Introduction
The PT 330 Mini entry level creaser is an economic solution for printers facing the issue of digital toner
cracking. Keypad programming for simple operation makes for an efficient option to move away from
rotary scoring and into a true die crease with minimal effort. The PT 330 Mini can be placed on an optional
stand or used as a tabletop machine with removable trays to minimize the footprint.

Additional Parts
To hold the stock in place, the PT 330 Mini is equipped with
two different feed guides. The guide indicated with the
arrow should be placed tight against the paper and is held

Operation
Upon initial power on, “Welcome”will appear on the display. The crease motor will cycle once then the
creaser will display the “Ready”screen. The PT 330 Mini is now ready for use. The PT 330 Mini creaser has
five modes. To scroll through the mode options, press M. In each MODE, there may be more than one
page to display different information. To scroll through the information, press the Down ↓or Up ↑arrow.
9
Main Screen
Ready for data input. 0/0 indicates 0 of 0 sheets have been run. Use the
keypad to enter the number of sheets required for the selected job. The
machine will run until the input number of sheets has been completed.
If no number has been input, the machine will run continuously until
the stop button is pressed.
The feed motor will continue to run until the job number is complete.
The other two numbers: 1) and 2) indicate the first and second
programmed crease. If only one crease was programmed, 2) would
display 0.0.
The PT 330 Mini creaser can be programmed for a total of 6 auto
creases. From the main screen, press Down ↓ to see the rest of the
programmed creases. You can only view the programmed creases and
cannot make changes.
Input Crease Data
Press the Mode button once to view this screen. From here, you can
program your creases. Enter the value in Position 1) for the first crease.
Press Enter. Position 2) will flash, indicating it has focus. Continue in this
10
manner until all creases have been programmed. The crease values
must go up (larger than the last).
If you are programming less than six creases, enter the desired creases
then hit enter at the 0 value after the last programmed crease. This will
return you to the ready screen.
Recall Job
Allows you to recall a saved job. Press the Mode button until the display
shows Recall Job. Type the number of the job you wish to recall, and
press enter.
The screen will display “Ready”with the recalled job loaded. The PT 330
Mini creaser can store a total of 30 jobs.
Save Job
Allows the user to save a job. After a job has been successfully
programmed, press Mthree times to get to the “Save Job”screen. Enter
the number under which you would like to save the job and press Enter.
The PT 330 Mini creaser can only save jobs as a number and not as a
name.
Speed
The PT 330 Mini has two speed settings: 1= Low and 2= High. The
asterisk * indicates the current selection.
To change, key in the number of the desired speed on the keypad (1 for
Low, 2 for High) and press Enter.
Troubleshooting
11
The PT 330 Mini is an entry-level creasing machine. From time to time, adjustments and troubleshooting
may be required. See below for a list of common adjustments that will help ensure the best crease
outcome.
Skew Adjustment
Skew adjustment is maintained through the placement of the feed table side guides. The non-operator
side guide is secured with screws but can be adjusted. If the sheets fed are continually coming out skewed,
check the following:
1. Start with a clean stack of evenly cut sheets. 11” x 8.5”is a good test size.
2. Feed the sheets portrait with a crease at 5.5”. This will place a crease in the middle of the sheet.
3. Run a test sheet and check the fold.
4. If the test sheet is skewed, adjust the operator side guide, and run another sheet. Do this several
times. If all sheets fail to come out square, the non-op side guide may require adjustment.
5. Loosen, but do not remove the four screws securing the non-operator side guide to the feed table.
The screws should be loose enough to move the guide by hand but tight enough that test sheets
will not move the guide.
6. Run a test sheet, keeping the operator side guide tight.
7. Continue testing until the sheets come out square.
8. Tighten the non-operator side guide.
Note: The non-operator side guide is set during the Graphic Whizard Quality Check process. This guide
should only be adjusted if the skew is out and the operator side guide placement does not fix the skew.
Please do not test the skew with out of square paper.
12
Crease Depth Adjustment
Adjusting the crease depth too deep will cause crease jams and crease motor lock issues. To adjust the
crease depth, complete the following:
1. Lift the crease cover
2. Locate the two crease adjustment knobs (circled in red).
3. Loosen the 1.5mm set screws below the knobs (smaller red circle).
4. Rotate the knob counterclockwise to increase the crease pressure. Rotate the knob clockwise to
decrease the pressure.
5. Test after each adjustment.
6. When the pressure is even across the sheet, tighten the set screws with a 1.5mm hex tool.
Maintenance
Proper maintenance will prolong the life and functionality of the PT 330 Mini. These maintenance
procedures are recommended with the assumption that the customer is completing daily and weekly
cleaning. To ensure your machine is running at its best, please regularly perform the following:
•Using the GW Roller Cleaner, clean ink/toner dirt and debris from rollers. This should be done
regularly to prevent build-up and protect the integrity of the rollers.
•Follow the rejuvenator cleaning with a wash of water and Simple Green: 1-part Simple Green to
30 parts water. Too much Simple Green will leave a soap residue.
•Lubricate the roller bushings with a 3 in 1 oil. This lubrication will ensure the paper is feeding
properly and prevent the rollers from slowing or sticking.
•Clear paper dust from all sensors with compressed air.
•Clean all surfaces with a water-soluble cleaner.
