Tips

  • When manually using the functions available with Folding Unit FD-503, Finisher FS-532, Saddle Stitcher SD-510, or Saddle Stitcher SD-513, you can load paper only in the upper tray of the post inserter on Folding Unit FD-503.

  • Multi-feed detection is a feature that automatically stops the machine if more than one sheet is fed at a time. The post inserter is designed to operate this function. Some paper type, such as smooth surface paper, may activate this function even if a single sheet is fed, and may stop the machine as a result. Should this case occur frequently, press the Multi-feed detection button and light up the lower lamp, in order to turn the function OFF.
