Formax FD 2092 - Manual (Page 12)

Vacuum Feed Sheet Separator
The sheet separator will have to be adjusted for the
weight of paper you are folding. Ideal adjustment
will feed only one sheet without marking the paper or
feeding doubles. Use the following procedure to get
started.
Fine tune these adjustments according to the
condition of the paper and the environmental
conditions of your particular work area.
Adjustment Procedure
Raise the separator (ccw) to avoid marking the
sucker wheel.
NOTE: DO NOT MAKE SEPARATOR
ADJUSTMENTS WHILE THE FOLDER IS
RUNNING.
1. Raise the separator (ccw) to avoid marking the
sucker wheel.
2092 Operation
Squaring
In order for your machine to fold squarely, it must be fed
into the rollers square. Your 2092 has been adjusted
at the factory and should only require periodic checks.
The 2092 has a unique feed table adjustment feature to
quickly and easily adjust it if needed.
1. Adjust the feed table squaring screw and align the
center line of the scale with the center mark on the
feeder table (Fig 20).
2. Loosely position the feed table side guides to the
scales on the feed table, (fig 20 & 21). Read the front
scale at the inside edge of the side guide clamp block.
The rear scale will line up with the inside edge of the
side guide. The scales are set up to center the paper
on the sucker wheel. Initially set each guide 1/4” (6mm)
wide. Do not tighten the lock knobs.
3. Raise the sheet separator counter clockwise (ccw)
so it is away from the sucker wheel (fig. 22). Place
a sheet of the paper to be folded on the feed table.
Slide the sheet forward into the rollers. The sheet
must contact the rollers evenly and not touch the side
guides. Turn the hand wheel so about 1/2” (3mm) is
pulled into the rollers.
4. Position the operator side guide so it is just
touching the sheet but not pushing it. The side guide
must be even to the sheet from end to end. Tighten
the front lock knobs then the rear knobs, (fig 20 &
21).
5. Repeat step 4 on the non operator side guide.
6. The paper will now feed square into the rollers.
Now that the side guides are square, the feed table
squaring screw, (Fig. 20), can be adjusted for fine
tuning the overall squareness.
