As
you
place
each
strip
of
paper
into
the
proper
fold
rolls
that
you
are
setting
the
gapsets
for,
it
is
helpful
to
turn
the
gapset
knob
counter-‐clockwise
until
the
strip
of
paper
is
being
held
lightly
by
the
fold
rolls.
-‐ While placing the strip of paper on the operator side of the fold rolls, adjust the #1
gapset knob on the operator side.
-‐ While placing the strip of paper on the non-‐operator side of the fold rolls, adjust the #1
gapset knob on the non-‐operator side.
4. Calibrating the fold roll gap/pressure.
Note:
The
proper
factory
calibration
of
the
gapsets
is
to
where
by
individually
pulling
on
each
strip
of
paper
and
the
fold
rolls
just
starting
to
rotate.
Not enough fold roll pressure could cause the folds to be tight and not provide enough
drive for the sheets to flow through the roll bank.
Too much fold roll pressure can cause unnecessary cracking, especially on coated
stocks, and could cause premature wear of the fold rolls.
a) To do this, gently pull on the strip of paper on the operator side and feel the
amount
of
pressure
the
fold
rolls
are
applying.
o If pulling on this strip of paper fells like there is not enough pressure and does
not
cause
the
fold
rolls
to
start
rotating,
turn
the
gapset
knob
counter-‐clock
wise
to
add
more
fold
roll
pressure.
o If pulling on this strip of paper fells like there is too much pressure and cause
the
strip
of
paper
to
tear
rotating,
turn
the
gapset
knob
clock
wise
to
reduce
the
amount
of
fold
roll
pressure.
