6. PRECAUTIONS BEFORE USE
6-2. PRECAUTIONS FOR STACKING PAPER
• If the paper is not stacked neatly on the paper feed table,
the unit will not be able to read the size of the paper
accurately and as a result, may determine the paper as
outside the standard size. Therefore, be sure to stack the
paper neatly.
The paper feed table has a built-in device for reading
paper size.
Take note that this device will not be able to read the
paper size correctly if the paper is stacked unevenly.
This may as a result cause problems.
• Automatic paper size detection can be carried out for
paper up to ±2.5 mm of the fixed paper.
• 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

7. OPERATION PROCEDURES
10 Press the “test” button and perform
test folding.
• Two sheets of paper will be folded.
Even after two folded sheets of paper have
been ejected, the machine will not stop
working when the stop button is pressed until
the buzzer sounds and the motor inside stops
completely.
The unit will not respond to whatever button
on the control panel is pressed.
• The paper will be folded properly if it is folded
after it has reached the stopper inside the folding
plate.
• If the paper flowing into the folding plate is folded
without reaching the stopper due to conditions
such as environmental conditions (temperature,
humidity), paper quantity, its type, paper couch
conditions, folding speed, curling etc., it may not
be folded properly.
• In some cases, the paper may also coil around the
rubber roll and cause problems.
• As such problems can be corrected by decreasing
the folding speed, keep decreasing the speed until
the paper is folded properly.
23
7. OPERATION PROCEDURES
11 Check the folded paper for testing.
• Proceed onto the next step if the sheets of paper
have been folded satisfactorily.
Check the second ejected paper to confirm
that folding is performed correctly.
• If the sheets of paper have not been folded
satisfactorily, refer to the following steps.
ó
If folding has slipped in the vertical direction:
Press the “folding stopper adjustment” button and
adjust the folding slippage.
Refer to “Adjusting the folding slippage in the
vertical direction” on page 36.
ò
If the folding has slipped in the horizontal direction:
Rotate the “slant correction knob” and adjust the
folding slippage.
Refer to “Adjusting the folding slippage in the
horizontal direction” on page 40.
Check the folding slippage in the horizontal
direction with the second sheet of test fold
sample.
12 Perform test folding again and make
sure that there is no slippage.
• To register the corrected stopper position, refer to
“Registering the Folding Stopper Correction” on
page 38.
Even if the paper of one size is used, folding
slippage in the vertical direction may occur
because of the kind of paper used, the paper
thickness, processing speed.
It is therefore necessary to adjust the folding
stopper slightly.

7-2. FOLDING THICK PAPER
7. OPERATION PROCEDURES
When folding into two cardboard paper
and fine quality thick paper (157 g/m
2
), the
corners and center of the folded part of the
paper may bend due to conditions such as
the using environment (terperature,
humidity), paper size, fiber direction of the
paper, etc. This is not a malfunction of the
machine.
Should the paper bend as above, perform
the following steps.

7-3. DOUBLE FOLDING THICK PAPER
7. OPERATION PROCEDURES
• When thick paper (above 105 g/ u) such as fine
quality paper, etc. is folded into fours, its thickness
may cause its folds to open when it is ejected to the
stacker. As a result, the paper will not be able to
pass through the stacker rolls and paper jam will
occur.
Note : Take note that paper below B6 size
(157 g/m2) cannot be ejected if folded
into fours.
• In this case, proceed in the following steps.
ó
Place the paper on the paper feed table, lower the
paper set lever and raise the paper feed table.
ò
While pressing the “clear” button, press numerical
key “5” or “6” and move the stacker roll manually.

9. USING ART/COATED PAPER
• Art/coated paper are difficult to fold as their printed surfaces tend to stick together
easily and cause double feeding.
• When folding such a kind of paper, observe the following precautions before starting
folding operations.
1 Loosen the paper thoroughly.
2 Next arrange the paper neatly and
stack them on the paper feed table.
3 For other precautions, refer to
“Precautions for Stacking Paper” on
page 16.
9-1. PRECAUTIONS FOR STACKING PAPER
Paper

42
9-2. OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
1 If double-feed occurs frequently and
cannot be corrected, reduce the
amount of paper on the paper feed
table until the middle of the guide
(approx. 25mm)
As the specific gravity of this type of paper is
higher than that of normal paper, they tend to
stick together, causing double-feeding to
occur frequently.
The amount of paper loaded on the table is
therefore reduced.
2 Adjust the paper feed pressure
adjusting lever to “3”.
• If the paper slips, gradually raise the paper feed
pressure one level at a time , from “3” to “4”, until
the appropriate paper feed pressure is obtained.
• When the paper slips, the display shows “-¡-”
and the unit will stop. Raise the paper feed pressure
one level when the unit stops.
Set the paper feed pressure within the range
of 3 to 5.
3 Next, open the top cover and adjust
the separator pressure.
• Set the separator pressure adjusting dial to “2.5”.
• If the paper sticks and several sheets of paper are
fed at one time (double feeding), gradually raise
the separator pressure adjusting dial 0.5 at a time
until the appropriate separator pressure is obtained.
Set the separator pressure within the range of
2.5 to 3.5.
• The separator pressure may have to be set to 3.5 or
above if the paper feed ring or paper separator, etc.
is worn out.
But try to set the pressure at the lowest level
possible.

4 If the paper is not folded properly,
adjust the speed control to a slower
speed.
When paper is folded at a high speed, as the
front edges of the paper cannot reach the
folding stopper due to various conditions such
as environmental conditions (temperature,
humidity), paper size, thickness of paper,
paper couch conditions, and printed surface
conditions, etc., the paper is not folded
properly.
