    BATCH COUNTER EXAMPLE: DISPLAY READS: Batch Count = 0 Batch Count = 250 EZ Creaser This will allow 250 sheets to pass the sensor then stop transport automatically. Pressing run will batch another group of 250 sheets. You can set the batch counter up to 9999.0 the feature is convenient for chip boarding small groups to be padded, or wrapping larger jobs in predetermined packages.

  • Page 14: Adjusting Feed Rails

    ADJUSTING THE FEED RAILS The feed rails on your EZ CREASER are designed to adjust easily in case of a problem with crooked feeding. By loosening the feed rail alignment lock knobs you can move each rail independently to square them to your stock. To maintain an accurate perf or score, it is important to get the rails as aligned and snug to the sheet as possible without “squeezing”...
  • Page 15: Setting The Automatic Feeder

    SETTING THE AUTOMATIC FEEDER For efficient Auto-feeding, the setting of the feed wheels is very important. Use a piece of the stock to be run as a “feeler gauge”. Place a sheet under the feed wheels, turn the feed wheel adjustment screw (counterclockwise to raise, clockwise to lower) so that the paper can slip freely under the wheels.
  • Page 16: Loading The Feeder

    LOADING THE FEEDER Take the fanned paper and load the feed tray as shown. The leading edge of the top sheet is slightly forward of the one below and so on throughout the stack. Tuck the lead edge of the stack under the feed wheels. The feed wheels should be spaced evenly across the lead edge of the job to be run.
