OPERATION
1. Adjust fold plates to desired fold for length of paper (see fold plate adjustment on page 4). To do this,
loosen the two thumbscrews (Figure 4a & b) on each fold plate. Align center bar (Figure 4a & b) so the
marks on each side match up. For “V” folds, remove the lower fold plate, turn around 180º and reinstall.
2. Make sure fold plates and cover are reinstalled properly.
3. Plug in cord and turn power on (Figure 2).
4. To make sure folds are in the correct location, push the paper feed lever (Figure 3) down and place
one form onto the in-feed table and press the start button. Adjust fold plates if necessary (see fold plate
adjustment on page 4).
5. Push the paper feed lever down and load paper neatly stacked and squared onto the in-feed table.
Paper can be stacked up to 150 sheets. Note: Standard “Z” fold forms can be loaded face up or down
with the glue edge leading. All “C” fold forms must be loaded face up with glue edge leading.
6. Be sure the ready light is green and press the start button to begin operation.
