6.12.1 Knife Adjust
The knife adjust function provides a way for the service technician to adjust/change the knife. In the
Knife Adjust screen, use the up and down arrow keys to toggle to the up or down status as desired,

In the parameter screen, use the up and down arrow keys to toggle to the desired parameter, and
press ENTER. See the descriptions that follow for an explanation of each parameter.
6.12.2.1 False Clamp
The false clamp plate is an optional attachment, which reduces the creasing of paper caused by the

The computer must know when the false clamp plate is installed on the machine to prevent
the backgauge from crashing into it. In the false clamp screen, use the up and down arrow keys to
toggle between ON or OFF to indicate the presence of the false clamp plate, and press ENTER.
6.12.2.2 Time-out
The time-out parameter allows the operator to set the amount of idle time before the display and line

down arrow keys to toggle to the desired time-out, and press ENTER.
