MAINTENANCE
Folding machines need to be cleaned on a regular basis. Ink and toner are transferred to the rollers.
Dust and paper bits accumulate. All paper is dusted with powder that keeps the sheets separate. All
this can build up on feed wheels and rollers in folding machines. Once it does, the wheels and rollers
cannot grip the paper.
To clean the machine,
1. Make sure that all paper bits are out of the paper path. A can of compressed air is handy for this
purpose.
2. Wipe the wheels and rollers with a cloth that has been moistened with rubber roller cleaner
(available at office supply stores) or rubbing alcohol. Get rubber roller cleaner. Turn the rollers by
hand to get all of the surface.
3. Remove and inspect the feed trays to make sure there is nothing in the path of the paper, and
that they are installed correctly.
4. If paper is not feeding well, check the plastic separator under the middle feed wheel. Both the
separator and the feed wheel wear over time and may have to be replaced.
