GENERAL

The Model 1810 Folder is a desktop folding machine designed for

the low-volume mailer. The folder is ideal for mailers whose normal

usage is about 20 sheets per day or those who have monthly peak

loads of under 1000 sheets.

The Model 1810 Folder can fold papers in letter, legal, statement,

and invoice sizes. The pieces to be folded can contain from one to

three sheets of a nominal 20# base paper. A single dial allows you

to select the desired fold based on paper size. Refer to chart on

page 6.

For single-sheet folding, you can use either the automatic feeding

function by placing the single sheets in the paper cassette or by

manually placing the sheet into the manual feed opening. For pieces

that are stapled or contain more than one sheet, you must feed

them manually. The following figure shows the major components

of the folder.

SETUP AND INSTALLATION

After opening both boxes, perform the following procedure to install

the folder.

1. Place the machine on the suggested working surface. This

surface should be a sturdy table. NOTICE: Don’t block the

sides or vented openings on your machine or use it over a

radiator or heat register.

2. Be sure the On/Off switch is Off ("O" side depressed) and insert

the power cord into the machine. Plug the other end into a 120

Vac, 60 cycle outlet. CAUTION: Only use a three prong outlet.

Never use an adapter or cut the ground prong from the plug.

3. Configure the paper cassette (if required) for the length of paper

to be used by moving the paper stop (shown on page 5) to the

correct position. Push the tabs toward the center to release the

stop and then insert it in the proper location. There is also a

reversible tray label. You can now load the paper in the tray.

4. Insert the paper cassette into the folder. Hold the cassette

firmly in both hands and slide the cassette into the opening in

the right-hand cover. Firmly push the cassette in as far as it will

go. You must lift up slightly on the end while pushing inwards.

Once the tray is in all the way, it should be lowered into place.

5. Install the wire stacker tray extension as illustrated on page 5.

OPERATION

CAUTION

This machine contains moving parts that can

catch hair, loose clothing, and jewelry. Keep

these articles clear during operation.

The machine can be operated in the Automatic feed (Paper cas-

sette) mode or Manual feed mode. Use the automatic feed mode if

you have a lot of single-sheets to feed of the same size. Use the

Manual feed mode if you have only a few sheets, multi-sheets, or

stapled sheets to feed.

AUTOMATIC FEED (PAPER CASSETTE) MODE

1. Select the type of fold you want from the table in this manual or

from the fold selection chart on the machine.

2. Turn the Fold selection knob to the number that corresponds to

the type of fold you want. The Fold selection knob has been

designed to have a stiff resistance while being rotated to pre-

vent the knob from moving while paper is being folded. The

knob will stop securely at the desired fold setting.

3. Configure the paper cassette as required (11 inch or 14 inch

paper). Set the length of the paper cassette by moving the

paper stop in the cassette. There is also a reversible tray label

on the end of the cassette.

4. Place up to the maximum number of sheets of paper in the feed

cassette, in the direction specified in the Fold Selection Table,

for the selected fold. Do not go past the fill line in the cassette

as overloading may produce poor quality folds or cause paper to

jam and misfeed. Make sure the front corners of the paper are

under the triangular shaped metal pieces at the corners of the

cassette.

5. Firmly insert the loaded cassette into its opening until you feel it

lock into the position. If you should experience crooked folds,

check if cassette is locked in properly by pulling on it to assure it

is in tight.

Model 1810 Operator Guide

SV 40115

6. Turn the power switch on and the paper will begin to fold. The

folded paper is deposited on the catcher tray.

7. When the 1810 completes the folding of all the paper in the

cassette, turn the power off and remove the folded paper.

MANUAL FEED MODE

1. Select the type of fold you want from the table in this manual or

from the fold selection chart on the machine.

2. Turn the Fold selection knob to the number that corresponds to

the type of fold that fits your application. The Fold selection

knob has been designed to have a stiff resistance while being

rotated to prevent the knob from moving while paper is being

folded. The knob will stop securely at the desired fold setting.

3. Raise the catcher tray wire out of the way and turn the power

switch on.

4. Carefully insert the paper to be folded into the manual feed

opening using the side walls of the catcher tray to help guide the

sheets. Be sure to insert it in the direction indicated in the Fold

Selection Table. The folded paper is deposited on the catcher

tray. NOTE: Any time a staple is used, it must be on the trailing

edge of the paper and parallel to the trailing edge.

Small material (5 1/2" x 8") must be fed under the guide wire to

prevent skewing.

5. Remove the folded paper before feeding the next piece of

paper.

11SV 40115

TROUBLESHOOTING

The 1810 has been designed to give many hours of trouble free

service, but in the event of a paper misfeed or stall, the motor may

stop and be unable to clear the stoppage. In these instances,

perform the following instructions to remove the paper.

1. Turn the 1810 off and unplug the power cord.

2. Remove the paper cassette.

3. Turn the Manual release knob, located on the rear of the ma-

chine, in the direction of least resistance using your free hand to

assist in paper removal.

If you are unable to remove the jam, remove the Catcher tray

panel and check to see if the upper buckle chute contains the

jammed paper. If it does, place a slight downward pressure on

the paper through the access opening while turning the Manual

release knob to advance the paper enough to allow clearing. If

the upper buckle chute does not contain the jammed paper,

rotate the Fold Selection knob to position 6 or 7 while turning

the Manual release knob to advance the paper enough to allow

clearing.

4. Reconnect the power cord and turn on the power switch to

assure the motor runs free.

5. Insert a single sheet of paper into the manual feed opening and

check for proper folding.

6. Turn the power switch off and insert the cassette.

7. Before turning the machine back on, make sure the paper

you’re folding is flat, without curls or turned up edges.

8. If you are unable to remove the jam, or if it repeatedly occurs,

call your Pitney Bowes service department for assistance.

If multiple sheet folds separate or hesitate during the folding pro-

cess, clean the rollers to remove excess buildup (see Maintenance

section).

MAINTENANCE

NOTICE

Use only recommended cleaning solutions. Do

not use any volatile cleaners.

Keep the outside surface of your 1810 clean by using a dampened

cloth and a water-based mild liquid or spray cleaner.

The rubber rollers may become glazed over a period of time. To

clean the rollers, first unplug the machine from the wall. Then use a

PB approved roller cleaner (Call the PB Supply line at 1-800-243-

7824 and order the Multipurpose Cleaning Kit (F902-0). This is an

approved alcohol wipe to clean the feed/fold rollers only and a clean

cloth to remove the glazing and built up ink.) NOTE: Do not use any

type of solvent or harsh cleaners on the rubber rollers.

Use mild soap and water only to clean the covers.

Do not attempt to service the Model 1810 yourself as opening or

removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage and moving

parts. Refer all servicing to a trained Pitney Bowes Customer

Service Representative.

Additional paper cassettes may be ordered through the PB Supply

line at 1-800-243-7824. The paper cassette part number is 658-3.

FORM SPECIFICATIONS

Material Handling Notes

Material handling problems with automatic mail handling equipment

are often due to distortion (warpage, curl, sticking, etc.). This can

be a result of poor packaging, improper handling or environmental

extremes during manufacture, transit, or storage. This is particularly

true of self-sealing forms, which contain glue that is extremely

sensitive to temperature and humidity.

Fortunately, there are a number of easy and effective measures you

can take to minimize problems, improve production and get the

most out of your Pitney Bowes equipment.

Be Sure Forms Meet Our Printed Specifications

Our equipment is designed to handle a certain range of material.

Forms which fall outside this range may run poorly or not at all.

Many operating problems are actually due to out-of-spec material.

When ordering forms, always specify "for mechanical folding and

sealing". There are many things the manufacturer can do to pre-

serve and protect forms.

Store and Handle Forms with Care

• Don't "crash" loaded skids on loading docks, in transport vans

or in the final storage area.

• Do block loaded skids in transport vans.

• Don't expose cartons to the elements; prolonged exposure to

intense sunlight, high humidity and so on can damage material.

• Do store materials in a controlled environment. We recommend

a nominal temperature of 75 °F at 50% relative humidity. Glue

formulas do vary, however, so temperature and humidity limits

above and below these may be better for certain materials..

• Do store cartons on skids or shelves to prevent absorption of

moisture, never directly on floors or against cement walls. Very

Model 1810 Operator Guide

15SV 40115

dry forms may accumulate static and be difficult to handle, but

damp forms will almost certainly stick together.

• Don't stack cartons too high; this can deform the cartons on the

bottom and damage the forms. Try to stack cartons so that

forms stand on edge.

Rotate Stock; Give Material Time to Stabilize

• Do rotate stock; use oldest stock first (first in, first out).

• Do transfer cartons from the storage area to the work area no

more than several hours before use.

• Don't remove boxes from their cartons until they are needed.

• Do allow about one hour of stabilization time for each degree of

temperature change from the storage to the processing area.
