Mastering Fold Plate Technique

Every PS Mailer folder sealer machine has two fold plates, an Upper Fold Plate which is the larger of the two and a Lower Fold Plate, a bit smaller. Each one has its own functional location and cannot be interchanged. Proper insertion of the fold plates is essential to achieving perfect folds every time.

Positioning the Upper Fold Plate

Position the Upper Fold Plate (larger) on the front end of your PS Mailers folder sealer machine where the forms are dispensed in their final folded format. Looking at the numbers on the Upper Fold Plate, think of it as a ruler and position the fold plate so the lowest numbers are inserted into the PS Mailers machine first, closest to the rollers. The largest numbers on the Upper Fold Plate should be at the end of the model, farthest away from the major mechanics of the PS Mailers machine. As the Upper Fold Plate is inserted, it should fit easily and at a slight angle. To ensure the Upper Fold Plate is firmly in place, look underneath the plate and verify the cutouts sit securely on top of the four black pegs. With a firm grip, apply slight pressure downward to ensure a properly secured fit.

Positioning the Lower Fold Plate

The Lower Fold Plate (smaller) is placed on the back side of the PS Mailers folder sealer machine and sits parallel to the motor cover. Again, looking at the numbers on the Lower Fold Plate and thinking of it as a ruler, position the Lower Fold Plate so the lowest numbers are inserted first and are closest to the rollers. The highest numbers should be farthest away from the main mechanics of the PS Mailers machine. Ensure the Lower Fold Plate is firmly in place by looking underneath the plate and be certain the cutouts sit securely on top of the four black pegs. With a firm grip, apply slight pressure downward to ensure a properly secured fit.

Proper Fit, Perfect Fold

Proper fit of both fold plates is essential to getting the perfect fold every time. If you periodically clean the PS Mailers machine, be sure to follow these fit techniques afterward to ensure smooth and perfect operation as well as perfect folds.

Don’t fret! It’s most likely one of four simple pressure points that just needs a little push. Four subtle, yet mandatory buttons or levers must be depressed - or as you have discovered - the machinery won’t operate. So, let’s get familiar with all of the mandatory ON buttons on your PS Mailers pressure sealer machine.

Location # 1 - Side Access Door

Inside the Side Access Door, feel around and you’ll find a button that if not depressed, prevents the machine from running. When the door is closed, the button will depress automatically. So, make sure the Side Access Door is fully closed.

Location # 2 - Toggle Switch & Fold Plate

Correct insertion of the back fold plate is key to the pressure sealer machine being fully operational. When the back fold plate is installed in its final resting position, it depresses a toggle switch located on its right side. The depressed toggle switch is what tells the pressure seal machine to run forward. [Does not apply to the PSM1800.]

Location # 3 - On/Off Switches

Okay, I know this seems like the most obvious button, but notice I said, “ON/OFF Switches.” Depending on the model you have, there could be two “ON/OFF” mechanisms and they both have to be in the ON/depressed position. The main power switch must be in the ON position. Then, make sure the RUN button on the control panel is pressed when you’re ready to start processing your pressure seal documents. If you have the PSM1800 or the PSM3000, you only have the ON/OFF button on top of the machine.

Location # 4 - Reset Button

Make sure the Reset Button is depressed and, therefore, in the ON position. It’s located on the back of the machine near the main plug. If it’s not depressed (or has been “tripped”), the pressure sealer machine won’t run.

Always remember these four simple spot checks. They’ll typically get your PSMailers pressure sealer machine running smoothly once again.

Identifying the fold style is the first and most important step in getting the results you need from your PS Mailers pressure seal investment. Determining the fold style is key to setting up the PS Mailers equipment to run the pressure seal documents properly.

Pressure seal technology brings incredible efficiency to any busy office. Because every business processes documents differently, PS Mailers offers six different fold styles compatible with PS Mailers pressure seal equipment. What types of applications do you use pressure seal documents for? How does pressure seal increase your office efficiency?

Pressure seal equipment can help manage the labor costs spent on time-intensive tasks such as manually folding and sealing envelopes for bulky mailings. Setting up pressure seal equipment for use when purchased takes just seven easy steps... and seven may sound like a lot at first, but I'm including steps like Step One: be careful taking the machine out of the box because it's really heavy! Don't forget that with any of the more technical steps, we have trained (friendly!) support staff ready to guide you through the process.

Let's get started.

Step One: Unpacking your pressure seal equipment

The weight of your new pressure seal equipment and tool kit is at least fifty pounds, so when taking it out of the packaging it may be necessary to have an extra person or business employee on hand to help you lift it properly and avoid the chance of serious injury. 

Step Two:  Insert the paper guides and adjust to the proper width.

One thing that can slow down business productivity is when paper gets jammed in the equipment, preventing it from working properly. This problem can be avoided using the paper guides. Carefully insert the paper guides and adjust to the proper widths to ensure documents will load and print efficiently.

Step Three:  Position your Fold Plate Stops.

You need to verify that both Fold Plate Stops are set to the correct position to the form-style you will be using for your mailings – Z-fold, C-fold, EZ-fold, or V-fold. 

Step Four:  Install the Fold Plates

Both the upper and lower fold plates must be installed according to instructions to ensure your pressure seal equipment works effectively.

Step Five:  Follow procedures to plug-in the machine

Plugging in your pressure seal equipment is certainly simple enough, but to ensure that everything continues smoothly it helps to first plug the power cord into the machine before plugging it into the wall outlet.

Step Six:  Turning on the machine

Flip the lower power switch to the “On” position and give your machine a few minutes to warm up. Your pressure seal equipment is almost ready to use.

(Get excited, you're about to save time and money!)

Step Seven:  Running the Machine

To run the PSM1800 machine, you can push the Start/Stop Switch on the machine's Control Panel. The feed system is preset, but if adjustments need to be made, you can refer to your Operator’s Manual. Remember when loading the machine, the glue leading edge should be facing upward.

Now you're ready to start doing business more efficiently!
