General Safety

Operator safety and the safety of others in the work area depend on the operator using good judgment and reasonable care while utilizing the machine. This user manual and the warning labels affixed to the machine provide notification of specific potential hazards. Please read and understand the manual including all of the danger, warnings, and caution statements. If after reading the manual you have questions, contact your supervisor or your Pregis service technician to get answers before working with the machine.

Only trained authorized persons will carry out any adjustments, repairs, maintenance or cleaning with the equipment isolated from power supply and no longer in motion.
Never deface or remove factory installed warning decals. If a decal ever becomes lost, damaged, or illegible, report this condition to a supervisor and obtain a replacement decal from Pregis.
Keep the work area clean and uncluttered. Walking surfaces should always be free of packing material and debris to prevent a slipping or tripping hazard.

Understanding the Controls

The Power Switch for the Quantum Series is used to turn the electrical power “ON” or “OFF” and is located on the right side of the head assembly, next to the power inlet.
When operating the Quantum Pro with a foot pedal, its functions include:
- Starting and stopping the machine (i.e. dispensing material)
- Manual Feed to Length (MFTL), Feed to Length (FTL), Auto-Feed to Length (A-FTL) functions
- Override for all modes of operation

Head Assembly Controls

Operation

DO NOT attempt to defeat any safety feature.
DO NOT place any part of your person or foreign object into the drive.
DO NOT operate the machine if any part of your body becomes fatigued.
DO NOT operate the machine if you are under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medications that can make you less alert or affect your judgment.

Operating Modes:

Manual Mode
Manual Feed-to-Length (FTL) Mode
Auto Feed-to-Length (A-FTL) Mode

Manual Mode:
The manual setting allows the operator to dispense material using the foot pedal only. In this mode, machine speed can be adjusted to user preference as needed.

Manual Feed-to-Length (FTL) Mode
The manual feed-to-length (FTL) setting allows the operator to dispense a preset length of material by activating the foot pedal briefly (i.e. “tapping” the foot pedal). Once the foot pedal is “tapped” (activated briefly) the machine will dispense a preset length of material. The operator must repeat the process to receive additional, preset lengths of material. In this mode, the foot pedal also acts as an override. To receive a length of material greater than the preset length, press and hold the foot pedal until the desired length is received. The preset length can be adjusted (using the add/subtract buttons on head assembly) as needed.

Quantum Magazine Loading (Fanfold Paper)

Lock the front two casters and open the doors by lifting and pulling the knobs.
Load the first bundle of paper with the splice arrow facing you.
Note:
- The bundle should be touching the back wall of the magazine
- Bottom corners as necessary
Cut the sleeves inward with a strap cutter, pull the sleeves straight out holding the bundle with your other hand.
To connect paper bundles for continuous dispensing, see directions printed on labels of the paper bundle.
Repeat that process up to 5 bundles high, then lift, rotate and close the doors, locking them in place.
Position the magazine squarely behind the machine and lock all 4 casters.
Open the upper roller assembly until it is completely vertical.
Crumple the top 2-3 feet of the paper bundle, tightly twist the end. Next feed it through the safety shrouding and up to the orange roller.
Pull the paper out and over the tear plate, then close the upper roller assembly.

Quantum Pro Stand Height Adjustment

Loosen the center locking post screw.
Lift the pole up and or down to the desired height.
Tighten the center locking post screw. Pregis
