Digifold Operating the Digifold Adjusting the Paper Gate The standard setting for horizontal adjustment of the paper gate is 6.5mm (1/4") away from the mounting block. Turn disc J to make this adjustment. This setting is only intended as a guide, for instance, sheets with an upward curl will require this setting to be increased.
Operating the Digifold Setting the Back-Stop Place the back-stop on to the adjustable side lay and slide up towards the paper stack allowing a gap (as specified in the above step) before clamping. When the extension table is used for feeding longer sheets, remove clamp type back stop and use the magnetic type back stop as shown in fig.

Digifold Operating the Digifold Feeding Sheets Manually In order to feed heavy stock, very small or very large sheets, embossed or even irregular shaped sheets, it may be required to operate the machine manually. The machine can be programmed and set up in exactly the same way as explained when operating the machine automatically.
Page 24
The Delivery Unit The delivery unit on the Digifold is used to catch the sheets once they have been creased, or folded. WARNING:- The Digifold will start if the delivery unit is not fitted onto the machine. Assemble the delivery unit as shown in FIG 23.1.

Digifold Trouble Shooting Paper crease out of square Check that the sheets are all square and exactly the same size before loading the stack on to the table. Check that the adjustable side lay has been correctly positioned ie. No further than 0.5mm from the paper stack.
On digital media, the feeding performance may be improved if the leading edge of the stack is trimmed before loading onto the Digifold. Check that the air distribution has been correctly set. Check that the air separation has been set high enough to feed the sheets.
Digifold Trouble Shooting Cracking of the Printed Material along the Crease. (continued) When using dry ink or toner based print engines, the material must be fully acclimatised for at least 48 hours before putting an image onto the paper. Paper marking or scratching.
Page 32
Trouble Shooting ’Crunch’ (Paper Jamming) In the event of a paper jam occurring whilst the machine is operating the display window will read ‘crunch”. In order to remove the paper causing the jam:- Push Button 1 and Push Button 2 can be used to manually operate the motor. Push Button 1 will drive paper forward, in short pulses.
With the blade assembly removed, clean the slots and surrounding area within the creasing unit; add a small amount of grease to the slide ways.
