2.Getting to know the Model 102
2.1 Main components
The Model 102 can be quickly and easily connected to the Air Feed Collator Model 100 for
on-line booklet making. The Model 102 also makes an ideal manual hand feed booklet
maker with an optional manual feed tray .
The Model 102 is equipped with motor driven stapler heads (5000 staples per head), the
anvils are of the clinch type, ensuring professional flat staples. In addition, the operation
that fold the paper provide a sharp booklet fold.
T ake a few minutes to get familiar with the main components of the Model 102.

The belt stacker is used when stapling/folding or folding only is selected. The function of the
belt stacker is the same whether the feed is automatic or manual.
The back of the belt stacker is normally angled upward (about 15 degrees to horizontal),
but can be lowered to allow booklets to drop into a box.
The output wheels should be positioned at the innermost notch for A4, A5 ( 8.5”x14”,
8.5”x1 1”) and similar sizes, at the middle notch for A3 (1 1”x17”) and similar sizes, and at
the outermost notch for storage. Using customized formats the output wheels should be
positioned approximately 50mm from the leading edge of the first set.
The optional delivery tray is used for side or corner stapling if there is no trimmer attached.
When side or corner stapling is selected, the fold stop moves away automatically and the
stapled sets are delivered onto the tray .

3.2 Setting up the Model 102
This section explains how to set up the Model 102 and do a test run. After the test run you
can do fine adjustments of the settings, if necessary . When you are satisfied with the test
run you can begin production.
Select a paper feed mode
1If the papers are fed from a collator , press the AUT O button.
NOTE: Make sure the Model 102 is correctly positioned on the base. Press
the green foot pedal on the base and move the Model 102 to the
corresponding format according to the machine positioning scale.
2Or, if the p apers are fed manually , press the MANUAL button.
Select the type of finishing
Y ou can select staple and fold, fold only , corner st apling or side stapling for
your booklets.
NOTE: For corner stapling and side stapling an optional delivery tray is
necessary if a trimmer is not installed. If a trimmer is present,
consult the trimmer operator manual.
Pressing any of the following buttons will start the paper size program
indicators to light up in sequence (running light), waiting for you to select
the correct paper size program.
3Press this button for stapled and folded booklets.
4Press this button for non stapled, folded booklets.
5Press this button for corner stapling or side stapling. Disable either
stapler by removing it according to section 4.2, and switch off the
staple detection switch if corner stapling is chosen.
NOTE: Side stapling or corner stapling of A3 paper format is not possi-
ble.
6.Depending of the actual paper size and/or the selected booklet form
you might want to change the position of the staples.
Use the allen key to loosen the anvil(s). Move the anvil(s) to the desired position and tighten the screw(s). Loosen the thumb screw(s) for
the stapler assembly . Centre the stapler assembly over the anvils and
thighten the thumb screw(s).

NOTE2:Depending of the previous job setup you might have to select
paper size program before you move the staplers apart.
The anvil position scale indicates the distance, in millimetres, from centre
to centre (cc) of the staples.

8.When selecting staple and fold, or fold only the configuration of the
balls in the ball cage is important. The purpose is to apply enough
pressure on the set to ensure proper alignement against the fold stop
before the set is being folded. By doing that the set will be correctly
folded at the middle of the set. The Model 102 is delivered with glass
balls at the left side and plastic balls at the right side of the ball cage
which should cover most jobs.
Depending on the number of sheets in each set and the stiffness of the
papers used you might need to change the configuration. In the tool
box you can find 2 steel balls, 2 glass balls and 2 plastic balls.
The heaviest configuration, for several sheets with high stiffness, is 2
steel balls at the left side and 2 glass balls at the right side. The lightest configuration, when running just a few sheets with low stiffness, is
plastic balls at the left only .
If your booklets comes out with the staples on the back of the booklet
the configuration is to heavy . T o many and/or to heavy balls allowed the
set to buckle (travel too far) before it was folded.
123
If your booklets comes out with the staples on the front, and/or with a
skew fold, the configuration is to light. By using not enough and/or to
light balls the set did not travel all the way down to the fold stop and
was not aligned correctly .

4.1 Removal/replacement of the staple cartridge, continues
4If the staple cartridge is empty , discard it and replace it with a new
one. Before replacing the cartridge, pull at least 20 mm of the staples
out and tear off at the staple tear line which is marked on the cartridge.
If there has been a miss-feed, and the cartridge still contains staples,
pull 20 mm of staples out of the cartridge and tear off at the stapler
tear line. Check that the first staple is flat. If not, tear off another 20
mm, using less force.
4
5Insert the cartridge into the stapler head with the staples facing to-
wards the head mechanism. The cartridge should be placed flat on
the slide on the bottom of the stapler head and pushed firmly into the
stapler head.
5
6Hold the staple cartridge firmly in place and push down the cartridge
locking lever .
NOTE: If the cartridge is allowed to move away from the stapler head
before the locking lever is in engaged, remove cartridge and tear
off 20 mm of staples level with the staple tear line.

NOTE: The staples will not be fed until a few booklets have passed
through the Model 102.
7Move the staple detection switch to the disable position to prevent the
Model 102 from shutting down when it detects missing staples in the
first few booklets. Reset the staple detection switch to normal position
to enable future staple miss-feed indications, after checking that there
are two staples in the booklet.

4.2 Removal/replacement of the stapler head
1Select the A3 (11"x17") position to ensure that the side joggers are
away from the stapler head.
2Loosen the thumb screw . Rotate the lock spring towards the thumb-
screws and remove the lock pin from the stapler head assembly .
3Disconnect the red wire. Push the stapler head towards the in-feed
side, out of the stapler head assembly .
NOTE: Whenever you remove a stapler head, be sure to manually eject
some staples before replacing it in the Model 102. To do this,
rest the stapler head on a firm surface (for example, the top of a
table or the Model 102) and actuate the staple driver post up/
down through full travel. Do this a number of times to ensure
that the staples are ejected on each down movement. If you need
to change the staple cartridge, see previous section, removal/
replacement of staple cartridge.
WARNING: When manually ejecting the stapler, stay clear from stapler
output area.

4.3 Cleaning fold rolls
The fold rolls will eventually need cleaning due to colour deposits from the
print-out. Especially the upper fold rolls. How often depends of the printing
method but you will notice that when you can see marks or deposits on the
cover of the booklets.
The fold rolls guide cassette can be folded up for better access. At the
front end of the upper fold roll you will find a hex grip. Use the open end
wrench delivered with the Model 102 in the tool box to turn the fold rolls.
Use the same procedure to clean the lower fold rolls.
