3. PROGRAMMING
The ironer with feeder and length folder, or with connected cross folder and stacker, enables the user to
create own programs for various types of linen and to adapt some machine parameters, so that the optimal
results in ironing and folding the linen are reached. In total 20 programs are available, where you can
program various own temperatures, ironing speed and also ways of folding. The zero program exists as
well, it is not saved in memory and enables quick creating the program for the disposable use (see User´s
manual).
3.1. OPERATION MODES OF THE LENGTH FOLDER
The folder can work in 3 modes:
FOLDING BY AN ENTERED LENGTH OF FOLDS
If a non-zero length of the fold is entered, the machine switches automatically to the mode of folding by an
entered fold. Without considering the total length, the machine folds the linen to a firmly entered X fold (e.g.
40 cm). This mode is suitable for bed linen. If the last (upper) fold is too short, then it is hidden inside the
folded linen, fig. 3.1.A. If you select length of fold X suitably, you can manage that even the last fold is the
same or almost the same as the other folds.
The display will read - in the operation mode - for example:
P 1 172/170 C front
Fold:35cm 4.2m/min
– „P 1“ is programme number,
– „172/170C“ is real/required temperature,
– „front“ in order to balance load to the front,
– „Fold:35cm“ is entered length of fold,
– „4,2m/min“ is ironing speed
Fig. 3.1.A
FOLDING BY THE PROGRAMMED NUMBER OF FOLDS
If the entered fold length is = 0 cm and non-zero number of folds, the machine will automatically switch to
the mode of folding by entered number of folds. The fold length is - in this case - automatically calculated by
programmed length of linen. This mode is suitable e.g. for table cloth folding, because it provides the middle
fold right in the table cloth center. As a number of folds it must be entered a number of parts, the linen will
be folded from - but not a number of real folds, (see fig.3.1.B - folding by quaters i.e. 4 parts - not 3 folds).
Because accuracy of measuring the linen length is limited, the folds are always counted in centimetres and
the linen is stretched during ironing etc., the result of folding may not always correspond to fig. 3.1.B.
Therefore if the last fold is longer than previous folds, it is necessary to set higher value for the linen length
(it means set 211, 212, 213, .... except of 210 cm) and vice versa and check, so that result is corresponding
to figure, it means so that the length of the last fold was the same as the others.
The display will read - in the operation mode - for example:
P12 168/170 C back
6s/210cm 5.2m/min
– „P12“ is programme number,
– „168/170C“ is real / required temperature,
– „back“ for back linen exit,
– „6s/“ is number of parts,
– „210cm“ is length of linen,
– „5,2m/min“ is ironing speed
Fig. 3.1.B
WITHOUT FOLDING
If a part length = 0 cm and also a number of parts = 0 is set up, the linen will exit without folding.
Then the following picture is on the display:
P 0 170/170 C front
no folding 5.2m/min
– „P 0“ is programme number,
– „170/170C“ real/required temperature,
– „front“ front linen exit,
– „no folding“ ironing without folding
– „5,2m/min“ is ironing speed

3.2. OPERATION MODES OF THE CROSS FOLDER
The cross folder can operate in two modes:
NORMAL FOLD
In this mode the folder can execute 1 – 3 folds, while the linen is always
folded in the half of its length, see fig. 3.2.A.
In this mode there will be on the display e.g.:
P 1 168/170 C back
S:36cm NS:3/10 5.6mt
– „S:36cm“ is entered length of fold
– „NS:3/10“ is number of normal cross folds/quantity of linen in the stack
– „5,6mt“ is ironing speed in m/min
Fig. 3.2.A Normal fold
FRENCH FOLD
In this mode the folder executes 3 folds, while 1. fold is executed in the half, 2. in the third and 3. again in
the half. The result is that edges of the linen are hidden inside, see fig. 3.2.B.
In this mode there will be on the display e.g.:
P 1 168/170 C back
S:36cm FS:3/10 5.6mt
– „FS:3/10“ is number of French cross folds/quantity of linen in the stack
Fig. 3.2.B French fold
3.3. STACKER
The stacker counts automatically the quantity of linen in the stack and after the set quantity is reached, it
drives the stack of linen out. However, if height of the stack exceeds maximal possible limit, the linen is
driven out sooner than the set quantity of linen is reached.
Set quantity is displayed, e.g.:
P 1 168/170 C back
S:36cm NS:3/10 5.6mt
– „NS:3/10“ is number of normal cross folds/quantity of linen in the stack (10 pieces)
3.4. PROGRAMMING
Fig. 3.4.A
In the programming mode, you can set parameters of individual programmes, copy the programmes, and
choose a language for display messages. The programming mode can be activated by selection „2“ from
the main menu, after switching the machine on:

By using „ A “ and „ E “ keys, choose a programme number and confirm by „ I “ key. You will be asked to set
individual parameters of the program step by step, see fig. 3.4.B.
1. Required temperature value in range 10 – 180°C:
Input: [ degrees C ]
Temperature:
According to linen materials, the following temperature setting is recommended:
TEMPERATURE (°C) MATERIAL
80 Polyacryl, Polyamid
105 Polyester, Cellulose
130 Silk
165 Wool, Cotton
170 Flax
Tab. 3.4.A
2. Speed value in range 150 – 800 cm/min:
Input: [ cm/min ]
Machine speed:
The machine executes automatic correction of the speed according to temperature changes. If temperature
decreases, the motion of the roller slows down to achieve quality ironing and to prevent temperature decrease.
If, on contrary, temperature increases, then motion of the roller speeds up. For this reason the speed value
on display in the operation mode will be mostly different than preprogrammed value.
3. Value of the fold length in range 25 – 50 cm:
Input: [ cm ]
Fold length:
Enter zero fold length for the folding mode with the constant number of folds or without folding. When enter
nonzero value, it means folding mode with the constant fold width, the parameters 4 and 5 will be skipped.
4. Number of folds in range 0 – 9:
Number of parts:
Enter zero number of folds for the mode without folding, in this case all following parameters will be skipped.
5. Value of the linen length in range 50 – 999 cm:
Input: [ cm ]
Length of linen:
Following parameters of the program will be displayed only when the cross folder or stacker are connected:
6. Number of cross folds in range 1 – 3:

4. FACTORY SETTING
4.1. DESCRIPTION OF FACTORY PARAMETERS SETTING
WARNING:
THESE PARAMETERS ARE PRESET IN PRODUCTION PLANT AND THERE IS GENERALLY NO
NEED TO CHANGE THEM. INCORRECT SETTING CAN CAUSE DEFECT IN MACHINE FUNCTIONS.
Considering different quality of various kinds of linen, it is possible to achieve better results in folding for the
most often treated kind (e.g. bed sheets or table-cloths) by adjustment of some parameters. Factory setting
is possible to access by selection „2“ from the main menu after starting the machine:
1: Start Ironing
2: Machine Settings
Factory setting is protected by the password. After pressing the key „ K“ (fig. 3.4.A) the request for
password is displayed:

P R I M U S
Factory Settings
and then requests for individual parameters
1. Length of impulse
[Input: 0.001 mm ]
Pulse length:
This parameter is not advisable to change. It has influence to measuring the fold length.
2. Delay of clamps
[Input: x10ms ]
Clamps delay:
It defines the time period between the moment of pressing the linen on the feeding table by pad rollers and
opening the clamps. Suitable time period is 250-400 ms, it means the value 25-40.
3. Setting of 1. fold
[Input: pulses ]
Table distance:
It defines the length of the first fold or alignment the frontal edge of linen with other folds. If the first fold is
longer than others, it means the frontal edge of linen sticks out after folding, it is necessary to decrease the
value of this parameter and vice versa.
4. Correction after measuring the length
[Input: pulses ]
Length correct.:
Due to influence of different speeds of feeding table, pressure roller and ironing rollers, there occurs an
inaccuracy when measuring the linen length. It causes an inaccurate finishing the folding (the last fold is not
in the middle when folding with constant width of the fold, or it has different length than others when folding
with constant number of folds). It is possible to eliminate this inaccuracy by suitable setting of this parameter
for the most frequently used kind of linen. Therefore, if e.g. the last fold is too long, it is necessary to decrease the
value of this parameter and vice versa.
5. Speed factor of the folding table drive
[Input: i factor ]
Motor 2:
It defines ratio of the folding table belts speed to ironing belts speed. Higher value means higher speed of
the folding table.
6. Type of heating
[1:St/2:Gas/3:Elec]
Heating system:
This parameter defines the type of heating and, of course, it must not be changed.
7. Reducing the back fold
[Input: pulses ]
Rear fold cor.:
Fig. 4.1.A without correction with correction
Entering nonzero value causes consecutive reduction of the back fold and correction of inaccuracy of folding, fig. 4.1.A.

505 556 PUB. DATE 11/02 PROGRAMMING MANUAL 11
8. Reducing the folds
[Input: pulses ]
Fold decrease:
Fig. 4.1.B without correction with correction
Entering nonzero value causes consecutive reduction of the fold length and correction of inaccuracy of
folding, fig. 4.1.B.
9. Time period of the back stroke
[Input: seconds]
Reverse operation:
It defines the time period of the ironer back stroke after pressing the key for the back stroke.
Following parameters are displayed only when connecting the cross folder and stacker.
10. Speed of the cross folder belts
Input: [ cm/min ]
Machine speed:
Motion speed of the cross folder inner belts. It is not advisable to change this value. Incorrect value causes
inaccurate cross folding. linen
11. Time for evaluation of linen „askew“
[Input:max 2 digits]
Max.askew ln.time:
Fig. 4.1.C sensors
If the linen comes to the cross folder table askew, it will not be folded and goes behind the cross folder. This
fact is evaluated as the time period between contact of the left and right sensor above the table, fig. 4.1.C.
If this period is longer than this parameter, the linen will be evaluated as „askew“ and it will not be folded
and vice versa.
12. Correction of measuring the length by the cross folder
[Input:max 2 digits]
CF length corr.:
Parameter serves for measuring the length of linen in the cross folder and it is not advisable to change it.
Incorrect value causes inaccurate cross folding.
13. Distance for 2. fold
[Input:max 2 digits]
2nd cross fold:
It defines moment of doing 2. cross fold. The higher is the value, the later the second fold will be done and
vice versa. By this parameter it is possible to set 2. fold exactly in the middle for the most often used kind of
linen. This parameter involves only normal fold, because French fold is done in one third, not in the half of
linen. If only two folds are done, then different parameter is used instead of this one – see item 15.
14. Distance for 3. fold
[Input:max 2 digits]
3rd cross fold:
It defines moment of doing 3. cross fold. The higher is the value, the later the third fold will be done and vice
versa. By this parameter it is possible to set 3. fold exactly in the middle for the most often used kind of linen.
15. Distance when doing 2 folds
[Input:max 2 digits]
2nd fold (2 only):
It defines moment of doing 2. cross fold in case that only 2 folds are done. The higher is the value, the later
the second fold will be done and vice versa. By this parameter it is possible to set 2. fold exactly in the
middle for the most often used kind of linen. If 3 folds are done, then this parameter is not important.
16. Time of the stacker conveyer running
[Input: seconds]
Conveyor time:
Time of running of the stacker driving out conveyer. It is convenient to set the time in such a way, that the
stack of driven out linen is stopped on the sensor at the end of conveyer and it causes the acoustic signal.
By this time period is also possible to set how many stacks of linen can be on the conveyer at the same
time. The longer is the period, the less stack can be on the conveyer and vice versa.
