Factory"Calibration"of"1620"Gapsets"&"Field/Service"Fold"Roll"Replacement:"
1. The"proper"fold"roll"gapset"calibration"sequence"is"as"follows:"
"
a) #1"fold"roll"to"main"fold"roll"
b) #2"fold"roll"to"main"fold"roll"
c) #3"fold"roll"to"#2"fold"roll"
d) #4"fold"roll"to"#3"fold"roll"
e) #5"fold"roll"to"#4"fold"roll"
This"sequence"of"setting"the"fold"rolls"must"be"followed,"as"not"doing"so"may"result"in"improper"
calibration"of"the"fold"rolls"causing"inaccurate/crooked"folds."
2. Ensure"that"there"is"an"equal"gap"on"both"the"operator"and"nonHoperator"sides"between"all"fold"
rolls."This"gap"only"needs"to"be"large"enough"to"allow"a"single"sheet"thickness"of"20#"bond"paper"
to"freely"be"slid"between"the"rolls."
"
H To"increase"the"gap"between"the"fold"rolls,"turn"the"gapset"knob"clockwise"
"
H To"decrease"the"gap"between"the"fold"rolls,"turn"the"gapset"knob"counterHclockwise."
"
3. Place"(1)"1”"wide"strip"of"20#"bond"paper"towards"the"outer"portion"of"the"main"and"#1"fold"rolls"
ensuring"that"the"paper"is"making"full"contact"with"the"urethane"bands"of"the"fold"rolls."
"
"
As"you"place"each"strip"of"paper"into"the"proper"fold"rolls"that"you"are"calibrating"the"gapsets"
for,"it"is"helpful"to"turn"the"gapset"knob"counte r Hclockwise"until"the"strip"of"paper"is"being"held"
lightly"by"the"fold"rolls.""
H While"placing"the"strip"of"paper"on"the"operator"side"of"the"fold"rolls,"adjust"the"#1"
gapset"knob"on"the"operator"side."
"
H While"placing"the"strip"of"paper"on"the"nonHoperator"side"of"the"fold"rolls,"adjust"the"#1"

4. Setting"the"fold"roll"gap/pressure.""
Note:&The&proper&factory&calibration&of&the&gapsets&is&to&where&by&individually&pulling&on&each&
strip&of&paper&and&the&fold&rolls&just&starting&to&rotate.&&&
Not&enough&fold&roll&pressure&could&cause&the&folds&to&be&tight&and¬&provide&enough&
drive&for&the&sheets&to&flow&through&the&roll&bank.&
Too&much&fold&roll&pressure&can&cause&unnecessary&cracking,&especially&on&coated&
stocks,&and&could&cause&premature&wear&of&the&fold&rolls.&
"
a) To"do"this,"gently"pull"on"the"strip"of"paper"on"the"operator"side"and"feel"the"
amount"of"pressure"the"fold"rolls"are"applying."
"
o "If"pulling"on"this"strip "o f"p a p e r"fe lls"lik e "th e re "is"n ot"enough"pressure "a n d "d o e s"
not"cause"the"fold"rolls"to"start"rotating,"turn"the"gapset"knob"counterHclock"
wise"to"add"more"fold"roll"pressure."
"
o If"pulling"on"this"strip"o f"p a p e r"fe lls "like "th e re "is "to o "much"pressure"and "ca u s e"
the"strip"of"paper"to"tear"rotating,"turn"the"gapset"kno b "clock"w ise"to "redu ce "the"
amount"of"fold"roll"pressure."
"
"
b) After"feeling"the"pressure"on"the"strip"of"paper"on"the"operator"side,"gently"pull"
on"the"strip"of"paper"on"the"nonHoperator"side"and"feel"the"amount"of"pressure"
the"fold"rolls"are"applying."
"
o If"pulling"on"this"strip"o f"p a p e r"fe lls "like "th e re "is "n o t"e n o u g h "p re s su re "a n d "d o e s"

the"strip"of"paper"to"tear"rotating,"turn"the"gapset"kno b "clock"w ise"to "redu ce "the"
amount"of"fold"roll"pressure."
"
c) Now"that"you"have"initially"calibrated"the"fold"roll"pressures"on"the"operator"and"
nonHoperator"sides,"you"must"go"back"and"check"the"pressures"on"each"strip"of"
paper"again"to"ensure"the"pressures"remained"the"same."You"may"have"to"
readjust"the"pressure"on"each"side"to"ensu re"the "prop er"a m ou nt"o f"fold"roll"
pressure"is"maintained."
