QUICK START GUIDE: 1. Set the paper gate gap (knob B) to two thickness of the paper to be folded. 2. Place the paper to be folded onto the loading table against the fixed side lay. 3. Unclamp the moving side lay (knobs A) and slide up against the side of the paper but allow approximately a 1/2 mm or 1/64 inch gap between the moving side lay and the paper.
SETTING THE 'SHORT SUCK' OR 'LONG SUCK' MODE OF OPERATION. The Morgana ‘Major’ can be set to a 'Short Suck' mode of operation, which improves the feed of A4 sheets (in landscape orientation), and also improves the feed of sheets smaller than A4.
SETTING THE SPEED. (Speed setting dial ‘R’) 0 = Slow (Use for Delicate Paper and accuracy) 3 = Recommended Perforating Speed 10 = Fast (Use for Medium Weight Paper) Note:- Use setting number 6 for normal use. AIR DISTRIBUTION KNOB (D) Depending on the length of the sheet, the air distribution knob (D) should be rotated to supply the air to the correct ports as follows - Position 1 - This is for short sheets A5 or 8"...
Major Roller Tilt Lever (AA) should always be set in the '0' (square) position. To adjust folding out of square you can move the roller assembly in the + or - direction by releasing knobs (Y) and moving lever (AA) always re-tighten Knobs (Y).
Deflect The second (short) fold plate has the ability to be shut off into a deflect position to enable single folds to be achieved without removing the fold plate from the machine. To set the plate to deflect, first ensure that the tilt is set at zero, then after releasing the lock knob (H), keep winding the dial (J) to minimum length until it stops, then tighten the lock (H).
Major Reset Switch (W) This switch has two functions: · To set the type of feed, either pulse or stream · To zero the total and batch counts The switch has three positions: · Operating the switch upwards will zero the total count and if part way through a batch, it will reset the batch count.
PLUG-IN PERFORATOR The plug in perforator unit is used for perforating scoring and when folding card cover stock. Remove the second fold plate and fit the catch tray in position by hooking it over the opening for the second fold plate. The plug in perforator unit then locates the same as the fold plate and again, take care not to twist when fitting into position.

SETTING PERFORATORS Upper and lower hubs can be positioned on the shaft by unscrewing the 2mm-grub screw. Slide the hub with the blade attached along, the shaft into position to correspond to the work using the scale as a guide. For example, to perforate 20mm from the edge of an A4 sheet, you would set the blade at 190mm (210 minus 20).
FOLDING CARD For best results, the card material should always be printed cross grain as this causes less resistance when folding. Pre scoring of card stock is also recommended By using the plug in perforator unit to deliver card, the problem of the stock curling will be minimised.
Major ROLLER ADJUSTMENT The unique fold roller design of your Morgana Major will fold most paper stocks without the need for adjustment. If you have a requirement to fold very delicate or thicker stock or re- feeding to produce a cross-fold the fold roller gap can be easily adjusted as follows: - 1.
SENSOR CLEANING The sensors, that detect and count the sheets, are located on the end of the ball holder just next to the fold roller unit. If the counter is failing, the sensors can be accessed for cleaning by removing the roller assembly as described above. Clean by using a soft brush or damp cloth.
Major FOLDING TIPS AND TROUBLE SHOOTING: SHEETS DIFFICULT TO FEED Check that you have not got too many sheets in the feeder. Heavy-coated stock will not feed as high a pile as for example 80-gsm copier paper. Make sure the moving side lay is not pushed in too tightly against the paper. Similarly, if the moving side lay is set too far away from the paper stack, this will allow the air to escape instead of blowing through the paper.
PAPER WILL NOT STACK CONSISTENTLY: Make sure the feed is consistent before attempting adjustments to the stacker. Set the stacking roller position as described in the manual. Sometimes a small repositioning of the roller will improve the stacking. If the paper is too curly when being delivered, place the catch tray and plug in perforating unit with blades disengaged into position and deliver out the back.
The main switch will cut out if you have a paper jam or overlap is indicated. FOLD ROLLER REPLACEMENT: Your Morgana Major has been designed to make fold roller replacement an easy and low cost operation. Your local sales agent will be able to supply you with a complete replacement roller assembly which allows you to change the roller assembly yourself as described in the roller assembly removal section of this manual.
