6. PRECAUTIONS BEFORE USE
6-1. PAPER TO BE USED
•
Straighten folded or curled paper before use.
•
Make sure that the ink on the paper has dried up properly
before use.
If the ink has not dried properly, it may dirty the
machine, and cause other problems such as dirtying the
folded surface with ink.
•
If curled paper is used, depending on the environmental
condition(temperature, humidity), paper quantity, paper
type, paper couch condition, folding speed, etc. it may
not flow smoothly into the folding plate or may not be
folded properly.
•
Should such problems occur, reduce the folding speed or
straighten the paper before continuing use.
6-2. PRECAUTIONS FOR STACKING PAPER
•
10
Problems such as folding slippage and paper jam etc.
will ariseif the paper is not stacked neatly on the paper
feed table. Therefore, be sure to stack the paper neatly.
6. PRECAUTIONS BEFORE USE
•
If the paper is not stacked properly lengthwise, mis-feed
or chain feed may occur.
•
When stacking just a few sheets of paper on the paper
feed table, lower the paper set lever while pressing the

Start folding operations hereafter using the normal procedure.
WHAT TO DO WHEN :
When single-folding paper, if the folding stopper (rough adjustment knob) of second folding plate is not at the correct
position, the following problems may occur according to the type of paper used (thickness, paper quality, etc.)
If the paper is thin (no hardness) ........ A crease about 0.59 inch from the folded line of the paper parallel to it will be formed.
0.59inch
If the above problem occurs, it means that the stopping position of the stopper is too apart. Rotate the fine adjustment knob to
the left until the folding stopper lightly but completely presses against it.

7. OPERATION PROCEDURES
7-3. SINGLE-FOLDING HARD PAPER NEATLY
When single-folding drawing paper or fine
quality thick paper (127g/m2), the edge of
the folding line of the paper or a part near
the center may bend due to environmental
conditions (temperature, humidity), paper
size, paper jamming, paper size, paper
fiber direction, etc. and not because the
unit has malfunctioned.
In such cases, perform the following
procedure.
1
The stopping position of the stopper
is too close. Rotate the fine
adjustment knob of folding plate 2 to
the right by 1/4 turn so that the
stopper is appropriately apart from it.

Note :
If thin paper is single-folded with the folding stopper
of second folding plate moved to the position for thick
paper, the thin paper will not be folded neatly,
Therefore, after completing single-folding operations
for thick paper, be sure to move the stopper back to its
original normal position.
Folding plate 2
7-4. DOUBLE FOLDING THICK PAPER
•
When thick paper(above 104.7g/m2)
such as fine quality paper, etc. is
folded into fours, its thickness may
cause its folding section to open
when ejected to the stacker, which
consequently will prevent it from
being able to pass through the
stacker rollers and result in paper
jam.
