Custom
Folds
To make custom folds, simply use the rulers
to gauge the fold length measuredfrom the
paper
stop
edge
to thefold.
2.11
Stacking
Wheels
The Model 1611 is equipped with an Exit
Conveyor and Stacking Wheels for trouble
free document stacking. The Stacking
Wheels
must be set to the correct position for the
paper type and fold style
in
order for the
paper
to
stack correctly. A chart with correct stacking
wheel
placement
for
various
paper sizes and
folds
is
located
ontheExitConveyor.
The Stacking Wheels are held in-place by
friction. To
move
the
Stacking Wheels,
simply
slide the Stacking Wheels along the shaft
to the desired position. To determine the
correct stacking wheel position for custom
folds, begin with the Stacking Wheels set
in a position equal to the second fold table
paper stop location. For example, if the
Second paper Stop is set for 5 ½ inches,
then set the
Stacking
Wheels to 5 ½
Inches.
If stacking
problems
are
encountered,
adjust
the position
of
the Stacking Wheels so that
the
folded paper drops completelyonto the Exit
Conveyor just before the paper makes
contact
withthe
Stacking
Wheels.
3 Operation
3.1 Automatic Feed Operation
1. Set up the folder as described in section
2 of these instructions.
2. Turn the power On by depressing the “I”
portion of the Off/On power switch. The
green “Power” LED, located near the
Run/Stop button, will be illuminated.
3. Square the stack of paper to be folded
by using a Martin Yale Model 400 Jogger
or by tapping 2 sides of the paper stack
against a table or other hard object.
4. Load paper as specified in Section 2.6.
5. Adjust the Paper Guides as necessary
per section 2.5.
6. Press and release the Run button to
initiate folding. The folder will now start
running and process the stack of paper.
The folder will automatically turn off when
the paper runs out. The Run button is
located in the lower-right corner of the
Button Panel (See Figure 11).
7. Folder may be stopped at anytime during
folding by pressing the Run/Stop button.
NOTE: You may find it easier to run only a
few sheets before running an entire stack.
This way, adjustments can be made before
running a large quantity of paper.
3.2 Feed Adjustments
If the edges of the folded paper do not line
up, adjust the skew by turning the Skew
Adjustment Knob slightly. Retest with a few
sheets and adjust as necessary to square
up the fold.
If hesitation occurs when automatically
feeding paper, double check the position of
the Paper Guides as described in section
2.5 of this manual. However, if hesitation
continues, the problem could be the type of
paper you are folding, or that the Retarder
is adjusted too tight.
If you are attempting to fold coated or gloss
stock, it may be necessary to increase the
pressure of the paper stack against the
Feed Wheel. The Feed Table lift-spring
tension is factory set to give the best overall
performance. However, this spring tension
is user adjustable. The Feed Table pressure
adjustment lever is located on the inside
frame of the 1611, below the Feed Table
and above the Second Fold table (See
Figure 3). Raising the adjustment lever will
increase the feeding force.
3.3 Manual Feed Operation
The Model 1611 is capable of folding single
sheets or sets of sheets up to 5 pages of
#20 Bond manually (one at a time). To do
so, set up the machine as described earlier
in section 2. With the Feed Table empty of
paper, insert the paper all the way into the
Multi Sheet Bypass until the paper stops.
Press and release the Run/Stop button.
3.4 Folding Stapled Multiple Sets
The Model 1611 is capable of folding stapled
sets of paper up to 5 sheets of #20 Bond
in the manual method described in section
3.3.
Warning: To prevent jams or roller damage,
always attach the staple parallel to the fold
rollers, always feed the paper stapled edge
first, and avoid using loose fitting staples or
inserting them too close to the edge (less
than 5/16”, 8mm).
4 Maintenance
4.1 Fold Roller Cleaning
During normal operation, the fold rollers will
become contaminated with paper dust, ink,
copy toner and other performance inhibiting
materials. At some point this will cause
problems such as wrinkling or marking the
paper and even miss-folds or paper jams.
At which time, cleaning the rollers will be
necessary. Follow these steps to gain
access to the rollers:
1. Disconnect the power cord from the
outlet
2. Remove both Fold Tables
3. Remove 2 Phillips screws from the Top
Cover, and remove the Top Cover.
Clean the exposed rollers by spraying
Martin Yale Roller Cleaner and Rejuvenator
onto a clean cloth and wiping until all
contaminates are removed. While wiping
the rollers, rotate the rollers to insure that
the entire surface of the roller is cleaned.
Mild soap and water solution may also be
used. Avoid getting cleaning solutions into
the bearing surfaces. If the fold rollers
becomeglazedorshiny,itmaybenecessary
to return them to a dull luster by using a
lightly abrasive non-metallic scouring pad.
Never use metal pads such as steel wool
or sand paper, as the shavings or grit will
damage the roller and bearing surfaces.
4.2 Clearing Paper Jams
Use the following steps to clear a paper
jam:
1. Disconnect power to the folder
2. Remove the First and Second Fold
Tables
3. Pull the jammed paper out from any area
where it is accessible. The paper may
be pulled from either Fold Table or Exit
Conveyor
If the jam cannot be cleared using the above
steps, perform the following:
1. With a large flat bladed screwdriver,
insert and engage the rollers through
the Dejamming Port located in the Front
Cover.
2. While pulling on any exposed paper,
rotate the screwdriver in either direction
to clear the paper jam.
4.3 Feed Wheel Cleaning
As with the Fold Rollers, contamination
of the Feed Wheel will result in poor
performance. When feeding becomes
inconsistent, clean only the outer surface of
the Feed Wheel with a clean dry cloth and
alcohol or a mild soap and water solution.
Avoid getting cleaning solutions into the
bearing surfaces. DO NOT use Martin Yale
Roller Cleaner and Rejuvenator or other
solvent-based cleaner on the Feed Wheel,
as damage to the rubber will result.
4.4 Oiling
The Model 1611 has 10 oil impregnated,
bronze bearings; 2 for each of the four
rubber fold rollers, and 2 for the feed shaft.
Generally, these bronze bearings DO NOT
require oiling, except in cases of extreme
use.
If needed, apply a single drop of light
machine oil to each end of the above
mentioned shafts, where the bronze bearing
and shaft meet. DO NOT over oil the bronze
bearings as the oil will eventually transfer to
your paper.
To gain access to all 10 bronze bearings,
remove both Fold Tables and the Top Cover
per the steps in section 4.2 - Clearing Paper
Jams.
