OPERATOR MAINTENANCE
1. I t is recommended to let forms cool for one-half hour, from the laser printer, before folding. This allows toner to set
on the forms and static electricity to discharge. The FD 402 Jogger is recommended for best results. The Jogger
squares the forms and dissipates heat and static electricity created by laser printers.
2. Clean in-feed tires and fold rollers with Formax recommended roller cleaner & rejuvenator to remove paper dust and
toner. A Formax Cleaner Kit is available from your dealer. A damp cloth with water is the best alternative.
CAUTION: Do not use any chemicals other than the roller cleaner & rejuvenator or water.

Fold Rollers
1. Make sure machine is turned off and unplugged. All folders
have four (4) rubber rollers (Fig. 15).
2. Remove the upper and lower fold plates.
3. Using Formax roller cleaner, spray a new cotton cloth until
the cloth is saturated. Wipe the wet cloth in a back and forth
motion making sure to clean the entire surface of the fold and
seal rollers. Next use a dry cloth and wipe off excess toner.
The cloth should be covered with black toner surplus from
cleaning the rollers.
4. Run 10-15 sheets of blank copy paper through the folder to
ensure all cleaner has been removed from the fold rollers.
Running blank sheets will remove any excess residue of
cleaner on the rollers.
