CONTROL PANEL
LOADING PAPER Load paper with adhesive side face up and the three adhesive tabs as the lead edge into the folder sealer. The Paper Platform for holding a supply of paper is located at the right hand side of the machine as viewed from the keypad side. The Platform is hinged and spring actuated to swing upward and maintain constant pressure of the paper stack to the three rubber feed wheels which advance the topmost sheet into the machine. The feed wheels are inoperative when no paper is present. The Paper Platform contains two laterally adjustable side guides to center and precisely position forms which might vary minimally from the intended 8-1/2". The adjustment is adequate to accommodate the A4 (8-1/4 wide) form. Two Paper Adjustment knobs are provided to secure the selected position. When loading paper, the Platform must be pressed downward as the paper stack positioned between the side guides to allow the paper to be located against the "stop" surface under the three feed wheels. Be sure the leading edge of the top sheet is flat before allowing the stack to swing upward against the wheels. A platform extension is provided for additional support under the paper stack and is especially useful when using 14" long (legal size) paper. The extension may be easily pulled out from the back end of the Platform. PAPER IN FEED:
PAPER PATHWAY ACCESS Refer to Main Operating Features (Water Fill Side) In the event of a paper jam, access to the interior of the machine is gained by lifting the Top Cover together with the attached first Fold Buckle Chute to the open position.. Access to the 2nd fold Buckle Chute is provided by opening the panel (hinged door) located under the Paper Platform using the recessed hand pull. Electricity is automatically disconnected when the access panel is opened. The Control Panel (Keypad) is inoperative when the Top Cover is raised. Closing the cover and buckle chute requires that the cover be lifted slightly at the exit end of the machine to disengage the locking slot. The chute and cover will now be free to lower into operating position. WATER TANK Refer to
Main Operating Features (Operator Side) The machine contains a water reservoir with a capacity of 4.5 pints (0.56 gallons) of water. Filling To empty Note SETTING FIRST FOLD Refer to
Main Operating Features (Operator Side) Note: The Cover need not be removed to set the first fold position. However, removal is suggested to better see and understand the components described below. The Cover can be disconnected from the Chute by spreading the flanges at the connection point to disengage the Cover from the pivot pins, then sliding the Cover toward the exit end of the machine until free of the Upper Belt assembly. With the cover removed, a wick tank assembly can be seen running across and within the first Fold Buckle Chute. It can be identified by a small water feed tube attached to one end on the operator side of the machine. The wick tank contains three sets of wicks, pressure rolls, retainer plates, and Buckle Stop fingers projecting upward within the Chute. The location of the first fold is determined by the position of the Buckle Stop. Selection of the Stop position is made by rotating the First Fold Adjustment Knob located at the end of the chute. Positions for different form patterns are clearly indicated on a scale mounted on the top of the chute. Clockwise rotation produces greater entry of the form into the Chute. Counterclockwise rotation shortens entry. Slide the Top Cover onto the Belt assembly and reattach to the Buckle Chute. SETTING SECOND FOLD Refer to
Main Operating Features (Operator Side) The second Fold Selector Knob is located in a recess in the operator
side cover of the machine (under the keypad). Selection of the fold
position is made by depressing, rotating, and releasing the knob
in the indicated (detented) position. It should be noted that the
"V" fold position prevents the form from entering the
second Fold Chute. Micro-adjustment of the second fold position
can be made by rotating the second Fold Fine Adjustment Knob located
in the end face of the operator side cover to the right of the keypad.
Clockwise rotation produces greater
entry of the form into the second Fold Buckle Chute. Counterclockwise
rotation shortens entry. Note: Fine adjustments of either fold position can be made while the machine is running (processing) forms. DOUBLE SHEET DETECTION The "double on/off" button on the operator keypad activates or disables the double sheet detection feature. When activated, the detection system prevents the feeding two or more forms together from the feeder into the paper pathway. When the system is in use and detects a "double feed" the machine stops before folding the "double" allowing removal from the machine in salvageable condition. Calibration of the system is performed automatically by feeding a single form through the machine using the "Setup/single sheet" mode on the keypad. Calibration can be performed only when the system is active and should be done whenever a different form is run. Alternate pressing of the "double on/off" toggles the system on and off. The system can be monitored by observing the status LED labeled "double sheet". When the system is active the LED is not illuminated until a double sheet is detected When the system is disabled the LED will blink continuously. CLEARING PAPER JAMS Refer to
Main Operating Features (Operator Side) Whenever paper jams occur, the machine will stop and the status indicator "paper fault" will be illuminated. It is always necessary to open the Top Cover / first Fold Buckle Chute to determine where the jam is located. Opening the Cover / Chute renders the machine inoperable. It may be possible to free a jammed form by manually rotating the rubber feed rollers. A Manual Operator Knob is located in the cover opposite the operator (keypad) side. By rotating the knob counterclockwise it may be possible to reverse a jammed form out of engagement with the rollers. When a form is engaged by more than one pair of rollers the knob may be rotated alternately forward and backward while pulling the form free. The lower wick tank may be removed to facilitate clearing jams. Before removing the wick holder, it will be necessary to remove the water collecting "gutter" mounted to the inside of the machine frame. The gutter is removed by grasping the gutter on both ends then moving forwards and up then backwards and up. The wick tank may be then removed by grasping the two protruding screws located near each end of the holder and gently rocking the holder while lifting. It is beneficial to tip the wick tank slightly upward on the end opposite the keypad as it is removed to allow residual water to drain into the collector beneath. Note: The Gutter must be installed for the machine to operate. With the wick tank removed, it is possible to grasp a jammed form and, together with the manual rotation of the rollers , pull it from the machine. Paper jams in the first Fold Chute are unlikely but, if encountered, can easily be seen and removed. Any forms located in the discharge belt system when the machine stops can be advanced out of the machine by clockwise rotation of the Manual Operator Knob. When a form is jammed in the second Fold Buckle Chute, it can usually be seen behind the motor when the access panel is opened. The access panel may be easily opened using the recessed handle. The form may be removed from the chute by sliding it upwardly out of the chute. WICK TANK Refer to Main Operating Features (Water Fill Side) The InfoSeal 3600 is shipped with a standard wick tank (2 wicks) for use with most 11" and 14" forms. The wick tank must be changed if One part-Two way forms are to be run. The following procedure should be used when changing the wick tank or when it becomes necessary to replace wicks. Open the Top Cover with the attached first Fold Buckle Chute to expose the Wick Tank. A water collecting gutter is mounted to the inside wall of the machine frame opposite the operator keypad and must be removed before the wick tank can be lifted. The gutter may be removed by raising the end nearest the Paper Feeder slightly and then pulling toward the Feeder until free. The wick tank is removed by grasping the two protruding screws located near each end of the holder and gently rocking the holder while lifting. It is beneficial to tip the wick tank slightly upward on the end opposite the keypad as it is removed to allow residual water to drain into the collector beneath. The wick tank is reinstalled or replaced by centrally locating the receiver holes over the two protruding pins and pressing downward until firmly seated. Note: The gutter must be installed for the machine to operate. UNIT DIMENSIONS
