Adj 1.8 Element Hook Position Adjustment - GBC eWire Service Manual

ADJ 1.8 Element Hook Position Adjustment

Use this procedure to adjust the eWire alignment and timing to ensure
that the punched holes are centered on the wire loops during hooking.
The Punched Hole Position Check Tool should be used to aid in making
the adjustments and measurements described in this section.
Inspection Procedure
1) Remove the eWire die from the punch.
2) Remove pins 2 and 33 if using A4 paper or pins 3 and 31 if using
LTR. Refer to the AdvancedPunch Pro Manual for reference on how
to remove a pin.
3) Reinstall the eWire die in the punch.
4) Do GP 6.2.2 to decrease the CLOSING value by 4 or to the lowest
value possible. Make a note of the initial setting.
5) Run a single book, with 3 sheets. Paper weight must be between 75
and 90 gsm. Do not use covers. When setting up this print job, run a
test sheet that is punched, but not bound to verify acceptable sheet
curl see Book Quality Section 3.5.2. Minimizing curl will improve the
accuracy of the following procedure. If necessary, adjust printer
settings to reduce curl.
6) Remove the book from the book drawer taking note of its orientation.
Depending on the current settings for Deflector Timing, Alignment
and Skew, a J244 or J202 jam may occur from a sheet/s remaining in
Area 2.
At least one sheet was hooked and bound
Yes- Go to Step 12
No- Go to Step 7
7) If none of the sheets were hooked, the Deflector Timing, Alignment or
Skew setting may be significantly off their optimal values. Record the
initial values of these three settings while doing GP 6.1 to set
ALIGNMENT, DEFLECTOR, and DESKEW ADJUST to 0. Repeat
step 5-6.
At least one sheet was hooked and bound
Yes- Go to Step 12
Repairs/Adjustments
No- Go to Step 8
8) Do GP 6.3.9 to increase DEFLECTOR by 1mm. Repeat step 5-6.
At least one sheet was hooked and bound
Yes- Go to Step 12
No- Repeat this step until the maximum value is reached. If it remains
that no sheets are hooking, set DEFLECTOR at 0 and go to Step 9.
9) Do GP 6.3.9 to decrease DEFLECTOR by 1mm. Repeat step 5-6.
At least one sheet was hooked and bound
Yes- Go to Step 12
No- Repeat this step until the minimum value is reached. If it remains
that no sheets are hooking, set DEFLECTOR at 0 and go to Step 10.
10) Do GP 6.2.1 to increase ALIGNMENT by 1mm. Repeat step 5-6.
At least one sheet was hooked and bound
Yes- Go to Step 12
No- Repeat this step until the maximum value is reached. If it remains
that no sheets are hooking, set ALLIGNMENT at 0 and go to Step 11.
11) Do GP 6.2.1 to decrease ALIGNMENT by 1mm. Repeat step 5-6.
At least one sheet was hooked and bound
Yes- Go to Step 12
No- Repeat this step until the minimum value is reached. If it remains
that no sheets are hooking, return ALIGNMENT, DEFLECTOR, and
DESKEW ADJUST to their initial values and return to the trouble
shooting step that directed you here.
