check that the moving side lay is set up to the paper, without too much gap that will allow the
sheets to twist
