Sheet Edges Do Not Align

The sheet edges do not
align even though it is
folded in correct setting.
The sheet is static.
- The sheet immediately after printed by the laser
printer at high printing speed is hot and dry because
it is compressed and delivered by the toner trans-
ferring rollers.
Especially in winter season, the sheet described
above becomes static and it sticks on the metal
part, such as buckle chute, and can not reach the
buckle chute stopper. In case of the short folding
pattern that the large part of the sheet enters the
buckle chute, the sheet is more likely to be effected
by the statics.
[Remedy]
- The sheet printed by the high speed laser
printer should be left for a while to cool it down
and adapt to the temperature and humidity
before folding.
- The static is reduced by jogging the sheet
using the jogging machine.
- Lower the printing speed on the laser printer.
- Reduce the statics on the laser printer.
Jammed sheet is left in the buckle
chute.
- When removing a jammed sheet, if a scrap of sheet
is left on the back of the buckle chute, it works as a
stopper and the sheet is folded incorrectly.
The sheet has the cross grain direction.
- The cross grain direction sheet is easy to break
against the feed direction. If there is another
problem such as static, the sheet may not reach the
stopper and cause incorrect folding.
Sheet size is incorrect.
- Measure the sheet.
The correct sheet size: (Long Edge)
A3 420 mm
A4 297 mm
B3 515 mm
B4 364 mm

[Additional Information]
The stopper home position is set using the 64
gsm sheet as a standard. Therefore, when
using thinner sheet or cross grain direction,
home position does not match.
It is useful to memorise the stopper setting
that is adjusted for the other types of sheet
using the stopper adjusting knob.
