Squaring Side Guides on
714XE and 714XLT Folders

If the fold is not folding straight or wrinkling:

Square the guide with the fold rollers.

  1. Remove the number 1 fold plate (top fold plate).
  2. Take an 11 x 17 sheet of paper that is cut square and lay on feed table against one of the side guides.
  3. Hand feed the sheet into the folder and watch the sheet come out of the first set of rolls. Watch the sheet to see if it comes out square, or if one corner comes out before the other. If one corner comes out before the other you know you are not feeding square.
  4. Referencing the diagram above, loosen the rear locking screws on the back of the side guide, then push in the micro-adj. knob and rotate the back of the side guide in the direction that the back of the paper needs to move to square the side guide. Once you have moved the side guide retighten the rear locking screws.
  5. Repeat step 3 to see if the paper is now coming out square. If not repeat step 4 until side guide is square.
  6. When you get the side guide square then loosen the collar and rotate it until the micro-adj. knob falls back on to it then retighten the collar.
  7. Then align the other side guide to the first side guide using the square sheet of paper.
