Paper Guide Adjustment; Exit Ramp Set-Up; Stacking Wheel Set-Up - Martin Yale 1701 Instruction Manual

2.3 Paper Guide Adjustment

Note: the folder is factory adjusted for standard 8.5" paper.
The paper guides feature a dual-purpose adjustment; paper width and skew. These are accomplished with thumb-
screws (Fig. 7). Skew adjustment is factory set to be square with the rollers and should not need adjusting. Skew
adjustment is only necessary when the paper is not cut squarely or has irregular edges.
To adjust the paper guide width and/or skew, follow these steps:
1. Loosen both paper guide thumbscrews slightly and slide the
guides outward.
2. Lift the retarder assembly with the single sheet lever (Fig. 14)
and slide a single sheet of the desired paper size under it.
While holding the retarder assembly up, nestle the sheet gen-
tly into the rollers until it is in the center of the feed table and
square with the rollers. Lower the retarder assembly to hold
the sheet in place.
3. Slide the paper guides up to the edges of the sheet a lock
securely in place with the thumbscrews. Leave a small gap
(1/64" or .4mm) along the edges of the sheet and guides as
crowded paper will not feed correctly.
4. If the guides are not parallel with the paper edges, correct by turning the skew adjustment thumbscrew slight-
ly. Be aware that skew adjustment is best accomplished after setting the fold tables and running the folder (refer
to section 4.1 for further instructions).

2.4 Exit ramp set-up

Align the tabs on the exit ramp with the corresponding slots on the
conveyor and drop the exit ramp into place (Fig. 8).

2.5 Stacking wheel set-up

The Model 1701 is equipped with a conveyor table and stack-
ing wheels for trouble free document stacking. The stacking
wheel assembly offers three separate positions for the stack-
ing wheels (Fig. 9). The stacking wheels must be in the cor-
rect position for the paper type and fold in order for the paper
to stack correctly. Please refer to the chart with correct stack-
ing wheel placement for various paper sizes and folds on page
4. To move the stacking wheels, lift up on the metal stacking
wheel holder and slide the stacking wheels in to the correct
position as indicated in the chart. Please note that the stack-
ing wheels are not spring loaded, the weight of the stacking
wheel holder simply holds it in place. To determine the cor-
rect stacking wheel position for custom folds, begin with the
stacking wheels in position 'B' and move them to positions 'A'
or 'C' if stack problems are encountered.
