Poor Folding

Cause:

Depending on paper hardness, inaccurate folds may result. This is referred to as folding deviation.

Solution:

Change the folding position by adjusting the position of the paper edge stopper for folding.

  1. For multi-sheet folding, change the folding position using the following settings:

    • Half Fold Position (Multi-sheet Fold) (SP 6-752-101 to 119: FM2 Equal 1/2:FineAdjFld(D615) (size) SEF (Multi Sheet) )

    • Letter Fold-out Position 1 (Multi-sheet Fold) (SP 6-753-101 to 108: FM3 Equal 3rds:Fine Adj 1st (size) SEF (Multi Sheet) )

    • Letter Fold-out Position 2 (Multi-sheet Fold) (SP 6-754-101 to 108: FM3 Equal 3rds:Fine Adj 2nd (size) SEF (Multi Sheet) )

    • Letter Fold-in Position 1 (Multi-sheet Fold) (SP 6-755-101 to 110: FM4 3rds 1 Flap:Fine Adj 1st (size) SEF (Multi Sheet) )

    • Letter Fold-in Position 2 (Multi-sheet Fold) (SP 6-756-101 to 110: FM4 3rds 1 Flap:Fine Adj 2nd (size) SEF (Multi Sheet) )

  2. For single-sheet folding, change the folding position using the following settings:

    • Adjust Z-fold Position 1 (SP 6-750-001 to 100: FM1 Z-Fld: Fine Adj 1st Fld Custom Paper 001 to 100)

    • Adjust Z-fold Position 2 (SP 6-751-001 to 100: FM1 Z-Fld: Fine Adj 2nd Fld Custom Paper 001 to 100)

    • Half Fold Position: Single-sheet Fold (SP 6-752-001 to 100: FM2 Equal 1/2:FineAdjFld(D615) Custom Paper 001 to 100)

    • Letter Fold-out Posn 1: Single-sheet Fld (SP 6-753-001 to 100: FM3 Equal 3rds:Fine Adj 1st Custom Paper 001 to 100)

    • Letter Fold-out Posn 2: Single-sheet Fld (SP 6-754-001 to 100: FM3 Equal 3rds:Fine Adj 2nd Custom Paper 001 to 100)

    • Letter Fold-in Posn 1: Single-sheet Fold (SP 6-755-001 to 100: FM4 3rds 1 Flap:Fine Adj 1st Custom Paper 001 to 100)

    • Letter Fold-in Posn 2: Single-sheet Fold (SP 6-756-001 to 100: FM4 3rds 1 Flap:Fine Adj 2nd Custom Paper 001 to 100)

    • Double Parallel Fold Position 1 (SP 6-757-001 to 100: FM5 4ths "V": Fine Adjust 1st Custom Paper 001 to 100)

    • Double Parallel Fold Position 2 (SP 6-758-001 to 100: FM5 4ths "V": Fine Adjust 2nd Custom Paper 001 to 100)

    • Adjust Gate Fold Position 1 (SP 6-759-001 to 100: FM6 4ths 2 Flap:Fine Adj 1st Custom Paper 001 to 100)

    • Adjust Gate Fold Position 2 (SP 6-760-001 to 100: FM6 4ths 2 Flap:Fine Adj 2nd Custom Paper 001 to 100)

    • Adjust Gate Fold Position 3 (SP 6-761-001 to 100: FM6 4ths 2 Flap:Fine Adj 3rd Custom Paper 001 to 100)
