If the glue amount has become appropriate, adjustment of glue amount to the book of GLU-AMT1 stack thickness between 0 and
1.4mm is completed.
Go to the step 8).
8) Print out a sample booklet of stack thickness 1.5 to 25.0mm
As same as GLU-AMT1, go to Service mode> SORTER> Adjust> and adjust the value of GLU-AMT2 to 6 for each stack.
- Stack thickness (1.5 to 3.4mm): Service mode> SORTER> Adjust> GLU-AMT2
- Stack thickness (3.5 to 6.4mm): Service mode> SORTER> Adjust> GLU-AMT3
- Stack thickness (6.5 to 11.4mm): Service mode> SORTER> Adjust> GLU-AMT4
- Stack thickness (11.5 to 22.4mm): Service mode> SORTER> Adjust> GLU-AMT5
- Stack thickness (22.5 to 25.0mm): Service mode> SORTER> Adjust> GLU-AMT6
If Service mode> SORTER> Adjust> GLU-AMT 1 to 6 has been adjusted to the stack thickness in its 6 levels, the adjustment of
the glue amount for plain paper is completed.
[References]
It is not needed to adjust all the GLU-AMT from 1 to 6 for every time.
When GLUING is in the state of the time shipped from factory and after adjusting all the GLU-AMT from 1 to 6, if an adjustment
of glue amount is required with a specific stack thickness, then adjust the GLU-AMT of the relevant stack thickness only.
<Adjusting the glue amount for coated paper>
When to perform the adjustment of spread glue amount for coated paper following "Procedure to adjusting the spread glue amount
for plain paper", perform the work as the same procedure as the step 1) and the step 5) to 8) of "Procedure to adjusting the spread
glue amount for plain paper".
[Caution]
When to adjust the service mode for coated paper in the step 6) and 8), adjust the service modes for coated paper as follows:
<Service modes for plain paper>
GLU-AMT1
GLU-AMT2
GLU-AMT3
GLU-AMT4
GLU-AMT5
GLU-AMT6
Points to Note :
Here is the explanation of the complementary information on adding glue and the points to note in works associated with adjusting
spread glue amount:
A) Complementary information on adding glue
As the quantity of glue granules supplied into the glue vat by a supply operation is taken as 3 to 4 granules by calculation, the
quantity of glue granules in the supply operation is not actually counted. In case the glue granules are not properly supplied with
a supply operation due to an assumable failure such as follows, the glue level may decrease and the glue amount applied to the
book during a consecutive printing of books may vary.
- Glue granules clogged in the glue vat and a supply operation supplies only 1 or 2 granules.
- Glue granules clogs in the glue supply route.
Even if the above situation occurred, if the glue supply after having the problem is normal, the condition of glue application will
return to normal.
In addition, the glue amount may appear changed as the value controlled by GLU-AMT changes when stack thickness of book
is suddenly changed between jobs or when the media is changed from plain paper to coated paper even in a same thickness of
the stack.
B) Setting value of Service mode> SORTER> Adjust> GLU-LOW/GLU-UP
Be sure to enter the figures described on the label of the glue vat because the 2 values of this service mode control the glue
amount in the glue vat.
Change of GLU-LOW induces a variation of spread glue amount or an error.
Change of GLU-UP induces a variation of spread glue amount or an overflow of glue.
