Trouble Shooting Cont….
Booklets are being stapled or folded incorrectly
The side guides (10, 11) or the back stop
(14) are not fixed correctly or at skew
position.
Fix the locking screws of the side guides
and back stop properly. Adjust skew as
necessary.
The side guides (10, 11) are too far apart
from each other, allowing unparalleled
insertion of paper:
Shift side guides more closely together.
The side guides (10, 11) are adjusted too
tightly, causing larger paper formats to
curl during folding which leads to
incorrect stapling.
Shift side guides further apart.
Incorrect adjustment of back stop (14):
Adjust back stop more precisely, so that
the machine folds in the center of the
Sheet.
Paper is not squared up correctly:
Square up paper correctly before firing.
