Adj 1.13 Partial Close Adjustment - GBC eWire Service Manual

6. To adjust the height of the caster, use a 7mm wrench. To raise
the eWire, rotate the caster nut clockwise. To lower the eWire,
rotate the caster nut counter clockwise.
7. After making the required adjustments, check that the top cover
of the eWire is level in both the paper path direction, and front to
back. If it is not level, readjust the casters.
8. After the eWire is at the desired height and level, tighten the jam
nuts to lock the height.
9. Reinstall the Back Cover following REP 1.5 and reengage the

ADJ 1.13 Partial Close Adjustment

In order to remove the cut wire from the Holder module, the Closer will
clamp down on the wire prior to moving away from the Holder. The
amount of travel for this motion is called the Partial Close.
If the partial close value is set too high, the Closer will get stuck when
moving away from the Holder. This will occur primarily when the book
thickness is close to the max thickness for a given size.
If the partial close value is set too low, the book may fall out of the Closer
during transfer. Poor roundness on only one size element could also be a
symptom of partial close too low.
Inspection Procedure
1) Access the Sevice Menu and select Function Tests  Element Cycle
 Feed Element  Partial Close.
2) Open the top cover. The closer jaws should have a cut wire held
inside the jaws and partially clamped.
3) Using a hook, Allen wrench, or similar tool, attempt to pull the wire out
of the Closer jaws. If the element slips out freely with minimal force,
the Partial Close is set too low. Repeat this test on the front and rear.
4) If the element is securely held, try running a book with max sheet
thickness. Verify if a bind jam occurs. If a bind jam occurs, the partial
close is likely set too high.
5) If the clamping force seems different on the front and rear, verify that
the closing is even across the element. Refer to ADJ 1.11
Adjustment Procedure
1) Access the Service Menu and select PARTIAL CLOSE
2) Increase or decrease the Partial Close value based on your findings
from the Inspection Procedure.
3) Repeat the steps in the Inspection procedure to verify if the new value
is correct.
4) If partial close seems correct, run several books to determine if the
problem is resolved. If not, return to the section that directed you
here.
