Feeding Paper
NOTE: Set folds with standard copy paper so that
the folds line up with the perfs on the pressure seal
forms.
1. Load a stack of paper onto the feed table. The
stack should be no higher than the side guides , 2”
(51mm). Position the backstop up against the lift.
2. Turn on the air/vacuum pump. The air should float
the bottom of the lift approximately 1/16 to 1/8” (16 to
32mm). Air blast can be controlled by adjusting the
valve located at the end of each side guide (Fig. 24).
2. Turn the hand wheel until the separator tip is
positioned over a solid portion of the sucker wheel,
i.e. between the rows of holes.
3. Place a one inch wide (25mm), double thickness
piece of paper to be folded under the tip of the
separator plate. Lower the separator clockwise (cw)
until there is a slight drag on the paper as it is pulled
from the separator.
4. The vacuum advance knob is located on the side
of the feed table (Fig. 23). Adjusting the knob will
position where the vacuum contacts the stock of
paper. Raising the knob will move the vacuum away
from the lift and toward the rollers (light papers).
Lowering the knob will move the vacuum contact
toward the lift and away from the rollers (heavy
papers).
Horizontal Separator Adjustment
1. Raise the separator (ccw) to avoid marking the
sucker wheel.
2. Loosen knob (ill. 2).
3. As a starting reference, turn the hand wheel until
a set of sucker wheel holes is at the 12 o’clock
position.
4. Adjust separator assembly so that the plate is 1/16”
forward of the 12 o’clock position, measure from the
feed side of the plate.
5. Tighten knob (ill. 2).
