INTRODUCTION
Atlas C102 Creaser
The Atlas C102 is a fully automatic suction feeding creasing system
designed for use with both conventional litho and digital printers.
The feed on the Atlas C102 can also be manually operated for use
with heavy stock, very small or very large sheets, embossed or even irregular
sheets.
The crease is programmed from the leading edge of the sheet using the
controls on the front panel.
The blade and anvil are mechanically controlled over their entire length
and can be adjusted to accommodate various weights of media.
IMPORTANT
The operating environment should be controlled to a temperature between
16° C and 27° C Maximum.

Quick Start Guide
Setting the machine to operate in automatic sheet feed mode
1. Set the gap between the paper gate and the vacuum roller to approximately twice
the thickness of the stock to be creased.
2. Place the stock to be creased onto the loading table against the fixed side lay.
3. Release the clamps on the adjustable side lay and slide up to the paper stack
allowing a gap of approximately 0.5mm (1/64 inch) between the paper and the side
lay.
4. Position the backstop and slide it up to the paper stack, also allowing a gap (as
stated in the above step).
5. Turn the Emergency Stop button clockwise to switch the power on. After the
system start up procedure the touch screen will be displayed as shown below.
WARNING:-
Wait at least 10 seconds, after making any selection on the Touchscreen
panel, before switching the machine OFF. Failure to do so could result in the
data storage being corrupted, and the machine not operating.

Setting the Adjustable Side Lay
Place the paper stack on to the loading table and slide up to the fixed side lay and paper
gate. Release the clamps located at each end of the side lay and slide up towards the
paper stack as demonstrated in Fig. 1. Allow a gap of approximately 0.5mm (1/64 inch)
between the paper and the side lay.
Setting the Back Stop
Position the backstop and slide up towards the paper stack allowing a gap (as specified
in the above step).
Setting the Air Distribution
Depending on the length of the sheet to be creased, the air distribution knob (see Fig. 2) can
be rotated to various positions in order to supply air to different ports. Position 2 is
recommended for most sheet sizes. However, a better result may be obtained by using
the settings below or by experimentation.
Position 0 - For sheets longer than A3 (17”) in order to supply air to the center of the
stack, ports 2 and 3 open.
1 - For A5 sheets or 8 inches long, ports 1 and 2 open.
2 - For A4 sheets or 11 inches long, ports 1 and 3 open.
3 - For sheets longer than A3 (17”) in order to supply air evenly along the stack,
ports 1 and 4 open.
Setting the Air Separation Pressure
To control the amount of air supplied to the ports, the air separation knob can be rotated
clockwise to decrease the pressure or counter-clockwise to increase the pressure.

Adjusting the Paper Gate
Set the height of the Paper Gate to approximately two thicknesses of paper, by turning the
disc j. An excessive gap is a most likely cause of double sheet feeding.
This setting is only intended as a guide, for instance, sheets with an upward curl will
require this setting to be increased.
Setting the Suction Slot
The suction slot is located inside the vacuum roller and can be adjusted by releasing and
moving the suction knob horizontally in either direction to the required position.
For light stocks set the knob to the left and for heavier stocks set the knob to the right.
