) INSTALL IMPRESSION

ROLLER-The

impression roller

is

packed inside a card-

board tube that

is

located under the cylin-

der stand base (Inside the box). The im•

pression roller must be installed

into

the

machine inorder

to

make

copies.

The impression roll&r

is

to

be attached

to

the bracket located directly below the

cylinder. There are

two

brackets, one lo-

cated on each side

of

the machine. The

impression roller has a spring on one end.

Compress

this

end

into

the appropriate

hole (see illustration). It does

not

matter

which side the spring goes into,

left

or

right. Move

the

other end

into

place. Spin

theroller

in

place

to

besure it Is secure.

S}

INSTALL FEED

TABLE-Your

feed table

installs In seconds. There are

two

copper

colored

clips

on the side frames and

two

pins on the lower paper deflector. Insert

the feed table at an angle,

with

the

two

pins corresponding

with

the

two

holes

located

in

the

front

of

the

feed table. The

feed table then comes

to

a rest on the

clips.

Operating

Instructions

IMPORTANT-When finished running copiesalways

mc1

ke sure that

· the cylinder is

left

so that the ink cap

is

straightdown.

Operate machine only on current listed on

motor

specification

plate.

CAUTION-In

the event of a paperjam, turn the

motor

lever

to

"off

",

raise the feed arm

to

up or locked positi-0n, remove

cylinder

if

necessary (see item 12 in your instructions), and turn handle in a

counter clockwise manner to feed the jammed paper

through

while

pulling

this

material

out

of

machine. Be sure that all material

is

·cleared from the throat

of

the machine. Anything

still

left

will cause

recurring jams.

POUR

INK INTO CYLINDER-Your

new

machine comes

with

a cylinder cover,

(piece

of

absorbent paper that is attached

to the

.cy

linder). This

will

be

removed from

the cytinderafter initial inking and discard-

ed.

Tum the cylinder

so

that the ink cap is

facing up. Unscrew cap. Initially squeeze

approximateiy 1½ pounds

of

a good qual-

ity semi-paste ink, (like Heyer

987

series

inks). Liquid (fast drying-super emulsion)

type inks can also be used (like Heyer

977).

If you are using a liquid ink, add.only ¾ to

one pound at a trme.

To speed the inking

of

the pad a small

amount

of

ink can be applied to the pad

surface and worked around the inking

area. After the

pad

has become fully inked,

check the ink leve! with the ink gauge.

There

.ls

a line

on

the ink gauge to indicate

a maximum fili point. Inking past this point

will cause leaking from the sides of your

cyiinder.

, The cylinder will print down to the last

drop

of

ink. If your copy has become

light

check the ink level

with

the ink gauge.

If

the

re

is ink in the cylinder, even

~/

4 inch

indication is adequate for proper inking, it

is time to replace ink

pa

d. Check under

.maintenance on how

to

r

er,

ADJUST COPY

DARKNESS-It

isimpor-

tant that the stencil be properly cut. A

poorly cut stencil cannot produce good

copy even with the many adjustments

pos-

sible on this machine.

It

is also important

to use good quality'ink.

An

ink that is too

thick will not move effectively through the

ink pad and onto the paper, and

an

ink that

is too thin and runny may cause the oppo-

site to occur.

The

darkness of yourcopy can

be

varied

in two ways.

1)

using the speed control and on the

Model 1770

by

the rate

at

which

you turn

the handle. The faster the machine is

running the lighterthe copy will

be.

The

slower the machine is going the darker

the copy will

be.

2)

Varying the impression roller pres-

sure.

Your stencil duplicatoris equipped with

a control that allows

you

to increase

the pressure

of

the impression roller

against the cylinder from 6 lbs. to 8 lbs.

the lighter the copy. The heavier the

When adjusting the impression

roller pressure make sure you adjust

both sides evenly so that the impres-

sion rollerdoes notwearunevenly.
