Impositions and their setups

Before working on the folder, DISCONNECT ALL ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY
TO THE FOLDER to prevent the accidental start of the folder. Check to be sure

you have the correct tools to complete the job.

For reasons of safety, long hair must be tied back or otherwise secured, garments
must be close fitting and no jewelry, such as rings or necklaces, may be worn while
adjusting or setting up equipment. Injury may result from being caught up in the
machinery or jewelry catching in moving parts.

· Common Impositions

Note:

· When planning an imposition, check your folded layout for proper page numbers and correct guide edges.
Verify that your folder is large enough to do the job, that is, that the fold plate depths are sufficient for the
folds desired.

· If the desired imposition is unusual, try the stock on the folder before printing (make a trial folding run).

· Use the most logical layout and avoid unnecessary problems such as air pockets and adverse paper grain.

· For better results, use scores when possible.

· There are alternate ways of making many of these impositions; those shown are in common use to achieve the

results shown. An experienced operator will often develop alternate methods to achieve the same results.

· Baumfolder Corporation does not assume responsibility for any errors that might inadvertently be contained
in this document. Please recheck your layouts and verify the result.

Impositions and their setup

Reference pictures for the roll positions outlined in the common impositions, as well
as the gapset positions.

This diagram shows the relative
positions of the five rolls and the
associated fold plates. In this
example the fold will occur in plates
one and two, and plates three and
four are deflecting the paper.

This picture shows the gapset
assemblies that are referenced in the
imposition setup instructions.
