- PERFORATION UNIT

3.1 Setting Perforating Block

((1) Loosen Thumb Screw and squeeze

Release Levers with fingers to slide
Perforating Block right or left.

Refer to guide scale.
NOTE:
Before setting Perforating Block, make
sure to place Blade Position Reference at
center position so that fine adjustment
may be possible after the Block is
installed. Refer [3.3.1 Fine Adj. Dial]

(2) Fitting and fixing Blade Receipt Roller

- Loosen Roller Fixing Screw by Phillips Screw
Driver and place Blade Receipt Roller fit to the
Perforating Blade. Then fix Roller Fixing Screw.

Perforating Blade

CAUTION：
While fixing Thumb Screw, press Thumb Screw towards Block Mounting Arm so
that Perforating Block sets square to Block Mounting Arm. This helps the paper
to be fed straight.

CAUTION：
Perforating Blade is designed always to be pressed against Blade Receipt Roller.
Do not move the Roller without squeezing Release Levers. When Levers are
squeezed, they create a distance between Blade and Roller.

CAUTION：
Roller Fixing Screw must be fixed at the position where Transportation Shaft has
flat spot. Otherwise, the Blade Receipt Roller will not be fixed to the Shaft and
the Roller may be damaged.

(3) Setting Paper Transport Rollers, Upper and Lower, at proper position
Place the Paper Transport Roller where they can grip paper positively.
Firstly, loosen Lower Philips Fixing Screws on both sides. Slide and position

them to the appropriate location and fix them.

Then, loosen Thumb Screws of Upper Transport Rollers on both sides. Slide and
position them so that Upper Transport Rollers ride on the Lower Transport Rubber
Rings.

CAUTION：
Press Thumb Screw to Block Mounting Arm when fixing the Perforating Block.
This helps the paper to be fed straightly.

CAUTION：
Depending location of perforating line, it may not always be possible to place
Upper Transport Roller riding on the two Rubber Rings. In this case, use single
Rubber Ring. However, as much as possible, try to use two Rubber Rings at both
sides for stable paper feeding.

(2) Perforating two lines on a sheet by single

perforation block.

- Place Blade Position Reference to adequate
position and perforate.

- After first perforation done, reload the sheet
to Paper Feed Tray reversing the paper
position. Then perforate 2nd line again.

1st Perforation 2nd Perforation

Further information：
If desired to perforate two lines by one operation, add one additional perforating block
(optional) to the transport shaft. Note due to frame size of perforating block,
perforating too closed lines or too far apart lines may be limited.
Refer page 13, how to add another perforating unit.

NOTE：
Scale graduation and Blade Position Reference are for guidance only. To perforate at
the accurate position, use fine adjustment mechanism. Refer page 8, fine adjustment
of perforating blade location.

3.2 Trial Perforation

(1) To activate Perforation Unit, turn on the Power Switch while pressing the SELECT

Key. Release the Key as “PERFORATION MODE LAMP” is illuminated.

To operate with normal Folding Mode, Turn power switch off. Install Folding
Table and connect Folding Table Plug to Machine. Then, turn on Power Switch.

CAUTION：
When the machine is turned on, it automatically sets for medium running speed.
Use the machine middle to lower speed. For perforation/scoring, machine is
designed to be used at middle to lower speed to avoid possibility of tearing the
perforating paper.

(2) Set papers on Paper Feed Tray, set Counter to “1” and press “START” Key.
(3) Evaluate if the perforation is done properly as desired.

3.3 Fine Adjustment of Perforating Line

3.3.1 Adjusting line location

– If the line is extremely out of desired location,

Perforating Unit must be relocated.

- If the line is away for approximately 5mm or
less from desired position, fine adjustment
may be possible without changing Perforating
Block set up.

NOTE:
Before fixing Perforating Block, make sure
to place Blade Position Reference to center
position so that fine adjustment may be
possible after the Block is fixed.

Fine Adjustment Dial:
While squeezing release levers, turn Fine Adjustment Dial to direction (1) and

Perforation position moves to right.

When it is turned towards direction (2), Perforator position moves to left.

3.3.2 Adjustment of perforating angle

CAUTION:
Before making any adjustment, make
sure that the paper is tightly placed
without play between the Paper Guides
in the Paper Feed Tray of Folder.
Otherwise, right angle of perforation is
not available in an

event.

In case perforation is not performed in the
right angle, adjustment of angle may be
possible.

- In case finishing of perforation is angled
to right A, turn Slant Adjustment Dial to
the direction of 1.

- In case finishing of perforation is angled
to left B, turn Slant Adjustment Dial to
the direction of 2.

3.6 Setting Scoring Block

Upper Scoring Roller

Lower Scoring Roller

(1) Scoring Position

Move V-Groove of Lower Scoring Roller to the place where scoring. Then, fix the Roller
by Philips Screw Driver. Press “Test” Key as leading edge of paper comes close to Lower
Scoring Roller so that scoring position is determined. Do not feed paper yet to the
rollers.

(2) Positioning of Upper Scoring Roller

Loosen (turn) Release/Fix screw (left) on the left side for 2 to 3 rounds. Turn
Shallow/Deeper screw counterclockwise 2 to 3 rounds. Slide the Upper Scoring Roller
right above the lower V-Groove. Turn Shallow/Deeper screw clockwise till Roller comes
down in to the bottom of V-Groove. Then, Fix the Scoring Block turning Release/Fix
screw clockwise. Now, Upper Blade and Lower Groove position is mechanically matched.

(3) Adjusting shallowness/depth of Upper Scoring Roller

Turn Shallower/Deeper screw counterclockwise for 2 to 3 turns. Then, fix the height by
