hand edge of the forms under the form clamp wire
which slides out of the rear form guide. Position the form
cuides on the rear form guide assembly so the form parts
feed properly into the carbon blades. Move the truck to
the front of the carrier. Again position the form properly
to the carbon blades and align the· front form guides,
located on the tear-off knife, to the edges of the form.
Front and rear form guides should be set to the width of
the form, allowing a clearance of about 1/32" at the edges.
The carbon blades should be loaded with carbon, either
in sheets or in packs, by placing the fold over the blade
and attaching a clip. The carbon side should face up and
the carbon sheets should be clipped on the blades squarely.
if there is a tendency for the carbon to run out of either
side of the form, the carbon should be shifted on the
blade slightly off from square. Set the carbon shift stop
to allow the carbon to be shifted to a point approximately
5/S" below the next form.
Most applications require a heavier carbon sheet or a
blank sheet behind the original form, to prevent the type
from embossing the form. The supply of forms should
always be located as high as possible under the rear form
guide to facilitate paper feed and to insure faultless line
spacing.
REMOVAL AND ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
Formscarrier Removal
THE FORMSCARRIER may be removed from the Forms-
writer by pressing inward and raising the small latches
on the front· formscarrier bracket, where it rests on the
carriage tie rod bushings.
The formscarrier support may be removed by springing
the frame of the support outward far enough to disengage
the support from the mounting brackets.
Formscarrier Adjustments
1. THE FORMSCARRIER SUPPORT is adjusted by shifting
its brackets on the elongated holes, where they attach to
the side frames, until the bottom bracket holes have been
moved to the rear. This adjustment will raise the rear of
the formacamer, aiding paper feed, since the carbon truck
will run easily downward toward the front of the machine.
Removal of the rear cover will be necessary for this
adjustment.
2.
THE TWO-WHEELED TRUCK attached to the bottom
of the carrier by means of screws in elongated holes, should
be adjusted forward or backward until its nylon rollers
rest centrally on the rail of the formacarrier support. This
adjustment is observed with the formscarrier latched
to
the formswriter.
