Page 5: General Operation
1.0 GENERAL OPERATION The GW 6000 is a numbering, perforating, scoring, and slitting system. It operates at three speeds that is factory programmed to print 6000 sheets per hour, assuming 1 hit per page and a 15 millisecond solenoid pulse width. The operation of the machine is controlled by a microprocessor with an LED display and keypad interface. -
Page 6: Cautions Concerning Machine
1.3 CAUTIONS CONCERNING MACHINE CAUTION – The solenoids may get hot during operation. Do not touch the solenoid case while the machine is running and until it has been given enough time to cool down. CAUTION – The motor may get hot during normal operation use. -

2.0 MACHINE ASSEMBLY 2.1 Feed and Exit Trays The feed and exit tray assemblies are comprised of SIDE GUIDE four components each: the tray, two tray side guides and a CENTER SLOT GUIDE centre slot cover (see Figure 1a). The trays sit in the machine on mounting pins inside the machine's side frames as shown in Figure 1b and 1c. -

position of the magnets depends on the stock being processed, but the magnets should be set such that the stock does not slide down the exit tray too far, possibly causing sheets to get in uncollated order. 2.2 Numbering Heads The numbering heads are already secured Drive Unit Mount Block to the drive unit by two screws through... -

The numbering heads also have a repeat function. The repeat selector (see Figure 3) allows a C-Clip number to be repeated from one to four times. By Locking leaving the repeat selector in the "0" position, the Spring Repeat Bushing Selector number will not change when the head returns to the Adjustment... -
Page 10: Operating Keyboard
3.0 Operating Keyboard Figure 4: OPERATING KEYBOARD The operating keyboard is comprised of six LED segments, various buttons and a Impression Control which consist of one potentiometer knobs that control the crash strength of the numbering heads, and can be adjusted to best suit the requirements of the job. For example, you may require stronger crash numbering for carbonless sets than for single sheet bond paper. -
Page 11: Clearing A Program
3.3 Clearing A Program To completely clear a program from the memory insert a paper in the feed tray. Press the SET/FWD button. The paper will then feed through and stop at 75. Press the CLR button and hold it down, next press the H2 button and this will clear the memory. -
Page 12: Setting Up A Job
4.2 Setting Feed Tire Pressure The friction feed system used in automatic Graphic Whizard machines is unique. It utilises three top feed tires to feed sheets through with a consistent pull along the full lead edge of the sheet, and a continuous width sheet retarder (the strip of fine sandpaper on the feed platen) to separate sheets and prevent double feeding. - Page 13 If a feed tire is set too close to the edge of the sheet, its feeding efficiency will be affected by variances in the stock such as sheet curl and inconsistent glue thickness on multiple padded forms. Improper setting of the feed tires can cause random skewing problems. Warning: All feed and exit tires, and perf/score/slit boss wheels use setscrews to secure their positions.
-
Page 14: Perforating/Slitting
All three feed tires should be adjusted to the same pressure setting to minimise skewing. To check that all the feed tires are adjusted to the same pressure, tear a strip off the stock being run and pass it under each feed tire separately. You should sense the same amount of drag under each feed tire. A tighter feed tire pressure on one side of the sheet will cause faster feeding of that side of the sheet (the sheet will skew or twist towards the feed tire with tighter pressure). -
Page 15: Scoring
Using the small hexdriver, move the bottom boss wheel to the approximate location of the desired perforation or slit. (Note: Keep all of the setscrews of the boss wheel in line on the shaft.) Move the accessory holder to the position desired where the perf/slit blade will ride on the flat surface of the boss wheel (see Figure 8) and tighten the position locking set screw into the keyway of the square shaft (using the large hexdriver). -
Page 16: Main Rollers
through this section, so you do not encounter any skew, which you may encounter if you only had a perf/score/slit wheel contacting the paper before going through the main rollers. 4.6 Main Rollers The main rollers are comprised of a bottom solid roller with 6 and 4 adjustable rollers on top. The top rollers are mounted on a spring-loaded shaft, to maintain pressure down to the bottom solid roller. -

To turn the numbering head so that it prints the number in the correct rotation, first loosen the rotation lock screw on the numbering head mount block, just above the numbering head. The numbering head will then be free to rotate to the desired orientation. When satisfied, be sure that the head has been returned to the print position and all knobs have been tightened. -

the job, there will be a need to increase the Impression Control to maintain a consistent hit over the whole job. 4.11 Flatness of Impression It is best to check for the flatness of the impression on the bottom crash copy from a carbonless set. -
Page 19: Setting The Repeat Selector
Each individual numbering wheel can be rotated to the appropriate starting number using the change stick provided in the accessory kit. Remember that the standard head counts backwards so the number that you set to start the job on will be the last number required. If you do not require all the digits to print (ie. -

2) Lower your left hand while holding on to the pile firmly with your right hand. 3) Hold the pile tight with your left hand and loosely with the right. 4) Return the left hand to its original position. 5) Repeat steps 1 through 4 until adequate fanning is obtained. Try fanning while holding the stack in a vertical, upright position, with the glued edge resting on a table. -

the head to dry completely (ie. leave it standing overnight) or blow it dry with compressed air. Wipe the head and reinstall. Important: Do not use solvents. Solvents will strip out the lubricants from the head, allow corrosion and impair the correct functioning of the print head. 6.2 Machine Cleaning After each job, or midway through a very large job, clean the feed tires. -

Being a mechanical process, alignment of the individual parts is very important. Remove the numbering head from the machine. Pressing down on the numbering head shaft, you will see the numbering head frame slide down the print head frame.
