Troubleshooting

PROBLEM:
Folder will not start
Paper will not feed
Paper folding incorrectly
Overload
"PAPER ERR" displayed on
control panel
SOLUTION:
Check that power cord is plugged into the folder and an electrical outlet
Check that the power switch is ON
Adjust the paper guides so a single sheet of paper slides freely
between the guides without excessive play
Check to be sure the paper is properly loaded in the infeed tray, with the
leading edge under the feed tires.
Check that fold plates are inserted correctly (upper on top, lower on bottom)
and that they're properly seated on their alignment pins
Check the fold stops to be sure they match the positions show on the guide
(see page 3) and that the thumbscrews have been tightened
Check outfeed wheels to be sure they are properly adjusted for fold type and
paper size. Turn folder off and on to reset.
Turn off power and check the fold plates to see if paper is jammed. If it is,
remove the fold plate(s), remove the jammed paper and re-install the fold
plate(s).
