FOLDING TIPS AND TROUBLE SHOOTING:
SHEETS DIFFICULT TO FEED
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.
DOUBLE SHEET FEEDING
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.
FOLD IS NOT SQUARE OR CONSISTENT
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 roller tilt mechanism is
set to zero and locked.

SENSOR CLEANING
The sensors to detect and count the sheets are located on the ends of the ball holder just next to
the fold roller unit. If the counter is failing the sensor can be accessed for cleaning by
removing the roller assembly as described on page 32. Clean by using a soft brush or damp
cloth.
FOLD PLATES - MAINTENANCE
The fold plates can be opened up for maintenance, removing paper jams, cleaning, etc by
removing the two bolts shown below. The fold plate can then be hinged open.
