Chapter 4 Maintenance Cleaning the FusionPunch II 4
4-2 Maintenance
Cleaning the FusionPunch II Your FusionPunch II is designed as a high-speed, inline production Punch that requires only a minimal amount of attention from the operator. But, because it is a production machine and because it handles and punches paper, we recommend a light cleaning of the paper path components periodically, to remove accumulations of paper dust, paper chips and toner. GBC recommends the following operator maintenance practices.
What to Use GBC recommends using only 90% Isopropyl alcohol and a clean, lint-free cloth. 90% Isopropyl alcohol is available from any local pharmacy. CAUTION: To prevent possible damage to the machine, use only 90% Isopropyl alcohol. Do not use film remover or any other type of cleaning solvent. What to Clean A good rule for cleaning that is easy to remember is to follow the paper path through the Punch and Bypass Stacker, from left to right.
Cleaning the Punch 1 Open the Top Covers on the FusionPunch II, as shown in Figure 4-1. 2 Open (lift) the Input Ball Tracks, as shown in Figure 4-1.

G-2 Glossary
Glossary of Common FusionPunch II Terms The following is a glossary/definition of terms that are common to the GBC FusionPunch II and all related inline finishing devices. Backgauge - an adjustable assembly that serves as a stop for the paper when it arrives under the Punch Die. The adjustment of the Backgauge determines the distance from the long edge of the paper to the punched holes. This adjustment applies only when a GBC Cerlox 19-hole Punch Die set is in use.
Die Pins - the actual cutting tools that are part of the Die Set. Each Die Pin cuts a hole in the paper. A die set that punches several holes has several die pins. Also, these pins are individually removable to adjust for different widths of paper, or for replacement, in case one becomes damaged. Document Transport Ball Track Assembly - an assembly that is located in the center of the paper path through the Punch.
Inline - same as "in series with", or directly behind another device. The FusionPunch II is inline with the printer and the Stacker, in turn, is inline with the FusionPunch II. Misfeed - a condition that occurs when paper becomes folded or wrinkled and becomes stuck while feeding, thereby causing a paper jam. Offline - when finishing devices are not being fed or controlled by the printer in a live production run. When the FusionPunch II and Stacker are being fed manually, they are in offline mode.
Printer - the machine that actually produces the documentation (prints the books) and controls the finishing devices. The Xerox DocuPrint and DocuTech are examples of printers. Print Queue - a set of values or system configuration parameters in the printer’s operating system that communicates input and output information from the printer to a finishing device, such as the FusionPunch II. The System Administrator can set up or change these values from the keyboard.
Right Punch Door - the narrow door in the front of the Punch cabinet that, when opened, allows access to various adjustment knobs and to the Slug (punched paper chaff) Bin, which must be emptied periodically. Setting the Backgauge - an adjustment procedure that is done to ensure that the margin between the leading edge of the paper and the punched holes is correct.
Stacker Tray - a tray internal to the Stacker, as described above. System Administrator - the person who is responsible for setting up and maintaining the printer’s operating system. The System Administrator also installs new software, when necessary. Two-Sided - a printing job that uses both sides of the paper; also called Double-Sided, or Duplex.
