10. FOLDING MISALIGNMENT

10-2. Correcting Folding Misalignment Along Vertical Length of Paper

When the folded paper is misaligned along
the vertical length as shown in the figure due
to the paper thickness, type, printing state,
etc., adjust the positions of the folding
stoppers of folding plates 1 and 2 to correct
the misalignment.

<Example of folding misalignment along

vertical length of paper>

Folding misalignment
at this part

Paper ejection direction

Adjust the positions of the folding stoppers using the folding stopper adjusting keys of folding
plates 1 and 2 on the control panel.
Pressing the “+” key moves the folding stoppers of folding plates 1 and 2 in the 

A

 direction of the

figure. Pressing the “–” key moves in the 

B

 direction of the figure.

Each press moves the folding stopper by 0.005".
(One folding stopper is provided inside folding plates 1 and 2 respectively. Folding stoppers
cannot be seen from outside.)

The value corrected using the folding stopper adjusting key is displayed on the right window.
The left window displays “F1” when corrected using the folding plate 1 adjusting key and “F2”
when corrected using the folding plate 2 adjusting key.
