4.2 Calibration
Proper calibration must exist to obtain acceptable machine operation. Re--calibration of the handwheels may
become necessary when difficulties arise in making the tab size, tab location, plastic size, or correct location
of plastic in regards to dimensions set on the handwheels.
4.2.1 Preparation for Calibration Procedures
Prior to attempting calibration procedures It is important to have proper materials and ensure the Initial
setting on handwheels corresponds to size of paper being utilized.
Paper size is not critical during normal run cycles of the machine. Tabs that are slightly “off” can be corrected
by adjustment of the handwheels to correspond to position of the tab or plastic. The printing can be off due to
improper printing registration or improper sheet cutting which can also be adjusted with the handwheels.
The handwheels should be calibrated as accurately as possible during the calibration procedures. Therefore,
paper size must also be accurate. Measure the stock prior to performing calibrations. Stock sizes vary and
can be under or oversize by 1/16th or more of an inch (1.5mm). This will not effect machines operation, if the
printing is perfect, but positioning of the dials must be corrected when stock is reversed to do corresponding
tab positions.
There are four handwheels that are located on the front of the machine:
Note ! The handwheels referred to In this section are shown on drawing Fig. 4- 18.
Plastic Position Handwheel
sets plastic position on the paper stock. Measured from edge of paper
furthermost away from operator to center of plastic being applied.
Plastic Size Handwheel
sets length of plastic being applied to paper.
Tab Position Handwheel
positions paper to be tab cut and is measured from edge of paper, furthermost away
from operator to center of tab. Sheet is pushed 1/4 inch (6.3mm) when both Plastic Position and Tab Position
Handwheels are set to the same settings.
Tab Size Handwheel
sets size of tab cut.
