The multi-sheet feeder is designed to fold pre-collated stapled or unstapled sets of up to four 20 # (75gsm)

sheets of paper. You may need to create a custom fold, depending on the thickness of the finished multi-sheet set. 1. Select the fold type and paper size (see page 6). The Multi-Sheet Feeder accommodates 11” and 14” paper lengths. Adjust the side guides on the multi-sheet feeder for the proper paper size. Loosen the brass thumb screw, adjust the guides to fit the paper width and re-tighten the thumbscrew (Fig 47a). 2. Slide the pre-collated paper set into the multi-sheet feeder. When feeding stapled sets the documents should be placed with the staple on the operator’s side and leading (Fig 47b). 3. The sheets of paper will be automatically pulled into the folder (there is a one-second delay after the paper is placed in the feeder). 4. If the fold is skewed, turn the skew adjustment knob located on the back of the feeder left or right to make corrections (Fig 47c). 5. To remove the multi-sheet feeder, depress the release levers located on either side of the lower back side of the feeder (Fig. 47d), tilt the feeder forward and lift. To reinstall depress the levers and reinsert. Staple Fig. 47b Fig. 47a Fig 47c Brass thumbscrew Skew Adjuster Release Levers Fig. 47d 19

Cross folding refers to folding a document in one pass and

then running it through the folder a second time to be folded again. Common Application: Folding a 11” x 17” document in half and then letter folding it to fit in a standard #10 envelope. 1. Load folded paper into the feed tray with the fold crease facing the non-operator side of the folder (Fig. 48a). Note: For best results, firmly run your hand over the fold crease to help flatten the paper before loading. 2. Attach the cross fold paper guide onto the feed tray paper guide (Fig. 48b) and lower guide. Note: Cross folding ability will vary based on the paper weight and type. If the paper is too heavy it may not be able to be cross folded. Note: The guide can be conveniently stored under the lower fold table when not in use (Fig. 48c).

REMOVING OUTFEED COVER

The outfeed cover can be removed to access the exit roller. To remove, unscrew thumbscrews that hold the cover in place (Fig. 15) REMOVING INFEED TIRES The infeed tires can easily be removed for cleaning and replace- ment. Remove the Allen screw located on the left side of the feed tire shaft (Fig. 16). Slide the shaft to the right to release from the side frame and remove (Fig. 17).

1. It is recommended to let forms cool for one-half hour, from the laser printer, before folding. This allows toner to set

on the forms and static electricity to discharge. The FD 402 Jogger is recommended for best results. The Jogger squares the forms and dissipates heat and static electricity created by laser printers. 2. Clean infeed tires and fold rollers with Formax recommended roller cleaner & rejuvenator to remove paper dust and toner. A Formax Cleaner Kit is available from your dealer. A damp cloth with water is the best alternative. CAUTION: Do not use any chemicals other than the roller cleaner & rejuvenator or water. 22 Fig. 52 Fold Rollers 1. Make sure machine is turned off and unplugged. All folders have four (4) rubber rollers (Fig. 18). 2. Remove the upper and lower fold tables. 3. Using Formax roller cleaner, spray a new cotton cloth until the cloth is saturated. Wipe the wet cloth in a back and forth motion making sure to clean the entire surface of the fold and rollers. Next use a dry cloth and wipe off excess toner. The cloth should be covered with black toner surplus from cleaning the rollers. 4. Run 10-15 sheets of blank copy paper through the folder to ensure all cleaner has been removed from the fold rollers. Running blank sheets will remove any excess residue of cleaner on the rollers.
