Selecting a folding type:

selected.

One of the six folding types (Single, Gate, Letter, Zigzag, Double Pa rallel, and Fold-out) can be Press the desired fold type key.

Example:

Single folding using letter s ize paper.

Letter size (11” length) – C1 Legal size (14” length) – C2 Ledger size (17” length) – C3

Test folding:

If the Test key is pressed, two sheets will be folded while not affecting the indication of the counter. Check if the second sheet of paper has been folded

correctly. To correct skews refer to Adjustment on page 16 Caution: In case the stopper fine adjustment knob is moved, make sure to press TEST key for confirmation before START key is pressed. Otherwise, fine adjustment

will not be recognized.

Continuous folding:

When the Start/Stop key is pressed, the machine will continuously fold the paper. When the Start/Stop key is pressed while the machine is in operation, the machine will stop the operation, but addition on the counter will continue. If you wish to fold only the number of sheet desired, refer to subtraction counter function.

Advice:

Concerning positioning of the paper size and the paper ejection roller, refer to “Roller position indication” seal. If ejection is not performed properly, set at a different position.

Note:

Calculate the position of the table 1 and table 2 stopper in relation to the measurement value L on page 13.

Example:

In the case of performing the zigzag fold using sheets of paper 300mm in length: Table 1 = 300 × (2 / 3) = 200mm Table 2 = 300 × (1 / 3) = 100mm

Cross folding refers to performing the double parallel, letter, or other types of folds for the sheets of paper

already folded in the single fold.

Cross fold ing can be used if, for example, a sheet of ledger size paper folded using the double parallel folding method is still too large to be enclosed in

envelope.

Note:

The maximum weight of paper that can be used for cross folding is 28lb bond. This requirement, however, varies according to the following conditions: Paper type; Paper size; Whether grains run lengthways or sideways; Temperature and relative humidity; Printing condition.

The folding position may be displaced to a greater extent than when the paper is folded using a regular fold method, or a corner of the folded paper may be folded inside as indicated in the figure. These, however, do not mean that the machine has malfunctioned.

Note:

1.) Move the paper feed rollers on both sides to proper position in advance so that all of the rollers can feed paper stock. Flatten the crease hard using the hand. Do

2.)

not stack too many sheets of paper on the feed table.

Use paper support guide(s) to 15 help hold

3.)

(8) Adjustment

http://www.monomachines.com

(A) Skew Adjustment

If the folding position is slanted because the edges of the paper are slanted or for other reasons, it can be adjusted using the skew adjustment knob.

(B) Fine Adjustment

Move the stopper using the stopper fine adjustment knob. Caution: In case the fine adjustment knob is moved, when the Test key is pressed, the machine will continue to fold, when the Start/Stop key is pressed, the machine will start to fold after the stopper is returned to the previous position

Note:

When the stopper is moved largely, it will be convenient to use the + /- key. Adjusting Table 1 Press the Select key and select the Table 1 Stopper Move Mode. Press the + /- key and move the stopper to the desired position.

Adjusting table 2 Press the Select key and select the Table 2 Stopper Move Mode. Press the + /- key and move the stopper to the desired position.
