E. BINDER G1 Deflector and Alignment Adjustment
If all the above check out and there are still sheets left in the stacking
area after binding, the deflector timing or alignment may be off. When
the deflector timing or alignment setting on the BINDER G1 are off, the
deflector will push sheets down onto the open wire when the holes are
not aligned with the wire. This will result in unhooked sheets and
damage to the paper around the holes. Examining these unhooked
sheets will show you the adjustments you need to make.
Remove the unhooked sheets from the tray and hold them with the tray
facing side up. Look closely at each hole for any damage. When the
damage is between two holes it means that the alignment adjustment
is off. If the damage is next to a hole it means the deflector timing is off.
Below are examples of both and instructions on how to correct them. It
is possible for both your deflector and alignment to need adjustment, if
this happens your markings will be offset diagonally from the holes.
Note: Before changing your deflector or alignment settings, record
what they are. If you are unable to fix your unhooking issue, return the
values to their original settings.
Deflector Adjustment
When imprints from the element appear between the hole and the trail
edge of the sheet, the deflector value needs to be decreased. Measure
the distance from this mark to the center of the hole and decrease your
deflector value by that much.
When imprints from the element on the lead edge of the hole, the
deflector value needs to be increased. Measure the distance from this
mark to the center of the hole and increase your deflector value by that
much.
After adjusting your deflector setting, run a book to test out the new
deflector timing value. If sheets are still unhooking, remeasure the hook
mark and adjust accordingly. Repeat this process until you no longer
have marks on the trail and lead edge of the hole.
Alignment Adjustment
When the imprint appears on the left side of the hole (when looking at
the tray down side with in the orientation shown above) the alignment
values you needs to be increase. Measure the distance from the center
of the mark to the center of the hole and increase your alignment value
by this amount.
When the imprint appears on the right side of the hole (when looking at
the tray down side with in the orientation shown above) the alignment
values you needs to be decreased. Measure the distance from the
center of the mark to the center of the hole and decrease your alignment
value by this amount.
After adjusting your alignment setting, run a book to test out the new
alignment value. If sheets are still unhooking, remeasure the hook mark
and adjust accordingly. Repeat this process until you no longer have
marks between the holes.
If after performing these adjustments your sheets are still not hooking,
revert to your original recorded values and contact the service
department.
