1.0 INTRODUCTION
Your new 714XLTAir Feed Table Top Folder has been designed to give you many years of useful service provided
it is installed, maintained, and operated according to the instructions in this manual.
Your 714XLTAir Feed is a unique and versatile paper folding machine, capable of folding paper measuring
between 3 x 5 inches (7.6 x 12.7 cm) and 14 x 20 inches (35.5 x 50.8 cm), at speeds up to 35,000 sheets per hour of 8 1/2
x 11 (21.6 x 27.9 cm) and up to 65,000 sheets per hour of 3x5 (7.6x12.7 cm). The XLT will make six types of folds:
single fold, letter fold, fan fold, French fold, double-parallel fold and a double letter fold, with a few simple settings.
(Note: The French fold and double-letter fold requires either two passes or the use of a right-angle unit).
Your 714XLT is built rigid enough to ensure years of trouble-free performance, and at the same time, is compact
enough to fit on any table or desk. It is portable so it can be moved anywhere it is needed.

4.2 Pump Electrical Connections
The pump has a plug/cord set attached. This plug
fits directly into the rear of the lefthand side cover. (See
Figure 4.2-1)
WARNING
Do not plug the power cord into anAC outlet until
the 714XLTAir Feed is fully assembled, adjusted and
ready to use. Unplug the 714XLT any time disassembly is
required.
4.0 ASSEMBLY
4.1 Main Unit
To assemble the 714XLTAir Feed unit, first remove
the four bolts holding it to the skid. Place the folder on the
stand (See Figure 4.1-1).
4.3 Pump Hose Connections
Two hoses come with your 714XLTAir
Feed. (See Figure 4.3-1)

4.4 Slitter Shaft Installation
To install the slitter shaft, hold it with the grooves in
the boxings down. Be sure the slitter shafts are free
turning.
Insert the slitter shaft and seat the grooves in the
boxings on the lower locating pins in the side frames. (See
Figure 4.4-1)
Check for proper gear engagement between the upper
slitter shaft gear and the 19-tooth frame idler gear by
turning the handwheel.

TP10289-3 PAGE6
The first notch in the front part of the feed table
should rest on the pins. Then drop the rear notch down on
the upper dowel pins.
Rotate the handwheel to check that the gears are
properly meshed.
Connect the feed table hoses. Push the fittingsinto
the holes in the manifold block. (See Figure 4.6-2)

5.0 ELECTRICALACCESS
WARNING
Unplug theAC power cord before attempting any
electrical repair.
The motor speed control and counter control are
located under the left-hand side cover. The handwheel
must be removed for access to these controls.
The cover can be removed by taking out the four
screws located on the inside of the frame.
6.0 SETUP
6.1 Setting The Controls
The operator controls are conveniently located on a
control panel on the left-hand side of the 714XLT.
These controls consist of an On/Off power switch,
which is an overload reset, a speed control potentiometer,
a pump On/Off switch, and a counter with zero reset.
Set these initially at:
A) Power Switch Off position
B) Speed Control “0” position
C) Pump Switch Off position
D) Counter “0” position
6.2 Determining Paper Size and Type of Fold
The next step is to determine the paper size and type
of fold to be made, following the steps below:
A) Measure a sample sheet of the job to be run to
determine its size. Retain this information for later use.
B) Refer to the printed chart on the stacker tray (See
Figure 6.2-1) and locate the type of fold that you want to
make. (Example: letter fold)
C) Locate on the chart the columns corresponding
to the sheet size measured in StepA. (Example: 8 1/
2x11)
4.7 Fold Plate Installation
WARNING
Unplug theAC power cord when installing or
removing fold plates.
The fold plates are marked #1 and #2 and are not
interchangeable. The #1 fold plate is installed in the top
position, the #2 fold plate in the lower position.
Each fold plate has an open end which faces toward
the fold rolls.
To install the fold plates, pivot the fold plate hold-
downs out of the way and slide the fold plate in position
so that the slots in the leading edge of the fold plate
engage the two locating pins in the side frames. (See
Figure 4.7-1)
The center notches should seat on the second set of
locating pins. Pivot the fold plate hold-downs back into
position to secure the fold plates.
Turn the handwheel to be sure that the fold plates are
properly installed and not rubbing on the fold rolls.

Gap Knob
6.4 Gap Adjustment
With the machine running, insert two sheets of paper
between the tab and the sucker wheel. Turn the gap knob
counterclockwise until there is a slight drag on the paper.
Remove the paper. The correct gap is now set. (See
Figure 6.4-1)
Figure 6.4-1
D) Locate the point on the chart where the columns
for the type of fold and the sheet size intersect. You will
notice that there are either two letters or a dash and a
letter. These letters and/or dash tell you where to set the
paper stop on the fold plate, and whether or not one of the
fold plates will be installed in the deflector position.
Example #1 ; To make a letter fold to an 8 1/2 x11
sheet, set the paper stops for the #1 and #2 fold plates on
the letter E. No dash appears, so neither fold plate is
installed in the deflector position.
Example #2: To make a single fold to an 8 1/2x11
sheet, install the #2 fold plate in the deflector position.
Set the paper stop for the #1 fold plate at the letter K.
6.3 Paper StopAdjustment
To move the paper stops to the correct position as
determined in step #2, depress the coarse adjustment
knobs on the paper stop and slide the paper stop until the
indicating edge is aligned with the proper letter on the fold
plate. (See Figure 6.3-1)
To obtain an exact setting on the paper stops, turn
the micro-adjustment knobs until the indicating edge of
the paper stop is perfectly aligned with the line adjacent to
the letter on the plate.
Figure 6.3-1

PAGE9 TP10289-3
6.5 Feed TableAdjustment
On the paper feed table there are two guides which
keep the stack of paper properly aligned for feeding into
the folder. Adjust these guides to correspond with the
different widths of paper being fed. (See Figure 6.5-1)
To adjust the paper feed guides, loosen the two side
guide locking knobs on each guide. Slide the guides from
side to side until the insideedge of each guide is aligned
with the number corresponding to the width of the paper
being folded.
Example: For an 8 1/2-in wide sheet, move the side
guides until the inside edges align with the “8 1/2” on the
feed table.
An additional check is to lay a sheet of paper on the
feeder, close to but not touching the side guides. Push the
sheet down into the nip of the fold rolls. Then align the
guide by loosening the adjusting knobs and aligning the
guide so that it is parallel to the edge of the paper. When
one side is square, the other side can be moved into
position.
Tighten the locking knobs to secure the paper guides
in position.
When you load the actual job, you may have to
move these guides slightly to take care of variations in
sheet size. To feed properly, the paper must slide freely
between these guides.
6.6 Air Blow Adjustment
Turn the air blow adjustment on the vacuum/aircontrol
panel fully counterclockwise to the + position. Except for
when very small sheets are being run, the air blow
adjustment is left adjusted for maximum air. (See Figure
6.6-1)
Once the amount of air blow has been selected using the
air blow adjustment, the feeder valve knob may be used to
direct the air (See Figure 6.5-1).
Turn the knob to the right to obtain more blow on the
right side and front of the feed table. Turn the knob to the
left to obtain more blow on the left side and
lessen the front blow.
Turn the vacuum adjustment clockwise all the way
down. This setting is used for most light and medium
papers. Heavy paper will require more vacuum.
7.0 OPERATION
7.1 Loading of Feed Table
Before you can load the paper on the feed table, you
must determine which way the paper is to be loaded by
running a few sample sheets. (Example: printing face up
or face down)
Then you can load a stack of paper no higher than
two inches between the paper feed guides. Let the stack
slide freely down into position between the side guides.
7.2 Starting the Vacuum/Air Feeder
After the vacuum and air adjustments have been
made, start the folder, then start the vacuum/pump.
