The EZ Creaser with it’s microprocessor driven transport promises many years of profitable operation. Your EZ Creaser was manufactured at Count’s headquarters in Escondido, California. We are proud to build quality equipment and stand behind our machines knowing that the quality of our product is exceeded only by the staff which supports it.
ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS Power Requirement: 110v, 60 HZ, AC, or International 230v, 50/60HZ, AC Circuit Protection: Motor/Transformer………………………..3 AMP Circuit Breaker Microprocessor……………………………..1/4 AMP Slo-Blow Pulse Board………………………………….3 AMP Slo-Blow NOTE: Older buildings, overloaded lines, and bad grounds can affect the operation of your EZ Creaser. A dedicated line is best. OPERATING SPEEDS MODE TRANSPORT SPEED...
SAFETY PROCEDURES BEFORE USE: Read through the owner’s manual. Follow instructions CAREFULLY. • NEVER use a wet area. Electric shock could occur. • Use a GROUNDED outlet and a GROUNDED circuit. Do no use ungrounded • equipment on the same circuit. Always use a dedicated line.
SETTING UP YOUR EZ CREASER STAND ( optional 1. Open top half of box and remove components. 2. Assemble stand. 3. Place machine on stand as shown below. 4. Unscrew feed rail guide shaft, slide shaft out. Place feed rails on feed table and slide shaft back in going through feed rail guide brackets.
A countdown sequence from 9 to 0 will appear. If a number is missing from the sequence this indicates a failure in a component. If this occurs, contact the Count service department for further details. At the display of “EZ Creaser” the microprocessor is clear and ready to accept the entries.
• • • • Enter/Yes: Stores input information from data keys and answers display prompted questions. • • • • Clear/No: Erases errors entered and prompts for clearing total count. Answers “no” to display prompted questions. PROGRAMMING CONTROLS (Mode Selection) Speed Select: Pushing this will select speed, low, medium or high and show the speed selected on the display.
PROGRAMMING FOR CREASING • • • • Set-Up: Pressing this will present a request for the selection of a distance where the location of the number is requested in hundredths of an inch from the lead edge of the sheet. •...
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.
TOTAL COUNTER The micro-controller automatically counts any paper being run through the transport. This count is displayed as the EZ CREASER is operating and when it is stopped. To clear the counter: DISPLAY READS Clr Tot Cnt = Y/N Total Count = 0...

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”...
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.
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.
3. By placing a sheet or paper between the sensors your control board should read “Sensor Blocked”. 4. By removing paper between sensors display should return to “EZ CREASER” 5. If all above steps work correctly sensor is working properly, if not, contact the Count Machinery Company service department. DRIVE CHAIN TENSION The chain that drives the upper crease die in time will stretch.
PERF SHAFT & STRIKE PLATE A – Support Bar – F-0232 This is the shaft that the roller wheels and perf score are mounted on. B – Lower Sensor Eye Assy. – S-AAM-0230 Located in the platen strike plate, directly below the upper sensor.
PERFORATING AND SCORING ASSEMBLIES For removing and old blade and attaching a new blade to the pressure adjust mounting bracket, remove the (1) button head cap screw. BE SURE TO TIGHTEN THE SET SCREW SECURELY TO THE BAR. Once you have the upper and lower perf assemblies in place, you can tighten the half dog screw.
GRIPPER WHEEL PERF-SCORE MOUNTING Rubber Grip Wheel Position Score Wheel Position your score blade as desired. Scores should be made so that the blade runs on the side of the sheet that will be on the outside of the finished fold. Scores may be made on the EZ CREASER in three different ways using the different grooves on the lower score assembly.
RAC System (Rotary Actuated Creasing) Assembly Component ID A. RAC drive motor B. Eccentric Drive Shaft C. Upper crease die D. Pressure Adjust bearing blocks (RAC Rollers) E. Lower crease die F. Drive chain & tensioner SEE DRIVE CHAIN TENSIONER ON PAGE 13 G.
ADJUSTING THE RAC ROLLERS The RAC rollers are set from the factory and it is NOT recommended to make any adjustments to this without consulting with Count’s tech-support department. Should an adjustment be necessary, please follow the steps below. Loosen the small bearing block lock screws. This allows very slight adjustments of the bearing block to be made by loosening the thumb lock and turning the height adjustment screw in the middle of the bearing block.
CHANGING THE LOWER CREASE DIE The Lower crease die can easily be changed to accommodate thicker stocks by removing the non-operator side cover, slide the bar out and flip it over to use the wider die channel. Please note, custom die’s are available upon request.
2. Check connector from control board to machine. MICROPROCESSOR COMES ON BUT DISPLAY IS SCRAMBLED • 1. Poor Connection on or to control board. 2. Turn power off then turn back on. If display remains scrambled, contact Count Service Department. TRANSPORT “LOCKS UP” AFTER CREASING •...
