Step 3:
Remove the two screws holding the Die rail at the front of the SmartPunch.
Step 4:
Remove the four screws holding the Die rail at the rear of the SmartPunch.
Step 5:
Remove the wire that attaches the solenoid to the PC board. After all the screws and
the wire are removed you can now remove the back gage and rail as an assembly.

BACK GAUGE ASSY
Step 6:
Facing the back gauge pull the rail from the right side first and slide out the assembly.
Step 7:
Install the new back gage. Also, when replacing the two screws that hold the die rail
make sure you install the brush that is provided in the kit.

Step 8:
Replace the E-Prom with the new E-Prom provided. Be sure to orient the E-Prom
correctly with the notch. The new E-Prom not only provides software to work with the
new Back Gage mechanism, it also contains new software that changes the default time
to 4 minutes. This provides the customer sufficient time to clear a jam without returning
to by-pass mode.

Step 9:
Reattach the wire harnesses using wire ties. Add a small loop to the new wires coming
from the new Solenoid to the PCB and using a wire tie, secure the harness so that it is
not in the path of the Chip Tray.

Step 10:
Install the chad bin.
Step 11:
Install the new (see footnote below) die set. Test the SmartPunch system running first
one page at a time, then two pages then 5 pages, then 10 pages and lastly run 50 test
pages.

Step 12:
Replace the cover and run a few more test jobs.
Step 13:
Skew Adjustment: Check for proper hole alignment to paper edge.
The back gage is designed to give you some adjustment when the three screws are loosened.
It will give you up and down play, which allows you to remove skew.
The ideal situation is to have the back gage all the way to the top position.
If not, paper can slip past the paper stops and give you a deep punch. This may occur if the back
gage is tightened into place in it’s bottom most position. This situation is most likely to occur when
using the VeloBind or PB die sets, which are at one end of the Back Gage tolerance spectrum.

using the VeloBind or PB die sets, which are at one end of the Back Gage tolerance spectrum.
Three-Hole Die Set: At the other end of the Back Gage tolerance is the Three-Hole Die Set. If the
customer owns a Three-Hole Die, check this die to see if it is easy to insert and remove. If the die is
too tight you will need to lower the back gage slightly to achieve the tightness you desire, while still
retaining the PB and VeloBind functionality mentioned above.
