3. Shaft Alterations Collar and Grub Screw The bottom shaft can not be removed from the machine but can be slid across to allow components to be removed and repositioned Note The drive wheels on the bottom shaft must stay in line with the wheels on the top shaft Collar and Gap Undo the grub screw in the collar on the left hand end of the shaft Slide the shaft to the right until there is a big enough gap near the collar to remove the drive wheels Reposition the desired components opposite the wheels on the top shaft and tighten in position Slide the shaft back into the collar and tighten the grub screw onto the flat Accurate adjustments and alignment may be made with the top shaft down 15 Compressor Vacuum Controls The compressor vacuum unit has two controls The right hand control wheel increases and decreases the supply of air to the machines side lays The left hand control alters the amount of vacuum supplied to the choke This may need to be decreased when using light or thin paper Vacuum Control Compressed Air Control 16 Screen Sequence On switching on the machine the KAS logo will be displayed for a few seconds this is to allow the main processor to power up When this has completed its procedure the first screen will be displayed Operator Run Screen The Operator Run Screen will be displayed under normal run conditions The screen shows us various pieces of information about the job being r
4. A maximum of 99 different jobs can be programmed and saved to the machines internal memory making the selection and recall of common jobs quick and easy Jobs may be programmed in either Absolute or Incremental measurements and image shift adjustments can be made with one alteration The machine is supplied with rotary perforation that 1s adjustable across the width of the document and four widths of slide out and turn crease matrix as standard Machine Components Air flow controls Feed Gate Backstop Side Lays my Lay Squareness Adjustment Top Cover Programming Screen Choke Control Wheel Slide out Crease Matrix Outfeed tray l Compressor Vacuum unit controls When installing the machine the supplied power cable should be plugged into the switched power socket on the machine and then to the power supply socket Switch the machine on and the control screen should initialize The compressor vacuum unit has a separate on off switch located under the Choke Control Wheel This allows the unit to be switched off when not in use Setting Side Lays There are two side lays on the machine which sit at each side of the paper on the infeed section Their purpose 1s to guide the paper under the feed gate and into the feed rolls accurately to ensure a square crease is made across the document They also supply air to the underside of the paper stack by way of thin slots in order to make the paper float before the bottom
5. m up will allow air to pass through the slot The thumbscrews are fitted with antivibration devices to prevent the settings from altering during normal operation After placing the paper onto the machine the magnetic backstop should be placed behind the stack to prevent it from moving Setting Outfeed Tray Thumbscrews Magnetic Side Lays Bottom Stop Plate The outfeed tray has two thumbscrews one on each side By loosening the thumbscrews the bottom stop plate may be extended to allow larger sheets to be collected without damage The magnetic side plates may be positioned to keep fed documents stacked accurately The outfeed tray can be removed in order to adjust the lower perforation wheel shaft Changing Crease Matrix Matrix Bar The machine is supplied with two crease matrix bars that have different widths of slot on either side One of these slots allows the operator to use replaceable self adhesive matrix bars the other three may be changed depending on the thickness of the material to be creased The bar must only be changed while the machine 1s in its rest position with the knife at its highest point Withdraw the bar from the slot turn or replace with the correct size slot and slid the bar into the machine until it stops Choke Adjustment and Rotating Cylinder Choke Control Wheel Rotating Cvlinder Feed Gate The choke 1s used to control the amount of vacuum applied to the front edge of the paper
6. ow easy positioning of the shaft in either the up or down position The shaft must be in its up position to make any alterations to the perforation position When lowering the top shaft the perforation wheel must be pulled against the spring until it is located so that the wheels are in contact when the spring 1s released 13 Bush Collar Top Shaft Alterations Top Shaft and Perforation Wheel The top shaft must be in its raised position to be removed It is removed by undoing the grub screw in the collar on the left hand end and sliding the collar to the right and out of the bush allowing the end of the shaft to come towards you It can then be removed from its location on the right hand side The components on the shaft can then be loosened slide off and repositioned in the desired order Note The perforation wheel is positioned between two drive wheels and is sprung loaded This arrangement must stay the same wherever you position the perforation wheel along the shaft All screws should be tightened onto the machined flat so that the shaft 1s not damaged Refitting is the opposite of removing Locate the right hand end of the shaft in the bush on the right side of the machine line up the left hand side and slide the collar into the bush Tighten the screw to secure Accurate setting of this wheel can only be achieved when a test document is run and final adjustments to measurements should be made at this stage 14 Bottom

9. through the rotating cylinder holes The amount of vacuum needed 1s dependant on the type of paper being fed Thin gauge paper 80gsm to 90gsm will tend to wrap around the cylinder easier than thick gauge paper and will need less vacuum to feed By rotating the choke control wheel clockwise more area of slot inside the cylinder is exposed through the holes and so more of the front edge of the document is sucked onto the wheel Thin Gauge Paper Setting Rotate the choke adjustment knob anticlockwise until the slot inside the cylinder is tilted towards the feed gate This adjustment may be fine tuned during operation Feed Gate Z Paper Cylinder Choke Heavy Gauge Paper Rotate the choke clockwise until the slot is in an upright position Feed Gate Paper Cylinder _ 4 on WG Choke 10 Feed Gate Adjustment Horizontal Adjustment Vertical Adjustment The feed gate 1s set to allow only one document past at a time This 1s achieved by altering the gap and position of the bottom edge of the gate to the rotating cylinder There are two thumbscrew adjustments One on top to allow the vertical movement of the gate and one under the top cover to allow horizontal movement Adjustment of the gate carried out along with adjustment of the choke Horizontal Adjustment Firstly set the choke to the correct position for the thickness of document about to be fed Then using the smaller thumb
