Single fold standard paper according
to the procedure of “9. STANDARD
FOLDING OF STANDARD PAPER”
(

p.23).
1
To prevent folding misalignment along
the sides of the paper and feed paper
smoothly, fold the folded line of the
single-folded paper firmly with the
fingers.
2
Stack the single-folded paper on the
paper feed tray with the folded line
facing the left, and set the paper feed
guides.
Do not stack too many sheets of paper on the paper
feed tray, the amount of which should be about half
the height of the paper feed guide (approx. 1.0").
Push in the paper until the lead edge touches the
paper feed inlet lightly.
3
Open the top cover, move the auxiliary
paper feed ring (movable) to the folded
line of the paper, and secure it.
Move the auxiliary paper feed ring by loosening the set
knob. After moving, tighten the set knob to secure.
4
Set the separating pressure adjusting
dial to “0”.
Set the paper separating pressure as low as possible.
Setting it high will cause the single-folded paper to
open during paper feed, resulting in paper feed error.
Paper separating pressure decreases as the scale
value decreases.
5
Set the paper feed pressure adjusting
lever to “3”.
Set the paper feed pressure within the “3” to “5” range
on the scale.
If paper slips and mis-feed occurs, increase the paper
feed pressure to “4” or “5”.
Paper feed pressure increases as the scale value
increases.
6
Attach the cross folding guide stored
inside the top cover to the paper feed
guide on the left side.
