ADJUSTING THE PAPER GATE
Adjust the height of the paper gate using knob (B) (clockwise to lower, anti-clockwise to raise) so
that the clearance above the vacuum roller is two thicknesses of the paper to be folded. Do not
make this adjustment, when the face of the paper gate is above a hole in the vacuum roller, if it is,
rotate the vacuum roller by hand to bring the metal between holes below the paper gate.
On this machine, the paper gate is fixed in an optimum position and cannot be moved backwards
and forwards (horizontally).
SETTING THE SUCTION SLOT
The suction slot inside the suction drum, may be adjusted by releasing knob (C) and swinging the
knob in the desired position. Lighter stocks including bond will run best with the knob set to the
left. For heavier stocks and curled-up stock, move the knob (C) to the right until a satisfactory
position is obtained.
SETTING THE VACUUM BLEED (L).
Situated on the front of the feed table, the Vacuum Bleed Knob is used to allow more control of the
suction on the vacuum drum.
When light weight paper of 90gsm and lower is being fed through the machine turn the knob
clockwise to reduce the possibility of marking, or damage to the leading edge of the paper.
SETTING THE ADJUSTABLE SIDE LAY
Place a single sheet of the job onto the loading table.
Release the side lay clamp screws (A) and slide the side lay just up to the sheet so that there is
about half a millimetre clearance or 1/64 inch
Tighten the clamp screws.
SETTING THE BACK STOP (F)
This is placed up to the end of the paper stack and clamped to the moving side lay (G).
SETTING THE AIR DISTRIBUTION KNOB (D)
Depending on the length of the sheet, the air distribution knob (D) should be rotated to supply
the air to the correct ports as follows -
Position 1 - This is for short sheets A5 or 8" long with only port 1 open.
Position 2 - This is for sheets A4 or 11" long with the front port and port 2 open.
Position 3 - This is for the longest sheets A3 or 17" with the front port and port 3 open.
Position 0 - In this position, only port 2 is open and can be used on long sheets
with the curl up where you need to blow air into the centre of the stack.
These setting positions are only a guide and some experimentation may obtain a better result
with non-standard settings.
(Note) Position 1 feeds most paper stocks and sizes; thus the air distribution knob can be
left in this position for most jobs.
SETTING THE AIR SEPARATION KNOB (E)
This knob controls the amount of air that is fed to the paper. The machine would normally run
with this knob set at the 'High' position. If the machine is run with less than approximately 20
sheets on the loading table, or running the job to the last sheet, this knob should be set to the low
position.
