5 Folding Quality Troubleshooting

5 - 1 Sheets Are Wrinkled

Are the sheets curled or concaved?
Curled Concaved
- The sheets immediately after printed or left in the
humid place for long time may change shape as
shown above. If these sheets pass through the rubber
rollers, sheets may get wrinkles. Instruct the operator
to flatten the sheet out or dry the sheets before fold-
ing.
- The wrapping of the sheets blocks the humidity. If
the wrapping is opened and left for a long time,
the sheet becomes damp from outside but dry
inside. Therefore, the sheet becomes concave.
- The recycled papers are more likely to be effected
by the humidity.

Is the buckle chute unit installed incorrectly?

Support Shaft
Push the buckle chute
unit until it hits against the positioning
shaft and stops. (Buckle chute is
locked by the support shaft.)
- If the buckle chute is installed incorrectly, space

made by the fold rollers and buckle chute entrance is

increased and causes wrinkles and double step fold-
ing.
- Push the buckle chute until U-shaped gutter on the
side of the buckle chute hits against the positioning
shaft and stops.

- If the tray gate is deformed and does not align with
the fold roller at the center, the sheet path becomes
narrower at a certain place and the resistance for
sheet transportation is greater, and cause sheet wrin-
kles. Remove the tray gate and correct the deforma-
tion. (Distortion: within 0.1 mm [0.004"])
- If jammed sheet on the tray gate is removed forcibly,
the tray gate can be deformed. Instruct the operator
how to remove the jammed sheet.
If the entrance of the first buckle chute is
deformed downward, folded sheet is wrinkled.
(Flatten the buckle chute.)
Upward deformation
is not a cause for wrinkles.
