Easy Mode:
This mode is an automatic setup mode that sets the sheet gap to 1 inch and
vacuum duration to 5 inches. Most jobs may be ran with this mode of operation.
A Z-fold or a product with a window will require the Continuous Mode of
operation. You can not change the sheet gap or vacuum duration settings
manually using the Easy-Mode.Only the DCT500 mode or Continuous Cycle
mode allows adjustment of these settings.
The Easy-Mode is used for folds that require half of the sheet length or less
going into the foldplate. These folding applications normally operate with a 1.0
Inch sheet gap. If you are folding half of the sheet length or more into the
foldplate you must have a greater gap.
