1 Installation and Mechanism
1 - 4 Mechanism of Folding
Sheets are fed.
- The feed roller rotates and feeds sheet one by one
to the buckle chute. (Fig. 1)
The sheet hits the stopper.
- The sheet hits the stopper on the 1st buckle chute
and stops. (Fig. 2)
The sheet is bent slightly.
- The sheet stopped by the stopper is bent, and the
fold rollers catch the sheet bend. (Fig. 3)
- When the folding speed is set to “High”, the amount of
sheet bend is slightly changed. Set the stopper position 1 mm (0.04”) shorter than the normal setting.
- When the heavier sheet is folded, the amount of sheet
bent becomes smaller. Set the folding speed to “High”
to create bigger sheet bend.
The sheet is folded.
- The fold rollers catch the bending part of sheet
and sheet is folded.
- The fold position changes depending on the stopper position.

Cause and Solutions
[Cause] The fold section cover opens while the motor rotates. (The S10 fold section cover switch turns Off.)
[Solution] Close the fold section cover. If the same error still occurs, check wiring/connection between S10 and QPM-243. If the S10 fold section cover switch is On,
LED L27 on QPM-243 turns off. If the same error still occurs, replace S10. If the same error still occurs, replace the QPM-243 control board.
[Cause] The X20 buckle connector is removed while the motor rotates. (The buckle chute is removed from the X20 buckle connector.)
[Solution] Insert the buckle chute so that the X20P connector on the buckle chute is connected to the X20R connector on the folder correctly. If the same error still
occurs, check wiring/connection between X20 and QPM-243. If the buckle chute is inserted properly, LED L26 on QPM-243 lights. If the same error still
occurs, replace the QPM-243 control board.
[Cause] The A10 motor driver alarms. (The M10 main motor is overloaded.)
[Solution] Check if a sheet is not caught between the mechanical sections driven by the M10 main motor. Check if the drive shaft of the M10 main motor tries to rotate
when the power is applied. Check if the drive shaft of the M10 can be rotated smoothly by hand when the drive belt is removed. If it is OK, check wiring/connection between M10 and A10, and A10 and QPM-243. If it is OK, replace the A10 motor driver. If it is OK, replace the QPM-243 control board.
[Cause] The F2 fuse (3.15 A) on the QPM-243 control board is blown. (24VDC circuit from the control board shorts out, or the fuse is deteriorated.)
[Solution] Check if the wiring is not caught in the machine covers and does not short out. Replace the F2 fuse. (If the fuse is not blown, LED L24 on QPM-243 lights.)
[Cause] The third and fourth contact point for the K01 interlock relay is welded. (Short-out condition) ---------- The interlock relay is defective.
[Solution] Replace the K01 interlock relay.
E6
[Cause] The third and fourth contact point for the K01 interlock relay is not connected. (Open condition) ---------- The interlock relay is defective.

3 - 4 Belt Tension Adjustment
Drive Timing Belt Tension
The tension of the drive timing belt is
adjusted by the mounting position of the
drive motor (M10).
If the belt is tightened too much, it may
cause vibration of the belt by the motion of
the machine. Do not tighten the belt too
much.
Drive Timing Belt
When the belt is pushed by 200
gW at its center, the belt bends
by 3 to 4 mm (0.12" to 0.16").
Feed Drive Belt Tension
The tension of the feed drive belt is adjusted by
the attaching position of the tension roller. The
hole to fix the tension roller on the side plate is a
slotted hole.
Adjust by the tension roller.
Feed Drive Belt
When the belt is pushed by 500
gW at its center, the belt bends
by 3 to 4 mm (0.12" to 0.16").
Delivery Drive Belt
The tension of this belt
cannot be adjusted. Attach
only by the belt tension.
Delivery Belt Tension
The delivery belts are stretch, therefore, the belt
tension is not necessary to be adjusted for normal use. Lock the delivery roller shaft at the
center of the slot on the belt bottom plate.
If the delivery belt slips due to the long-time use,
set the delivery roller shaft at exit side of the
slot.

CurledConcaved
- The sheets immediately after printed or left in the

Buckle Chute
Push the buckle chute
unit until it hits against the positioning

- If the buckle chute is installed incorrectly, space
made by the fold rollers and buckle chute entrance is
increased and causes wrinkles and double step folding.

- If the tray gate is deformed and does not align with
the fold roller at the center, the sheet path becomes
narrower at a certain place and the resistance for
sheet transportation is greater, and cause sheet wrinkles. Remove the tray gate and correct the deformation. (Distortion: within 0.1 mm [0.004"])
- If jammed sheet on the tray gate is removed forcibly,
the tray gate can be deformed. Instruct the operator
how to remove the jammed sheet.
Third Fold Roller

- The wrapping of the sheets blocks the humidity. If
the wrapping is opened and left for a long time,
the sheet becomes damp from outside but dry
inside. Therefore, the sheet becomes concave.
- The recycled papers are more likely to be effected
by the humidity.

Especially in winter season, the sheet becomes static
and is sticks on the metal part, such as buckle chute,
and can not reach the buckle chute stopper. In case
of the short folding pattern that the large part of the
sheet enters the buckle chute, the sheet is more likely
to be effected by the static.
[Remedy]
- The sheet printed by the high speed laser printer
should be left for a while to cool it down and adapt to
the temperature and humidity in a room before folding.
- The static is reduced by jogging the sheet using the
jogging machine.
- Lower the printing speed on the laser printer.
- Fold sheets in the silent mode (low speed).
Is the jammed sheet left in the buckle chute?
- If a chip of sheet is left in the buckle chute while
removing a jammed sheet, the folded sheets do not
hit the buckle stopper completely and the sheet is
folded incorrectly.
Does the sheet have the cross grain direction?
Cross
Grain
Direction
503013
5_3_1B
- The cross grain direction sheet as shown in the figure
above is easy to break against the feed direction. If
there is another problem such as static, the sheet
may not reach the stopper resulting in incorrect folding.
Is the sheet size incorrect?
- Measure the sheet.
The correct sheet size (long edge) is shown below.

- The pressure of the fold roller is produced by the fold
roller spring of the roller link. If the roller shaft is positioned incorrectly in the roller support and the roller
link is pulled up forcibly using the clamp handle while
installing the second and fourth fold rollers, the fold
roller spring will be deformed. In that case, replace
the fold roller spring.

Is the stopper tilted?
Sheet

503013
5_4_1D
- Fold a sheet and adjust the stopper tilt angle,
depending on the skew of the folded sheet.
Are the fold rollers stained?
- If the duplicator printed sheet is folded before it dries
out, the ink transfers to the fold roller and changes the
friction, then results in incorrect folding.
Instruct the operator to clean the fold rollers following
the “Maintenance” in the user’s manual.
If the fold roller is worn out or deformed, sheet may be
folded askew. Check the roller condition.

Does the folded sheet stick each other
because of static?
- If the static is built up on sheets, they stick each other
and are not neatly stacked.
Fan the sheet well to reduce the static electricity
before folding.

Is the tray gate deformed?
Tray Gate
At Center
503013
5_1_1D
- If the tray gate is deformed and does not align with
the folded roller at the center, the sheet path becomes
narrower at a certain point and the delivered sheet
hits the deformed tray gate and jams. Remove the
tray gate and correct the deformation. (Distortion:
within 0.1 mm [0.004”])
- If jammed sheet on the tray gate is removed forcibly,
the tray gate can be deformed. Instruct the operator
how to remove the jammed sheet.

- When pushing in the plunger of the Y02/Y03 by finger, the tray gate moves smoothly.
- When changing the fold patterns by pressing the fold
