Before switching the machine on, test the action of the upper blade as it moves to meet the lower
blade. This is vitally important, as otherwise the cross cutter may be damaged.
1.5 Testing the forms cutter
Before beginning to operate the forms cutter remove the protective covering from the feed plate. If it is not
removed, the paper will become statically charged and will affect the cutting process.
This check is absolutely essential as the machine may have become maladjusted during transport.
Proceed as follows:
1. Unscrew the housing from the right side wall of the forms cutter.
2. Slowly turn by hand the large belt pulley to which the connecting rod is fastened. No strong resistance should
be felt.
3. Raise the upper blade to its maximum position by turning the pulley. From the back of the forms cutter
insert a sheet of paper on the far left between the upper and lower blades and perform a cross cut by
turning the pulley slowly. The cross cutter should begin cutting approx. 10 mm from the left edge.
4. If necessary adjust the engagement of the blades by turning the adjusting screw .
5. Screw the housing in position.
6. Before connecting the power supply check the voltage again.
7. Connect the power supply. The forms cutter is now ready for operation.

2. Starting up
2.1 Switching the machine on
The machine is switched on by the power switch. The
display then shows a message for about 3 seconds
(display version, serial no., model no.), which can be held
in the display by pressing the stop button.
When the button is pressed again the current counter
position appears. When the button is released, the
program last used is shown. If any other equipment is
connected, it will return to its starting position (e.g.
lowering stacker).
2.2 Selecting the program
The display shows the program last used. If you wan t to use a different program, you can select it with buttons F1-F4.
New programs can be entered in program slot 00 only, and stored in slots 01-83 (see also Section 3.3 "The
programming level”). Every time the machine is switched on, fixed programs from the EPROM memory overwrite
program slots 84-99.
2.3 Loading paper
2.3.1 Inserting the paper
Open both tractor covers and release the tractor
screws . Set the tractors at approximately the width of
the paper but do not lock them. Insert the paper. Make
sure that the leading edge is cleanly torn off, as
otherwise the paper will not be cut on the cross-
perforation. Now close the tractor covers and position
the paper in the centre of the machine. Use the centre
paper guide as an aid. Fix the screws on one of the
tractors and adjust the tension of the paper by moving
the second tractor. The paper should be neither very
tight nor very loose. Then fix the screws on the
secound tractor.
Fine adjustment: This device can be used to fine adjust
the tractor to a certain position using the adjusti ng wheel
(position the tractor first).
2.3.2 Adjusting the edge blades
Release the screws of the edge blades and fix then after setting to the desired width. T he maximum width is 28
mm (option available: extra wide edge cutter max. 60 mm). The red arrow indicates the cutting position of the edge
blade. After setting the required width, lock both edge blade blocks again.
Fine adjustment: This device can be used to fine adjust the edge cu tter to a certain cutting position using the
adjusting wheel (position the edge cutter first).

2.3.3 Automatic positioning of the forms
After the paper has ben inserted, series 6600 forms cutters position the forms automatically at the bl ade edge on
starting or on changing programs. The central paper guide contains a light-guide fibre optics system, which has two
functions:
1. Recognising end-of-paper
2. Automatic positioning of paper on the cutting edge
If the paper is inserted in the tractors in such a way that it does not reach the optical scanner, the tractors will
transport the paper automatically forwards to the scanner after the Start button has been pressed, and then under
the cross blade for the first cut.
If the paper is inserted in such a way that it already covers the optical scanner, the tractors will m ove in reverse
direction to the scanner after the Start button has been pressed and then forwards under the cross blade.
Due to this automatic positioning the paper can be inserted without any need to position it accurately. Before paper
is inserted in the machine, it is important to chec k that the leading edge of the paper has been clean ly torn off at the
cross-perforation. This is necessary because, due to the automatic positioning of the paper on the cutting edge, the
forms will otherwise not be cut exactly on the cross-perforation.
The machine automatically recognizes the leading edge of the paper and transports it immediately to the cutting
edge. If the leading edge is damaged or if a piece has already been cut off, the machine will not position the paper
correctly with the cross-perforation on the blade e dge. Any correction made using the fine adjustment control will be
automatically applied each time paper is inserted.
We recommend that you tear off one sheet of paper before every new start. This also helps to prevent j amming due
to the cuts made by the edge blades.
Caution!
The end-of-paper light barrier must not be covered by the paper-holder as this means the
paper cannot be detected.
On starting, the machine would run in reverse direction and would eject the paper in reverse
direction into the tractor.
If the paper-holder becomes twisted during continuous operation so that it covers the light
barrier, the forms cutter will not stop at the end of the paper.
