Setting the Adjustable Side Lay
Place the paper stack on to the loading table and slide up to the fixed side lay and paper
gate. Release the clamps located at each end of the side lay and slide up towards the
paper stack as demonstrated in Fig. 1. Allow a gap of approximately 0.5mm (1/64 inch)
between the paper and the side lay.
Setting the Back Stop
Position the backstop and slide up towards the paper stack allowing a gap (as specified
in the above step).
Setting the Air Distribution
Depending on the length of the sheet to be creased, the air distribution knob (see Fig. 2) can
be rotated to various positions in order to supply air to different ports. Position 2 is
recommended for most sheet sizes. However, a better result may be obtained by using
the settings below or by experimentation.
Position
0
-
For sheets longer than A3 (17”) in order to supply air to the centre of the
stack, ports 2 and 3 open.
1
-
For A5 sheets or 8 inches long, ports 1 and 2 open.
2
-
For A4 sheets or 11 inches long, ports 1 and 3 open.
3
-
For sheets longer than A3 (17”) in order to supply air evenly along the stack,
ports 1 and 4 open.
Setting the Air Separation Pressure
To control the amount of air supplied to the ports, the air separation knob can be rotated
clockwise to decrease the pressure or anti-clockwise to increase the pressure.

Adjusting the Paper Gate
Set the height of the Paper Gate to approximately two thicknesses of paper, by turning the
disc j. An excessive gap is a most likely cause of double sheet feeding.
This setting is only intended as a guide, for instance, sheets with an upward curl will
require this setting to be increased.
Setting the Suction Slot
The suction slot is located inside the vacuum roller and can be adjusted by releasing and
moving the suction knob horizontally in either direction to the required position.
For light stocks set the knob to the left and for heavier stocks set the knob to the right.
