4.2.13 Calibration
Proper calibration must exist to obtain acceptable machine operation. Re--calibration of the handwheels may
become necessary when difficulties arise in making the tab size, tab location, plastic size, or correct location
of the plastic in regards to dimensions set on the handwheels.
4.2.13.1 Prepare for Calibration Procedures
Prior to attempting the calibration procedures, it is important to have proper materials and ensure that the
initial settings on the handwheels correspond to the size of the paper being used.
Paper size is not critical during normal run cycles of the machine. Tabs that are slightly “off” can be corrected
by adjustment of the handwheels to correspond to the position of the tab or plastic. The printing can be off
due to to improper printing registration or improper sheet cutting which can also be adjusted with the
handwheels.
The handwheel should be set as accurate as possible during the calibration procedures. Therefore, paper
size must be accurate. Measure the paper stock prior to preforming calibrations. Stock sizes vary and can
be under or over by as much as 1/16th or more of an inch. This will not affect machine operation, if the
printing is perfect but positioning of the dials must be corrected when stock is reversed to do corresponding
tab positions.

Fig. 4-32. Set Handwheels for Tabs
There are FIVE handwheels located on the front of the machine.
●
Plastic Position Register Handwheel: sets the paper position to the plastic position. It is measured from
the edge of paper furthermost away from the operator to the center of the plastic being applied.
●
Plastic Size Handwheel: sets the length of plastic being applied to the paper.
●
Tab Position Handwheel: positions the paper to be tab cut. It is measured from the edge of the paper
furthermost from the operator to the center of the tab. The sheet is pushed 1/4 inch when both Pile Feed
and Reregister Handwheels are set to the same settings.
●
Tab Cutter Handwheel: sets the size of the tab cut on the sheet.
●
Pile Feeder Handwheel: when pulled out, will lower the paper supports to reload paper stock.
