Operating Safety Precautions

WARNINGS for Operation

CAUTIONS for Operation

WARNING for Installation

CAUTIONS for Installation

WARNING

This machine must be operated by

just one person at a time.

Turn off the power switch before cleaning or

replacing the feed rollers or the double feed

stop plate.

Do not remove any covers. Electrical

shock can cause severe personal

injury.

Do not touch any moving belts when

removing the sheets. This may cause

severe personal injury.

CAUTION

If you turn off the power switch, wait

about 10 seconds before turning it on

again. Otherwise, the P.C.board may

be damaged.

Do not turn the stopper knobs past

their normal range. This could cause

the sheets to jam, and may damage

the machine.

The stopper knob should only be

turned within a certain range. Do not

use force to turn the stopper knob.

Otherwise, the machine may be damaged.

If the stopper knob is heavy, sheets

may jam inside the buckle chute. Do

not rotate the stopper knob forcibly.

Otherwise, the machine may be damaged.

Span that the stopper knob can turn

smoothly is the movable range. Do

not turn the stopper knob by force.

Otherwise, the machine may be damaged.

WARNING

Be careful when plugging or unplugging the power cord. Do not overload the electrical out-

let supplying power to the machine. This could cause a fire or electrical shock.

CAUTION

Do not install the PF-P3100 in a location where

it will be exposed to direct sunlight, high tem-

perature or humidity.

Do not install the PF-P3100 in a loca-

tion which is dusty. This can cause a

fire or damage the machine.

Do not install the PF-P3100 near any

device which produces strong mag-

netic fields.

Do not install the PF-P3100 on an

unstable floor surface. This may allow

the PF-P3100 to fall over, and this can

cause severe personal injury. This can also

affect the performance of the machine.

Folding Standard Size Sheets

Let's Start Folding

Fan or separate the sheets.

- If the ink on the sheets is wet, allow them to dry before

folding. Wet ink can stain the fold rollers or rub off onto

the other sheets. Wet ink can also cause the paper

feed problems.

- If you are going to fold paper from a photocopier, wait

about 30 minutes to reduce any static electricity.

- Fan the sheets completely and stack them evenly.

Uneven stacking can cause jams or misfeeds. Uneven

stacking can also affect the fold accuracy and delivery

stacking.

- If the sheets are bent or curled, straighten them before

stacking.

Load the sheets in the feed table.

- Push the end of the stack of sheets toward the feed

roller and align the stack with the size marks on the

support table.

- Move the sheet guides against the sides of the stack.

- Do not push the guides too hard against the stacked

sheets, and do not leave any gaps between the

guides and the stacked sheets

Set the support rollers.

- Set the two outer rollers about 10 mm (0.39”) inside the

edges of the stacked sheets.

- Space the other support rollers evenly.

Select the sheet size.

- Press the Sheet Size Select button to select the correct

sheet size.

- To fold custom size sheets, refer to "Folding Custom

Size Sheets" on page 12.

- If you select High speed, set the stopper position 1

mm shorter than the normal stopper position.

(This is because the faster feed speed causes the

sheets to bend.)

position, align the stopper pointer with the left edge

of the lamp.

Two types of folding problems

- Uneven Folding; Refer to the instructions below.

- Fold Skewing: Refer to the instructions on the next page.

- If uneven folding and fold skewing happen at the same time, correct the skewing first. See the instructions on the next

page.

Correcting Uneven Folding

Correcting for uneven folding

Use the stopper knobs to correct uneven

folding.

- Turn each stopper knob by small amount, and then

check the fold.

- If the folding problem cannot be corrected following

the instructions on these pages 9 and 10, refer to "If

there is a fold problem:" on page 23.

- The illustration below shows the sheet as it is

delivered into the delivery tray. Turn the stopper knob

to change the length of the part of the sheet.
