Form Set -Up Procedures With Optional

Imprinter

NOTE: It is recommended that

numbered forms or

checks fed into imprinter should be last form first,

right side up.

1. Center leading edge of form at infeed end of

machine so that outer edges of form extend equally

beyond guide straps on each side. If you find that

edges come within about 1/4” of guide straps, offset

form in either direction to avoid this condition.

2. If form length is 3 1/2”, 7”, 10 1/2” or 14”, rollers

must be timed. Time rollers by activating jog switch

until timing marks on the rollers are vertical and in

view in cutouts in feed and snap roller covers.

3. Position tractors by releasing and sliding to proper

form width. Raise tractor gates. Place forms on feed

pins as shown in. Close tractor gates and secure in

position.

4. Loosen thumbscrew on ink roller unit and slide unit

away from signature area on form.

5. Loosen setscrews on plate cylinder. If setscrews

are not in view, rotate free wheeling cylinder until

they are in view.) Horizontally align plate cylinder with

signature area on form. Tighten setscrews.

6. Loosen setscrews on imprint cylinder. (If setscrews

are not in view, use jog switch to bring them into

view.)

7. With no signature saddles on imprint cylinder,

move forms forward so signature area is centered

over plate cylinder shaft.

8. Center signature cylinder over signature area

(NOTE: Setscrews should be facing you.) and center

signature plate locator pins directly over imprint area

on form. Tighten setscrews.

9. Advance forms forward so that next horizontal

perforation aligns at top edge of plastic tractor or

alignment mark on metal tractor.

10. Move timing collar so that mark on collar aligns

with mark on side frame. Tighten setscrews.

11. Remove forms from tractors. Install signature

patches on imprint cylinder.

12. Move ink roller directly over signature patch on

imprint cylinder. Jog forward, if necessary, so that

imprint cylinder turns to a point where signature patch

should touch ink roller. Adjust ink roll thumbscrews so

ink roll turns when signature patch makes contact.

For darker impression, turn adjustment thumbscrews

clockwise.

NOTE: The signature saddle has been factory

adjusted to fit a .092 thick signature patch. If

adjustment is required to lower or raise the height

of signature saddle for a different signature patch

thickness, release imprinter side plates from their

locked positions. Pull back latch finger to release

plates. Loosen side setscrews to free top setscrew

Turn top setscrew in at half-turn increments until

required height is reached. Tighten side setscrews

and slide imprinter module back into position.

Normal Loading

NOTE: Imprinter must be timed each time you load a

different form into Burster for imprinting.

1. Jog machine forward until timing collar mark is

aligned with side panel mark.

2. Place forms to leading edge to timing mark.

3. Advance (jog) forms forward through imprint area.

Stop leading edge of form in front of slitters.

4. Move slitters to trim proper amount of trim

and engage slitter blades by turning wedgers

counterclockwise. Lock down slitters.

5. Advance forms through slitters and check for

proper slitting. Advance on through to Tear Bar.
