2.10 Custom Folds
To make custom folds, simply use the rulers to
gauge the fold length measured from the paper
stop edge to the fold.
2.11 Stacking Wheels
The Model 1811 is equipped with an Exit
Conveyor and Stacking Wheels for trouble free
document stacking. The Stacking Wheels must
be set to the correct position for the paper type
and fold style in order for the paper to stack
correctly. A chart with correct stacking wheel
placement for various paper sizes and folds is
located on the Exit Conveyor (see Figure 12).
The Stacking Wheels are held in-place by
friction. To move the Stacking Wheels, simply
slide the Stacking Wheels along the shaft to the
desired position. To determine the correct
stacking wheel position for custom folds, begin
with the Stacking Wheels set in a position equal
to the second fold table paper stop location. For
example, if the Second paper Stop is set for 5
½ inches, then set the Stacking Wheels to 5 ½
Inches. If stacking problems are encountered,
adjust the position of the Stacking Wheels so that
the folded paper drops completely onto the Exit
Conveyor just before the paper makes contact
withthe StackingWheels.

3 Operation
3.1 Automatic Feed Operation
1. Set up the folder as described in section 2 of
these instructions.
2. Turn the power On by depressing the "I" portion
of the Off/On power switch. The green "Power"
LED, located near the Run/Stop button, will be
illuminated.
3. Square the stack of paper to be folded by using
a Martin Yale Model 400 Jogger or by tapping 2
sides of the paper stack against a table or other
hard object.
4. Load paper as specified in Section 2.6.
5. Adjust the Paper Guides as necessary per
section 2.5.
6. Press and release the Run icon (green button)
to initiate folding. The folder will now start
running and process the stack of paper. The
folder will automatically turn off when the paper
runs out. The Run button is located in the lower-
right corner of the Button Panel (See Figure 13).
7. Folder may be stopped at anytime during folding
by pressing the Run/Stop button. NOTE: You
may find it easier to run only a few sheets
before running an entire stack.
This way, adjustments can be made before
running a large quantity of paper.
INSTALLATION / OPERATION / MAINTENANCE
3.2 Feed Adjustments
If the edges of the folded paper do not line
up, adjust the skew by turning the Skew
Adjustment Wheel slightly. Retest with a few
sheets and adjust as necessary to square up
the fold.
If hesitation occurs when automatically
feeding paper, double check the position of
the Paper Guides as described in section
2.5 of this manual. However, if hesitation
continues, the problem could be the type of
paper you are folding, or that the Sheet
Separator is adjusted too tightly.
If you are attempting to fold coated or gloss
stock, switching from a light paper stock to a
heavy paper stock, or switching to a longer
paper length, it may be necessary to
increase the pressure of the paper stack
against the Feed Wheel. The Feed Table lift-
spring tension is factory set to give the best
overall performance. However, this spring
tension is user adjustable. The Feed Table
pressure adjustment lever is located on the
inside frame of the 1811, above the Feed
Table
(See
adjustment lever forward will increase the
feeding force. Note: Too much pressure will
lead to slight paper crumpling on the leading
edge of the paper.
3.3 Manual FeedOperation
The Model 1811 is capable of folding single
sheets or sets of sheets up to 5 pages of
#20 Bond manually (one at a time). To do so,
set up the machine as described earlier in
section 2. With the Feed Table empty of
paper, insert the paper all the way into the
Multi Sheet Bypass until the paper stops.
Press and release the Run/Stop button. Do
not hold onto the paper while the machine is
running or the sheet will be pulled out of your
hand. Instead, gently support the paper.
3.4 Folding Stapled Multiple Sets
The Model 1611 is capable of folding stapled
sets of paper up to 5 sheets of #20 Bond in
the manual method described in section 3.3.
Warning: To prevent jams or roller damage,
always attach the staple parallel to the fold
rollers, always feed the paper stapled edge
first, and avoid using loose fitting staples or
inserting them too close to the edge (less
than 5/16", 8mm).
4 Maintenance
1.
Fold Roller Cleaning
During normal operation, the fold rollers will
become contaminated with paper dust, ink,
copy toner and other performance inhibiting
materials. At some point this will cause
problems such as wrinkling or marking the
paper and even miss-folds or paper jams. At
which time, cleaning the rollers will be
necessary. Follow these steps to gain
access to the rollers:
1. Disconnect the power cord from the
outlet
2. Remove both Fold Tables
Figure
3).
Pushing
the
Fig. 13
5
3. Remove 2 Phillips screws from the Top
Cover, and remove the TopCover.
Clean the exposed rollers by spraying
Martin Yale Roller Cleaner and Rejuvenator
onto a clean cloth and wiping until all
contaminates are removed. While wiping
the rollers, rotate the rollers to insure that
the entire surface of the roller is cleaned.
Mild soap and water solution may also be
used. Avoid getting cleaning solutions into
the bearing surfaces. If the fold rollers
become glazed or shiny, it may be necessary
to return them to a dull luster by using a
lightly abrasive non-metallic scouring pad.
Never use metal pads such as steel wool or
sand paper, as the shavings or grit will
damage the roller and bearing surfaces.
2.
Clearing Paper Jams
Use the following steps to clear a paperjam:
1. Disconnect power to the folder
2. Remove the First and Second Fold
Tables
3. Pull the jammed paper out from any area
where it is accessible. The paper may be
pulled from either Fold Table or Exit
Conveyor
If the jam cannot be cleared using the above
steps, perform the following:
1. With a large flat bladed screwdriver,insert
and
engage
the rollers
Dejamming Port located in the Front
Cover.
2. While pulling on any exposed paper,
rotate the screwdriver in either directionto
clear the paper jam.
4.3 Feed WheelCleaning
As with the Fold Rollers, contamination of
the
Feed
Wheel
will
performance.
When
feeding
inconsistent, clean only the outer surface of
the Feed Wheel with a clean dry cloth and
alcohol or a mild soap and water solution.
Avoid getting cleaning solutions into the
bearing surfaces. DO NOT use Martin Yale
Roller Cleaner and Rejuvenator or other
solvent-based cleaner on the Feed Wheel,
as damage to the rubber will result.
4.4 Oiling
The Model 1811 has 8 oil impregnated,
bronze bearings; 2 for each of the four
rubber fold rollers. Generally, these bronze
bearings DO NOT require oiling, except in
cases of extreme use.
If needed, apply a single drop of light
machine oil to each end of the above
mentioned shafts, where the bronze bearing
and shaft meet. DO NOT over oil the bronze
bearings as the oil will eventually transfer to
yourpaper.
To gain access to all 8 bronze bearings,
remove both Fold Tables and the Top Cover
per the steps in section 4.2 - Clearing Paper
Jams.
