Quick Start
(See machine diagram for parts listing)
1. Turn on machine.
2. To lower tray, press STOP.
3. Put stock in the feed tray, against the fixed guides, front and side. The paper guides (pillars) and back
stop work together to keep the paper aligned and from slipping out of the feeder.
4. Fit tray and outfeed tray extensions as required. Ensure that the stockpile is even and square.
5. Position side guides close to the side and the end with enough gap to let the paper move freely (0.5
mm gap). Never put the guides under the feed head or they may get trapped when the tray lifts. This
could damage the feed head and invalidate the warranty.
6. Set the guides on the exit tray to catch the paper.
7. Adjust front air flow by turning the left knob according to paper weight. i.e. Heavy stock requires more airflow,
turn counterclockwise. Lighter stock requires less airflow, turn clockwise. See section Front Guide Adjustment.
8. Adjust pile height limiter as needed. Clockwise = higher. Counterclockwise = lower. See section Air
Gate Adjustment.
9. Adjust front separator (right knob) according to paper caliper. Thicker = down, turn clockwise.
Thinner =up, turn counterclockwise. See section Front Guide Adjustment.
10. As necessary, adjust crease depth using the 4 screws on crease bar. Clockwise = down.
Counterclockwise = up. Adjust max 1/4 turn evenly on all 4 at a time. See section Crease Depth.
11. Adjust skew as needed to compensate for paper cut out square. Knob down = paper to the right,
knob up = paper to the left.
11
12. For thin paper you may need to use 1 or 2 magnetic deflectors to stop the paper from lifting.
13. Programming a Crease Job:
•Turn on machine. Screen 1 will appear after the welcome page

•Initially in Mode 2, Line [1] flashes (which means data can be input). Input the data from 0-900.0 (accurate to
one decimal place).
•Press ENTER, [1] will stop flashing, [2] will begin flashing.
•Input data, press ENTER.
[2] stop flashing, screen automatically jump to 2nd page.
[3] flashes……
•Input all 32 possible creases following these steps. Note: Each value must be greater than last value.
•If all 32 lines are needed, after the 32nd crease is entered the screen will automatically jump to MODE 1, page
1. Input finished.
•If less than 32 creases are needed, after the last data is inputted (i.e. the 3rd crease), press Enter, Line [4] will
flash, press ENTER again. When line [4] is 0 the screen will jump to main operation mode. Input finished.
Press button/key 2 times, and the machine will go to MODE 3.

MODE 3 Cover Hinge
This is a mode specifically for book cover making. The following is an explanation of the setup and function
of this mode, in which you can input 2 parameters. SPINE and THK.
SPINE means the first spine line to the leading edge.
THK means the thickness of the book, namely the spine width.
The following drawing illustrates 2 parameters leading to 4 lines. The other 2 is 8mm outside of 2 spine lines
as hinge lines.
16
MODE 4 Progressive Crease
If you want to shut down the function, press 1, then Enter. Screen will jump to the main operation mode.
If you want to activate the function, press 2, then Enter. Screen will jump to the following to input settings
for the progressive crease:
17
If all the sheets are creased on same position, the
bounded book cannot be turned over to lay flat like
this drawing.
With 3 crease modes, even thick paper can be
turned over very easily and lay flat after binding.
The illustration for V mode is as follows:
Define the first position and crease gap and the qty in one batch. The first page will be one
line as reference and following sheets will be 2 creases that goes further
successively to the reference line.
In this way the book can be folded with a square back after saddle stitched. The effect
of the above 4 parameters is illustrated in the drawings above.
18
With Progressive Crease function is activated and all input is completed, the screen will jump to the main
operation mode. But the screen is different, and it has only 1 page as follows:
Press M, go to MODE 5. Press M again, go to MODE 6.
MODE 5 Feed Mode
The user can choose Auto feeding mode or Manual feeding mode. Press 1 to choose Auto or 2 to choose
Manual. The chosen mode has a ‘*’ symbol beside it. Press Enter to select mode.
In Auto Mode, put a thick stack of stock on the loading table. Press the START button. The loading table will
rise. After the top paper touches the stack height sensor, the feeding system will begin.
In Manual Mode no stock is placed on the loading table. After the START button is pressed the table will rise
and will stop after the stack height sensor is triggered. Stock can now be fed sheet by sheet into the machine
under the friction of the belt.
Press M button 3 times to go to MODE 4. Press 4 times and to go to Mode 5.
MODE 6 to Recall Job and MODE 6 to Save Job
Frequently used crease data can be saved and recalled, so that the user does not need to have to input data
each time. The system memory holds up to 30 jobs.
