４.Paper Handling

● Flatten paper with folds or wrinkle or curls before using.

● Completely dry print ink on the paper before using.

CAUTION

Using paper with print ink not dried completely will stain fold roller and this will cause
trouble such as stain on the paper.

● Use paper cut precisely.

WARNING

If the squareness of the paper is not precisely, this will cause trouble such as
fold skew.

● Fully fan papers when right after copied or printed.

WARNING

Paper right after copied or printed contains
much static electricity.
If the papers are not fully fanned, this will
cause trouble such as double feed.

When the paper is set to the manual slot of the DC-SC1, please confirm the right side/other side
and leading edge/rear edge of the paper.
When confirming the finish after test fold, check fold skew and the right side/other side and leading
edge/rear edge of the paper.
[ Example] When the paper (right side: colored, other side: white) is folded by the fold mode

as below.

V-fold has 2 directions to be folded (1V-fold and 2V-fold). When 1V-fold is selected, the paper is
folded as shown above. When 2V-fold is selected, it is folded in reverse direction. (Refer to 1-1.
Fold type on page 28.)

6. Connecting with Other Units

The DC-F1 cannot be used by itself. When feeding paper to this unit, you need other unit to be
connected such as DC machine (DC-645/DC-615/DC-445) and DC-SC1. Please use the DC-F1
in appropriate combinations for your environment with reference to the system configuration
below. Please contact our distributor/dealer or service agent for any inquiries about connected
units. In the interest of upgrading our products, product system configuration is subject to
change without notice. New models to be released in the future may be added to the paper
feed units (DC-645/DC-615/DC-445).

1. Adjusting Fold Skew

Folding results vary even on the paper of the same size and fold skew may occur depending on
paper type, thickness, print status, processing speed, etc. This unit corrects fold position in each
mode individually. Correctable range is ±5mm. Fold correction dimension is cleared by turning
the power off or selecting other function. At this time, the contents of the already saved JOB is
not changed.
The following describes the procedure to deal with fold skew.

When folded paper edge is skewed horizontally as shown
in the right illustration, correct the skew with the skew
adjust knob.
Right illustration: Fold type is 1V.

1. Adjust the horizontal fold skew by turning the skew adjust knob.
