User Interface The Morgana Pro 385 has a Graphical User Interface (GUI) / Control Panel which allows for setting up jobs and viewing/modifying machine settings and properties. The Pro 385 GUI was designed to have minimal text for intuitive operation across multiple languages.
The Run Screen The Run Screen is where the operator is taken after selecting the “play” button on the Home Screen. This screen displays paper parameters, job status and system status. The operator can start, edit, pause or abort the job from this screen.

1. Basics Paper Paper Guidelines Paper comes in many different makes, types and finishes. There are many different ways to print on the paper and then protect that printed image. The grain direciton, fibre structure, substrate thickness, porosity, coating type, bond strength of the coating, water content, relative humidity and many other things can affect how the paper will behave when you crease and fold it.
Creasing About the Crease A crease stops the paper and printed image of a document from cracking when it is folded. The crease is made when a sheet of paper is compressed between the two parts of a mechanism known as a blade set. The blade set uses an ANVIL and a BLADE to form the crease.
Choose the Correct Crease Blade Set Two different types of blade set are supplied with your machine. Refer to the table below to see which type of blade/set is most suitable for your job. Sheet Thickness Blade Set Crease Width ≥...
Replacing Blade Sets Before removing the blade assembly, ensure that the lower blade / anvil is at “Top Dead Centre”- See the “setting crease” section of this manual Switch the machine off Lift the top cover Using a 5mm allen key, remove the two socket head screws, one at each end of the Blade Set [A] Remove the Sheet Guide Assembly, by...

Replacing Blade Sets (continued) Slide the blade adjustment assemblies and the blade adjustment cams onto the dowels of the new blade set Slide the new blade set into the slots of the creasing unit as shown NOTE: The blade can be fitted with the ANVIL at the bottom or with the ANVIL at the top.
Crease Tilt Knobs allow the user to get a perfectly perpendicular crease on the paper. User adjustment might be needed if crease positions are not perpendicular. AutoCreaser Pro 385 Knob Adjustment Procedure - Blades 1 and 2 From the GUI, select a two-crease...
Page 25
Setting the Crease Tilt Knob (continued) DigiFold Pro 385 Knob Adjustment Procedure - Blade 2 From the GUI, select a one-crease custom fold (see section 2) and load paper. From the fold configuration sub-menu, change both the folding offset values to 0 (see section 2).
Page 26
Setting the Crease Tilt Knob (continued) DigiFold Pro 385 Knob Adjustment Procedure - Blade 1 From the GUI, select a one-crease custom fold (see section 2) and load paper. Turn the folding option off (see section 2). Run a test sheet (see section 2). If the crease is not in the correct position (see figure 3), adjustment is needed.
Folding About the Fold A fold is made when a sheet of paper is pushed through a pair of fold rollers by a fold-knife. This is known as a right-angle fold because the fold is made 90° to the direction of sheet travel.
Page 28
While setting up a job, the roller gaps are set to specified distances automatically. If results are unsatisfactory (i.e. cracking of the print is noticeable), these gaps may need to be adjusted manually to improve results. The table below details the default values for the roller gaps, per fold setting.
Page 29
X represents the thickness of the sheet. Measure the sheet thickness accurately using a digital Vernier Caliper to determine what X is. Example: When producing a Half K1 fold with a 0.10 mm thick sheet of A4 paper, X is equal to 0.10 mm and the Roller Gaps are automatically set to the following values: Gap 1 = X = 0.10 mm Gap 2 = 2X = 0.20 mm...
Deflects About Deflects The FlyingKnife folding system has a unique function that lets the machine pass flat sheets through the fold rollers. This operation is known as a deflect. When you choose to do a half fold on K1 or K2, the fold knife that is not used to fold the document becomes a deflector.
Perforating Using the perforation Once the Machine is set-up, it can be used to perforate or crease. NOTE: 1. Perforating and creasing can be carried out simultaneously. However, if any adjustment is made to the roller tilt mechanism in order to compensate for the perforation line being “out of square”, this may effect the accuracy of the crease.
Page 32
Using a 2mm allen key, loosen the drive hub nearest the perforating drive. Slide the drive hub away from any obstructing drive wheels or hubs in order to mount the anvils. Using a 2.5mm allen key, take one half of the matching pair of anvils and mount to the drive hub.

Calibration Sensor Calibration The Pro 385 has an Ultrasonic Double Sheet Detection (DSD) sensor [A]. If feed errors begin occuring more frequently, this sensor may need to be calibrated. Please contact a certified service technician if calibration is required. Stop Gate Distance Calibration The position of the stop gate [A] may need to be calibrated if feed errors begin occuring more frequently.

Recommended Settings Adjustments It is always recommended to use default settings, however, if default settings are not providing satisfactory results, operator adjustments may be required. The floating portion of the paper stack should be equally distributed, i.e. gaps between each sheet of paper should be equal. To achieve this, the operator may adjust any of the following parameters: -FAN1 Power (Feed Belt Suction Fan): may need to be adjusted to create the proper amount of suction from behind the feed belts;...
Page 63
Recommended Settings Adjustments (continued) The operator can also modify the following settings if default settings are generating misfeeds or jams too frequently: -Stop Gate Position: The stop gate may need to be moved up to ensure single sheet feeding or down to allow for thicker sheets to feed without jamming; -Hsys: The Hsys parameter is the distance between the vacuum drum and unseparated paper stack.
5. Troubleshooting - Fault Codes Pro 385 Fault codes General When there is a misfeed or fault condition in the Pro 385, a message and fault code will be displayed on the GUI. Some fault codes may be rectified by the operator, but some fault codes may only be rectified by a certified service technician.
