Fold Paper Width Adj.: Adjusting the Misalignment of the Printed Set

If folded and stapled paper, multi half-folded paper, or multi tri-folded paper is misaligned in Saddle Stitcher SD-506, adjust the width of the exit guides to reduce misalignment and skew in folded paper.

Objects of Adjustment: Offset for All Size, SRA3 , A3 , B4 , SRA4 , A4 , B5 , 12 18 , 11 17 , 8.5 14 , 8.5 11 , 8 13 , 8K , 16K , Custom (380 - 463 mm), Custom (257 - 379 mm)

  • If a numeric value is specified for [Offset for All Size], it is applied to all paper sizes. With a specific paper size selected,the set value becomes the sum of the entered value and the value previously specified for [Offset for All Size].

  7. Check that any misalignment is found in the output set.
