ABOUT THE 2612
The INFOSEAL Model 2612 is a one-step self-contained tabletop folder/sealer
for self-mailer forms. It accepts either sheet-fed or web-fed (continuous)
forms treated with water-activated glue, moistens them, fold them
in a buckle-chute folder, and seals them. It is not for use with
heat-sealed forms. For unglued forms, you can retract the water
system and use the 2612 as a non-sealing folder.
Each form has dry glue along both sides and across the top. When
the form is moistened and folded, the edges are glued together and
the top is glued across the middle to keep it closed. The folded
piece is then pressed to set the glue and placed in an output stack.
The water tank holds about two gallons of water, enough for a full
day's operation. Even if the sealing feature in not in use, the
tank must be filled before operating the machine. When the tank
is low, a warning indicator will light on the operator's control
panel.
The sheet feeder is removable for use with continuous ("web")
forms. To use continuous forms, the unit must be mated with a INFOSEAL
2614, which is available separately. If you already have a 1624,
you can order a kit for attaching it to the 2612. Converting from
sheet feeder to burster takes only a few minutes.
SAFETY
For your protection, the following safety features are installed
in every 2612 folder/sealer.
Safety covers with interlock:The feeder area and sealer deck are
protector from accidental intrusion by separate safety covers. If
both safety covers are not fully closed, the machine will not operate.
Burster Interlock: If the folder is connected to a 2614, the burster
will stop whenever an interlock switch is open on the folder.
Follow these simple precautions when you work around machinery:
- Be sure the equipment has stopped before you reach into
it
- Keep hands, clothing, jewelry, accessories and hair away from
moving parts at all times
- Don't remove machine covers or disable safety interlock switches
- they're for your protection!

MATERIAL HANDLING NOTES
|
Material handling problems with automatic mail handling equipment
are often due to distortion (warpage, curl, sticking, etc.).
This can be a result of poor packaging, improper handling
or environmental extremes during manufacture, transit, or
storage. This is particularly true of self-sealing forms,
which contain glue that is extremely sensitive to temperature
and humidity.
Fortunately, there are a number of easy and effective measures
you can take to minimize problems, improve production and
get the most out of your INFOSEAL equipment.
|
|
Be
Sure Forms Meet Out Printed Specifications
|
Our equipment is designed to handle a certain range of material.
Forms, which fall outside this range, may run poorly or not
at all. Many operating problems are actually due to out-of-spec
material. When ordering forms, always specify "for mechanical
folding and sealing." There are many things the manufacturer
can do to preserve and protect forms.
|
|
Store and Handle
Forms with Care
|
- Don’t "crash" loaded skids on loading
docks, in transport vans or in the finals storage area.
- Do block loaded skids in transport vans.
- Don't expose cartons to the elements; prolonged
exposure to intense sunlight, high humidity and so on can
damage material.
- Do store materials in a controlled environment.
We recommend a nominal temperature of 75 degrees F at 50%
relative humidity. Glue formulas do vary, however, so temperature
and humidity limits above and below these may be better
for certain materials.
- Do store cartons on skids or shelves to prevent
absorption of moisture, never directly on floors or against
cement walls. Very dry forms may accumulate static and be
difficult to handle, but damp forms will almost certainly
stick together.
|
|
Rotate
Stock; Give Material Time to Stabilize
|
- Do rotate stock; use oldest stock first (first
in, first out).
- Do transfer cartons from the storage area to the
work area more than several hours before use.
- Don't remove boxes from their cartons until they
are needed.
- Do allow about one hour of stabilization time for
each degree of temperature change from the storage to the
processing area.

Be sure to fill the tank before turning on the machine. To
fill the tank:
- Press down on the raised flange of the upper sealer
roller assembly until it pivots upward, releasing the
stacker tray.
- Lift the stacker tray off the lower sealer roller shaft
and remove it to expose the water fill port.
- Add water or sealing solution fluid until the water
level is 1/2" below the bottom of the fill port.
If the tank is completely empty, you can add up to two
gallons. Do not overfill.
- Be sure to re-install fill tank cap after filling tank.

2613 Sheet Feeder Setup
The 2613 sheet feeder is attached to the left end of the unit and
latches into place. To install the sheet feeder:
1. Set the two lower notches in the underside of the sheet feeder
on the lower pins of the folder.
2. Raise the left end of the sheet feeder, rotating it on the
pins, until the upper pair of notches drop onto the upper pins
of the folder.
Lower the sheet feeder so it rests on all four pins. Press down
firmly on the feed roller until feeder snaps solidly into place.
Figure 8 - Installing
the Sheet Feeder
Form Width Adjustment
Adjust the side guides to the width of your forms by turning
the knob at the upper end of the sheet feeder.
1. Start with a single sheet of the form you're going to use.
Turn the knob until the distance between the sheet feeder side
guides is slightly larger than the width of the form.
2. Center the form in the sheet feeder face up with the foot
of the page to the right, against the roller.
Turn the adjusting knob until the side guides touch the edges of
the form, then back off a quarter turn, so there is not pressure
(about 1/16 clearance).
Figure 9 - Setting
the Side Guides
Feed Gap Adjustment
The sheet feeder works by pulling the top sheet forward with
a rubber roller, while the second sheet is retarded by a rough carborundum
stone under the feeder deck. The ideal separation between the roller
and the stone is slightly less than the thickness of one sheet of
paper.
The feeder gap is adjusted by the knurled knob on the underside
of the sheet feeder assembly. The proper spacing is determined by
the weight and thickness of the form. It is set for 20-pound bond
at the factory. To readjust:
-
Place a single sheet of the paper you'll be folding in the
feeder.
-
Turn the adjusting knob counterclockwise until you can slide
the paper freely between the feed roller and the separator stone.
-
Moving the paper back and forth repeatedly, turn the adjusting
knob slowly clockwise until you can just feel a slight drag
or interference as the paper moves. As the gap narrows, it will
be much easier to pull the paper through than to push it. This
should be a good setting for that particular material.
Once set, this adjustment should not required changing unless you
switch to a different weight or thickness of paper.
Figure 10 - Setting the
Feed Gap
Separator
Stone & Shield Adjustment
The carborundum stone is very rough, and the feeder won't work
if too much of it is in contact with the paper. Too little friction,
however, may cause double feeds.
To control this friction, a smooth metal shield covers most of
the stone. This shield is adjustable, but the best position for
most paper, preset at the factory, is about 1/4" of stone exposed.
To adjust the amount of stone exposed:
- Reach under the sheet feeder deck and move the shield forward
or back a small amount.
- Move the shield back slightly if you get double feeds. Move
it forward if the sheets are wrinkled or sticking in the feeder.
Figure 11 -
Separator Stone/Shield Adjustment
|
Buckle Chute Adjustment
|
The 2612 is designed to produce either of two common folds:
the single fold (half fold) and the letter fold (three-panel
fold).
Set the buckle chutes by adjusting the height of each buckle
chute stop (Figure 5). The stops should be set to the same
mark on each side, so the folds will be straight and parallel.
See the chart below for initial settings used with the five
standard form lengths.
|
|
Letter Fold
|
To make letter folds, set both buckle chute stops in accordance
with the chart below. Run a sheet to determine the accuracy
of the setting, and correct if necessary.
|
|
Single Fold
|
- To make half folds, lift the first buckle chute straight
up and out of the machine as shown in Figure 13, next page.
Turn it upside down, so the edge with the curved lip faces
down, and replace I on the same studs. The paper will now
bypass this chute.
- Set the second buckle chute stop as indicated on the chart
below. Hand cycle a form to check for correct fold placement.
See the "Crooked Folds" section in Troubleshooting
for tips on correcting bad folds.
|
|
Fold Dimensions
|
The standard folds for letter and legal forms are shown below.
Use these approximate buckle chute settings as a starting
point:

Buckle Chute Removal and Replacement
|
Wick Adjustment
|
Wicks must be set for the material you're running. When the
machine is first turned on, wait five minutes for the wicks
to fully saturate before making adjustments. During operation,
it may be necessary to adjust one or more wicks with the red
sliding tab on top of each holder. Move the wick closer to
the paper if the forms are not fully sealed: Move it away
if the forms are damp when they leave the sealer. If a wick
doesn't moisten with the red tab all the way forward, it may
be worn out. You can replace the wicks by removing the thumbscrews
on the holders; see Troubleshooting.
|
|
To Fold Without Sealing
|
To retract side wicks, move the red sliding tabs away from
the paper as far as possible. To retract the center wicks,
lift the hammer guard up and away from the second buckle chute
until it latches in position. Restore by lifting the release
bar over the center wicks.
|
Figure 14 -
Sealer Wick Location and Adjustment
|
|
|
Wick Installation
|
If you finish your setup and the machine feeds and folds
correctly but will not seal, you may have to open one or more
reservoirs to check the wick or the water level. For example,
after a long period of heavy use, the nylon covering the wick
may become worn and allow the soft wick material to contact
the paper. If this happens, the wick will wear out very fast
and have to be replaced. After a long period of storage in
very dry conditions, the wicks may dry out so much that they
don't rewet easily when you fill the machine and start it.
To check the wicks, turn the machine off and slide the red
adjuster tab all the way toward the paper path. The end of
the wick should be visible. If the nylon mesh is broken, or
if the wick does not protrude far enough to see, it should
be replaced. If the wick feels dry, check the reservoir to
be sure the water is flowing properly. Both these procedures
involve removing the reservoir covers.
|
|
Opening the Reservoir
|
To remove a reservoir cover, unscrew the thumbscrews and
lift the cover straight up. The side wick reservoirs have
four screws each; the center reservoir has five. Remove the
two outer screws of the center reservoir from the plastic
cable clamps.
The water level in the reservoir should be between the bottom
and the top of the inlet and outlet openings. If reservoir
is empty, refer to the Troubleshooting section on pump
and water problems.
|
|
Replacing a Wick
|
To remove a wick, grasp it by the red plastic holder and
lift it straight out of the reservoir. If the nylon covering
the end of the wick is worn, install a new wick. If the wick
is in good condition but has dried out, submerge it in the
water and squeeze it gently once or twice to wet it, then
re-install it.
To install a wick, place the red plastic holder on the flat
platform at the front of the reservoir, with the adjuster
tab facing up and the long uncovered tail in the water. Replace
the reservoir cover so the red adjuster tab sticks up through
the slot in the cover, and replace the thumbscrews.
|
Figure 15 - Removing
a Wick from the Reservoir
Filling Water Tank
The water reservoir filler port is located under the stacker tray
at the right-hand end of the machine. To remove the stacker tray,
press down on the raised flange of the stacker roller assembly,
and lift the tray off the lower roller shaft. Replace in the same
way.
CAUTION: Do not run the machine without water! Doing so can damage
the pump or pump motor.
Fill the reservoir before each use. Then set the speed control
to zero, turn the machine on and run it for at least 5 minutes before
operating. This allows water to circulate and fully moisten the
wicks.
When the blue "Add Water" light goes on, immediately
add about one gallon of clean water or sealing solution. Don't overfill
- the water should be no higher than 1/2" below the mouth of
the filler.
 Loading
the Forms
- Start with a stack of forms about an inch thick. Fan the forms
to ensure they are not sticking together. The nominal capacity
of the feed deck is about two inches, or 500 sheets (1 ream) of
standard paper (8 1/2" x 11" 20 lb. bond), but this
will vary depending on the paper stock you're running.
- Jog and aerate the forms. Always aerate (fan) sheets before
loading for good feeding and proper separation. The edges of the
forms should be well aligned, so that none of the sheets hang
out to the side and stick to the side guides.
- Shingle the stack. "Shingling" means to tilt the stack
so the end of each page overhangs the one below. Proper shingling
is very important. If the stack in not shingled enough, doubles
will feed and may cause jams. A one-inch stack should overhang
by about two inches. Shingle so that the top of the stack extends
forward, and place them on the deck with the top sheet just touching
the bite of the feed roller.
Figure 16 - Preparing
the Paper Stack
Shingling the stack properly will not only make the feeder and
folder run more smoothly, it also reduces the chance that too many
forms will bunch up under the sealer rollers. As the "Side
View" in the figure below illustrates, there should never be
more than 1/2" thickness of folded forms under these rollers,
and 1/8" is desirable. This means the forms must be spaced
far enough apart on the sealer deck (see "Top View", below).
As the chart at the bottom show, this separation should be greater
for larger forms. If your forms come out of the folder too close
together, shingle the input stack more. In general, when in doubt,
shingle more. Unless the feeder is skipping sheets, it's hard to
shingle too much.
Figure 17 -
The Shingled Stack at the Folder Output
- Set the speed control to zero and turn the main power switch
ON. Feed several sheets at a low speed. If you get double fees,
remove the stack, fan it again and shingle it more steeply. If
doubles persist, reduce the feed gap slightly. If the paper creases
or wrinkles in the center, open the gap slightly. Slowly increase
the speed to maximum.
- Do not force the stack into the feed roller. If sheets fail
to feed, double feeds or the folder jams, feeder setup is probably
at fault. Review Section 7, Setup, and Section 9, Troubleshooting.
Reloading
While the Unit Is Running
It will be easier to let the stack run out before adding more paper,
but with experience you can add sheets to the bottom of the stack
before the stack runs out.
This requires that you lift the remaining forms and slide the new
ones underneath while the machine is running. Make sure you aerate
and shingle them well before loading. They should be shingled at
the same angle as the existing stack.
If you grasp the existing stack firmly at the rear, feeding will
stop. Don't let the feeder pull sheets out of your hand; the resistance
will cause bad folding. Lift the rear end of the stack and slide
the new forms forward underneath until the top of the new stack
is almost even with the bottom of the old. Lay the old stack down
and release it. Feeding will resume immediately.
Running Hints
CAUTION: If a form stalls in the machine, turn the power switch
OFF immediately. This will stop the water pump and prevent water
from soaking any sheets which may be contacting a wick.
q If very light paper creases, try running at a slower folder speed.
q Heavier papers may require you to shift the separator stone down,
away from the feed roller; lighter stocks may require you to shift
the stone up, closer to the roller. If you feed doubles, try moving
the separator shield slightly backward to expose more stone.
Shutdown
To stop the folder at any time, place your hand on the stack to
halt feeding and turn the speed control down to zero. The feed motor
will stop but the water pump will remain on. To shut down the machine
completely, turn the main power switch OFF. This turns off both
the feed motor and the water pump.
HOW TO FIX
MINOR
PROBLEMS
The instructions below will help you fix minor problems that may
arise during daily operation. If you can't fix a problem by following
these suggestions, or have a question that this manual doesn't answer,
please call your local INFOSEAL Customer Service Representative
for assistance.
|
Folder will not
run
|
- Is the plug in a wall outlet?
- POWER ON switch on?
- Check your facility fuse or circuit breaker. Make sure
there's power available at the wall outlet.
- Check the circuit breaker on the left end cover, under
the feed deck. Push it in if it has popped out. If the folder
still fails to run, or the circuit breaker pops out repeatedly,
please call for service.
- Turn speed control to a higher number.
|
|
Fails to feed
or fees erratically
|
- The side guides may be too tight, confining the stack.
Check for 1/16" clearance between the stack and one
side guide. NOTE: Too much clearance can cause the paper
to skew.
- Too much separator stone exposed. Slide cover forward
a little. Note that too little stone may cause double feeds.
|
|
Doubles feed;
Poor sheet separation
|
- Forms stuck together (may be caused by high humidity).
Fan and aerate the stack again.
- Stack insufficiently shingled. Important: Shingle top
sheet toward the feed roller, about two inches (2")
for each inch of stack height (250 sheets of 20# bond).
- Too little separator stone exposed. Slide the cover back
a little. Note that too much stone may cause poor feeding
or skewing.
|
|
Skewed or crooked folds
|
- Leading edge of form is not perpendicular to folder rollers.
If both folds are skewed, this is probably the cause. Important:
Don't correct by tilting the chute stops - keep them straight
and parallel. Instead, use the feed alignment knob
on the near side of the sheet feeder or the burster interface
to change the fed angle. This will correct both folds at
once, and you won't have to readjust the buckle chute stops.
Use one of the following procedures, depending on which
kind of input you have:
|
|
|
Sheet feeder:
Running at low speed, slowly turn the feed alignment knob
in the direction indicated, until the folds are straight.
|
|
|
2614 Burster:
- Crooked folds can also be caused by poor feeding. Review
your setup; sometimes raising the separator stone can correct
bad folds.
- You can also adjust the buckle chute stops to make fold
adjustments. See instructions under One Crooked Fold
below.
- Too much side guide clearance.
|
|
Only one crooked fold
|
One buckle chute stop is crooked. Important: If only one
fold is bad, this is probably the reason. Check the appropriate
buckle chute stop and make sure it is set to the same mark
on both sides.
|
|
Fold length is wrong
|
Buckle chute setting is off. Adjust the chute stop (see the
instructions on page 23 for setting up common folds). Slight
changes in fold length may be due to variations in paper stock.
|
|
Folded
sheets do not evenly fan out on the stacker belt
|
- Paper feed is erratic. Check the feeder setup adjustments.
- The exit guide is too close to the sealer rollers. Move
is closer to the exit rollers.
|
|
Forms do not seal
|
- Water is not getting to a wick. Check wick holders by
removing thumbscrews and lifting tops. The water level should
be about half way up the wick.
- Wicks are not wetting. Wicks should be thoroughly saturated
- wet enough to drip when squeezed.
- Wick is worn. If the nylon mesh is broken or missing,
replace the wick assembly. There are five extra wicks delivered
with each machine.
- Glue problem. Bad glue or glue in the wrong location.
Check the forms and contact form vendor for correction.
|
|
Paper stalls in the 2612
|
WARNING: Turn the POWER OFF!
CAUTION: Do not use a sharp object to remove stalled
material! Sharp objects can scratch, nick, cut or damage rollers,
wicks and guide plates.
CAUTION: Always hand-crank a sheet through the system before
you turn on the power after clearing a stall. This ensures
that the paper path has been fully cleared. Push the handwheel
In to turn it. Turning the handwheel clockwise turns the machine
forward; turning it counterclockwise turns the machine in
reverse.
|
|
|
Determine where the stall has occurred and remove the stalled
piece as follows:
- Locate the stalled piece. If it's in the folder rollers
(entrance rollers), unload the feeder and remove it from
the machine (see p. 18). Retract the side wicks into their
reservoirs and turn the handwheel in reverse (counterclockwise),
pulling gently on the material to remove it. Hand-crank
a sheet to be sure the paper path is clear. Replace the
feeder and readjust the side wicks. Run one form under power
to check for proper folding and sealing, then reload the
feeder.
- If the stalled piece is in the first buckle chute, you
can remove the chute by lifting it up and out of the folder
(see p. 24). Remove the stalled piece and place the buckle
chute in position. Turn the power on and resume normal operation.
- If the stall is in the second buckle chute, raise the
wick hammer assembly and loosen the large thumbscrew on
the right side of the second chute. Raise the right half
of the chute by lifting the top flange. This will permit
you to handcrank sheet out of the fold rollers.
- If the stalled piece is under the sealer rollers, raise
them to a vertical position by pulling the raised flange
up and to the right and lifting the right upper roller assembly
up and to the left.
- If stalled material can't easily be removed, empty the
feeder so another form won't feed and turn the handwheel
in either direction to walk the stalled material out of
the folder. Be sure no paper fragments remain in the folder
or buckle chutes.
Set the speed control to between 6 and 7 when running with
the burster. If stalls occur at the input of the folder, try
increasing the folder speed slightly. If the folder tries
to pull sheets out of the burster prematurely, it will make
a loud buzzing sound. If this occurs, try decreasing the folder
speed.

Counter doesn't count
|
If the counter is miscounting or skipping counts, check for
stalled material under the feeder and folder rollers, or wrapped
around the upper or lower folder exit roller.

Several accessories are available to help you make the most of
your 2612. They include:
- Sheet Feeder (2613). The sheet feeder accepts up to 500 8 1/2"
wide glued or unglued forms from 7" to 14" long. Adjustable
to feed almost any paper from 20 to 28 pounds. See Form Specifications,
p. 3, and Material Handling Notes, p. 5.
- Long Form Accessory (F351066). The Long Fold Accessory is shipped
with each 2612. It improves shingling on the sealer deck when
using 14" or 17" forms, by depositing the folded forms
further forward on the deck. Most useful when half-folding 14"
forms (7" folded depth) or when letter-folding 17" material.
To use: With the accessory positioned as shown below, align the
long edge with the index marks on the 2612 sealer deck just forward
of the folder exit rollers. Press the accessory down flat with the
spring ends against the side frames under the deck.
Figure 18 -
Installing the Long Form Accessory
(Use this page as a handy reference guide)
- Bring all the forms to the machine. If they were stored in a
warmer or cooler area, let them stabilize to room temperature
before use. Leave them wrapped up until you need them.
-
- Install sheet feeder.
- Set up with single sheets of the actual form you're going to
run, if possible. Different paper behaves differently.
- Remove output stacker and fill water tank (page 17).
-
- Adjust side guides for about 1/16" clearance from the form
edges (page 19).
- Adjust feed gap and separator to the thickness of the paper
(page 20).
- Adjust buckle chute stops for desired fold (page 23).
- Set speed control knob to zero and start unit with start/stop
switch on operator control panel. Allow unit to run for at least
five minutes to saturate wicks.
- Run some test sheets and adjust wicks for best moistening (page
25).
- Stack forms neatly in the sheet feeder, fanned and shingled,
face up with bottom edge toward the roller (page 27).
- Set desired speed with speed control knob, start at a low speed
and check for proper operation (page 29).
-
- 2614 Burster: With folder running at proper speed, start burster
and check for proper feeding from burster to folder. Adjust folder
speed if necessary (page 18).
- Sheet feeder: If necessary, adjust feed roller or separator
shield to consistently feed single sheets (page 20-22).
