10. FOLDING MISALIGNMENT
After completing folding operations,
return the skew correction knob to the
standard position.
The position at which the round hole of the paper feed
tray and pin match is the standard position.

Depending on the paper type, thickness, printing state, processing speed, etc., paper of the same
size may be folded differently and folding misalignment may occur.
Folding misalignment consists of two types; “folding misalignment along the sides of the paper”
and “folding misalignment along the vertical length of the paper”. Other than this, “deformed
folding” may also occur due to paper characteristics, etc.
The following describes how to correct folding misalignments and deformed folding.
<Example of folding misalignment along sides of paper>
Rotate the skew correction knob and
adjust.
When the folding misalignment is as shown in Figure
A, rotate the knob to the right (clockwise).

Before adjusting with the skew correction
knob, check that the paper feed guides are
set correctly. Gaps between the paper and
paper feed guides will cause folding
misalignment along the sides to occur
easily.

10-1. Correcting Folding Misalignment
Along Sides of Paper
When the folded paper is misaligned along
the sides as shown in the figure due to slight
misalignment when the paper was trimmed,
paper printing state, dirty folding roller, etc.,
correct using the skew correction knob of the
paper feed tray.
