OUTPUT SETUP
You will have to set up an output process that works for your jobs.
FOR LARGER FOLDED PAPER
For paper folded into 2 or 3 panels, set up the output tray on the Knife folder, with wheels and
extension. Follow the procedure shown on page 4 and 5 by installing the output tray, T mount with
roller wheels and the tray extension. Start with the wheels toward the end of the output tray and
move them up until you get the paper folding into a neat stack. It is then taken off the tray a stack at
a time by the operator.
FOR SMALLER FOLDED PAPER
We highly recommend a stacker for smaller folds. This will allow you to set the machine to pause
after a certain number, e.g. 100, remove that set and place a rubber band around it, push the stop
plate back into position, and have the machine automatically start on the next set.
Without the stacker, you will have to set up a container to receive the output. For paper folded
lengthwise in more than thirds, configure the output conveyor to dump into a container and then
manually stack them. We have found that it takes about 2 minutes to automatically fold and
manually stack 100 pieces, about 1 minute to fold and 1 minute to stack. So, you should be able to
process at the rate of around 2500 or more per hour allowing for 10 minutes per hour to load the
machine. This timing was for letter size paper, 4 panel fan fold, followed by a half cross fold.
You may be able to devise other output methods for your particular situation.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If the problem is with the PH-17, see troubleshooting above for it. If you are having trouble with the
second machine, follow these steps.
1. Check that the comm cables are attached properly
2. Check that the knife folder is properly placed with the notches on the bar of the PH-14.
3. Check that the speed of the Knife folder is set at V7.
4. Check that the red button is in the raised position. The down position is emergency stop.
5. Turn both folders off and then back on.
6. If your cross fold is not coming out straight, it may not be centered in the feed tray. It is hitting one
side of the guides in the knife folder.
7. If you have a jam in the knife folder, you can press the red button in the control panel to run just
the knife folder to clear it. Press it again to stop.
If this does not solve the problem, call us at 800.520.6008. It will be helpful if you have a phone that
can send us video.
