2.1 Setting the Right Expectations
The following excerpts are copied from sales and marketing literature. This customer
expectation information is helpful for the service technician.
3. Product Positioning
The StreamPunch provides a flexible, cost effective punching solution for light to
medium level production oriented customers.
•Designed for customers that have the need to punch their documents at a
maximum of 60-70% of their overall workflow.
•Recommended punching at 300K average and maximum of 500K sheets per
month.
•Die Sets will decrease in performance over time based on the types of stocks
and weights that are being punched.
•GBC estimates a minimum life of 500K punches per standard die and 4M per
heavy duty die set based on punching 75gsm paper.
•Die sets should be regarded as a long-term supply item.

8
4. Long Edge Feed (LEF) Only
The StreamPunch is designed to punch LEF only. No exceptions. Attempting to
punch a sheet size other than LEF will cause a misfeed.
•Use a colored sheet insert (instead of the tab) in the job workflow for easier tab
insertion after the job has been run.

Section 1
Maintenance
This section contains service call initial action procedures, cleaning and maintenance
procedures, and service call final action procedures.
1.1 Initial Service Action
At the start of every service call, you should perform the following.
1. If called for a problem, determine the exact nature of the service complaint.
2. Determine the cycle count [1] for the punch system.
3. Estimate the cycle life on the Die Sets. Determine if any of the Die Set life cycles
have exceeded 500k sheets (cycles) for Standard Dies and 4M sheets (cycles) for
High Durability dies.
4. Determine if the customer uses only one Die Set pattern (style) or if they switch
between different patterns.
5. Determine the last time the Die Set was lubricated.
6. Determine the date and cycle count of the last preventative maintenance performed
on the punch system.
7. Determine the paper type and quality, especially as it relates to curl and identify if
any media changes correlate with the emergence of the customer issue.

13
1.2 Misfeed Service Action
To clear a misfeed, first press the Stop button on the printer and then check the
printer screen to see the area of the misfeed.
If the misfeed is in the printer or finisher only, follow the information on the screen to
clear the misfeed. If the screen shows a misfeed in the punch, follow this sequence.
To clear a misfeed in the punch:
1. Open the punch cabinet door.
2. Ensure the Chip Bin is not overflowing.
3. Turn punch knob [1] clockwise until the punch is in its home position [2].
Figure 1.1 Set the Punch to Its Home Position.
4. Open the Bypass panel cover [3] and check for obstructions in the Bypass [4].
5. Ensure the Entrance Guide [5] and diverter [6] are clear.

8. Open the bottom U-channel by pressing the lever in [9] and lower the U-
channel and clear the path.
Figure 1.4 Open the Bottom U-Channel.
9. When all the paper is cleared, close the U-channel, Aligner Panels, and
Bypass.
10. Shut the cabinet door.
11. Verify on the printer screen that the misfeed has been cleared. If not,
repeat the above steps.
12. The printing operation should resume.

16
1.3 Die Set Service
The Die Set assembly is not serviceable other than inspection and periodic lubrication.
If a Die Set is at its end of life, it will tend to cause misfeeds due to hanging chips. This
is a result of die plate wear, and not pin wear, which cannot be corrected. When this
occurs, the Die Set should be replaced with a new one.
1.3.1 Die Set Life Expectancy
The StreamPunch Pro standard Die Sets have a minimum life expectancy of 500K
cycles (sheets of paper punched). Heavy Duty die sets have a minimum life
expectancy of 4M cycles (sheets of paper punched). With periodic lubrication and
optimum paper types, life may exceed this number. Variables that affect life
expectancy:
• Failure to follow the lubrication schedule or using the incorrect lubricant
• Variety and types of paper being punched
• Cover stocks being punched
• Other environmental conditions
1.3.2 Die Set Components
1.3.2.1 Maintainable Components
• Shoulder bolt and spring [1]
• Punch pins [2]
• Felt pad [3]
• Floating pressure bar spring (not shown) See “Floating Pressure Bar Spring
Replacement” on page 1.3.2.2.

1.3.2.2 Floating Pressure Bar Spring Replacement
The Die Sets use springs to hold the top plate above the pressure bar [1]. Detents in
the top plate hold the springs in place [2]. Ensure all springs are in place.
1.6 Die Set Floating Pressure Bar Springs.
To replace pressure bar springs:
1. Compress the spring and insert between the top bar and pressure bar.
2. Use a flat screwdriver to position the spring so that the detent holds it in place.
3. Compress the top bar to ensure it moves freely and that it returns.
1.3.3 Die Set Inspection
Inspection Schedule
Inspect every 500K cycles or every 4M cycles for Heavy Duty dies
Replace as needed.
Procedure
Set the Die Set on a table and press the top plate straight down at both ends at the
same time [1] and look for a smooth operation. The top plate and pins should retract
fully when you release.
If a Die Set is at its end of life, it will tend to cause misfeeds due to hanging chips. This
is a result of die plate wear, and not pin wear, which cannot be corrected. When this
occurs, the Die Set should be replaced with a new one.

18
Figure 1.7 Check For Free Movement.
Reinstall the Die Set into the punch and run several sheets of the customer’s paper
through the punch. Inspect the holes.
• Holes should be clean and even with no tearing or frayed edges.
• Holes should be punched completely, leaving no chip attached.
• Holes should be straight (no skew) and evenly spaced from the edge of the paper
and aligned.
1.3.4 Die Set Lubrication
Maintenance Schedule
Lubricate Die Set pins every 50K cycles for standard dies and every 250K cycles
for Heavy Duty dies.
Lubricate shoulder bolts every 200K cycles for standard dies and every 1M cycles
for Heavy Duty dies.
Procedure
Inspect the punch pins for signs of wear or mis-alignment. Periodic lubrication
extends the life of the Die Sets.
The customer or operator can perform this maintenance between technician
inspections.

To lubricate standard Die Set pins that do not have felt pads:
• Depress the Die Set [1] so that the pins protrude from the bottom plate.
• Apply a drop of high quality machine oil to the end of each pin [2].
• Wipe clean, leaving a light coat of oil on them.
• Run the die set to punch 100 sheets or until there is no oil residue around the
punched holes.
To lubricate standard Die Set pins that have felt pads:
• Lubricate with high quality machine oil.
• Apply oil lightly along the length of the pad, but do not over saturate.
• Do not use spray lubricants because they tend to dry up quickly and leave a
sticky residue.
• Run the die set to punch 100 sheets or until there is no oil residue around the
punched holes.
To lubricate Heavy Duty Die Set pins:
• Lubricate with high quality machine oil.
• Apply the oil to the exposed felt material near the pin or any marked oil hole.
• Do not use spray lubricants because they tend to dry up quickly and leave a
sticky residue.
• Run the die set to punch 100 sheets or until there is no oil residue around the
punched holes.
To lubricate shoulder bolts:
• Lubricate the shoulder bolts and springs [2] using a brush to apply PTFE based
grease. Magnalube®-G is an approved grease for this application.
• Make sure the grease coats the bolts.

1.3.5 Hole Alignment inspection
Inspect the hole alignment on the customer’s punched paper. Fold the punched sheet
of paper in half [1] and the punched holes should be aligned evenly along the edge and
centered between the ends [2]. If the punched holes are not aligned, then the Die Set
cradle must be adjusted. For adjustment procedures, see “Centering Punched Holes”
on page 3.1.
