INTRODUCTION PREFACE The Auto Pro Touch is a precision Pneumatic Numbering, Perforating, and Scoring machine. With its intuitive touchscreen design it can perform up to 12 numbers per page. It has an automatic bottom friction feed that is easy to setup. The bottom feed caliper assembly self-fans the paper for a smooth consistent feed.
Air Compressor with Min 60 PSI. (Not Included) NOTE: Older buildings, overloaded lines, and bad grounds can affect the operation of your Auto Pro Touch. A regulated dedicated line is recommended. Operating the machine through a power strip is not recommended.

Each machine is tested and will come to you with the feed rails squared by our quality assurance department. The feed rails on your Auto Pro Touch are designed to adjust easily in case of a problem with skewed feeding. By loosening the feed rail alignment lock knobs you can move each rail independently to square them to your stock.
PAPER CALIPER ASSEMBLY COMPONENT IDENTIFICATION Height Adjustment Knob - WRASAAM0610 Raises and lowers stationary roller to adjust for paper thickness. Height Adjustment Lock Knob - WRASAAM0600 Locks the height adjustment assembly in position after correct setting is achieved.

PAPER CALIPER ASSEMBLY HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT FOR PAPER THICKNESS To adjust this for your job, turn your Auto Pro Touch on and set the machine to run. Loosen the height adjustment lock. Hold a sheet under the Caliper Assembly and using the height adjustment knob lower the assembly until you feel a slight pull.
CHANGING THE STATIONARY WHEEL The stationary wheel is a consumable part. After use it will develop flat spots and should be turned frequently so paper is always being presented to a round surface, not a flat spot. If you are having a problem with doubles on thinner stocks, try replacing this roller. This is very simply done by removing the wheel bolt and replacing the wheel.
DO NOT USE BLANKET WASH! • The Auto Pro Touch is capable of running 14 lb. single sheets, 6 part forms and 80 lb. cover. Its flexibility is directly related to the operator’s experience. •...
The red light for X4 should be illuminated when there is a piece of paper blocking the sensor. If not the sensor needs to be replaced. 3. If all above steps work correctly sensor is working properly, if not, contact the Count Machinery Company service department.
NUMBERING HEAD Power Cord Vertical Bracket Height Adjustment Lock Down Knob Screw U Frame Assembly Repeat Selector Air Head Connector and Cord Numbering Head The Numbering Heads can be operated simultaneously and the wheelset can be rotated by hand in any direction.
DEPRESSING A WHEEL The standard Pneumatic Numbering Head can recess the first four (4) wheels so there is no image when striking. For example, to print the number 4750 instead of 0004750, you will need to depress the first three wheels. To do so, remove the Numbering Head from the Head Bracket and hold it upside down resting it on a flat surface.
ADJUSTING THE VERTICAL BRACKET The machine comes with the numbering head leveled correctly from the factory. The top of the vertical bracket is slotted to allow for movement. The effect of this movement depends on the orientation of the head. To make an adjustment to the vertical bracket, simply loosen the top screw and slide toward the direction desired, then retighten the screw.
“2.” The head will now strike the same number twice. NOTE: After selecting a repeat sequence, replace head and run a test sheet through the Auto Pro Touch. You should get this: If you get this: The number changes at the wrong strike, the wheel cam is not in sync with the paper.

button on the top of the numbering head one (1) time. The cam is now in the correct changing sequence.
INK CARTRIDGE The ink cartridge slides under the swing arm and locks into place. When installing a new ink cartridge, first remove the foam pad using an X-acto knife and place a small cut into the reservoir. This will supply ink to the foam through the action of the swing arm. Start with a small hole as it is easier to make the hole larger, but if you start with the hole too large you cannot control the flow of the ink.
PERF SHAFT & STRIKE PLATE A – Support Bar – W-OF0232 This is the shaft that the roller wheels and perf score are mounted on. B – Lower Sensor Eye Assy. – M-S0E1317 Located in the platen strike plate. REMOVING THE PERF SHAFT Remove the non operator side cover.
The perf depth is adjustable by the screw on the top of the upper assembly. The tighter you turn the screw the more pressure and thus the deeper the perforation. As the Auto Pro Touch can perforate through a wide variety of stocks this is a very important adjustment. For a good standard starting point use your T-handle wrench to tighten the spring loaded screw on the upper assembly until you feel the perf blade touch the lower assembly.
GRIPPER WHEEL PERF-SCORE MOUNTING The rollers will come from the factory set up to run an 8.5in sheet of paper. When changing paper size all the rollers should be placed in the paper path and evenly spaced. The rollers should never be placed within 1in of the edge of the sheet of paper. The more rollers used the more control you have on the sheet.
