1. Introduction  
INTRODUCTION  
The Quantum P70iX is designed to meet the unique requirements of the digital print  
marketplace. It is designed to support all commonly required punching patterns, includ-  
ing three-hole, comb, VeloBind, Twin-Loop wire, and Color Coil. Custom die patterns are  
also available. This new system is designed to deliver the quick changeover require-  
ments of the short-run digital printer.  
Virtually all set-ups are quickly and easily accomplished from the digital print display  
panel, overcoming a major time-consuming aspect of traditional production punches.  
Die changes can be accomplished in a short time without tools. The system is pre-pro-  
grammed with all common paper sizes, and can store 20 custom jobs.  
The P70iX is designed to handle a wide range of media. It can handle sheet sizes from  
5 ?” x 5 ?” to 9” x 12”, including mixed paper-weights and cover stocks. Another key fea-  
ture is the system’s ability to process intermixed index tabs without any special adjust-  
ments.  
The P70iX incorporates GBC’s new “stack processing” technology, which is designed to  
reduce operator labor cost. This new architecture allows the system to process a 14”  
stack (3,500 sheets 20# bond) without operator attendance. The P70iX offers a maxi-  
mum throughput speed of 60,000 sheets per hour.  
The Quantum P70iX is GBC’s revolutionary new, near-line, high-speed Digital  
Production Punch. It sets up in minutes and keeps up, side-by-side, with banks of  
today’s fastest digital print engines.  
These instructions have been prepared to acquaint you with the Quantum P70iX punch  
and it’s operation. Please read them carefully. Keep these operating instructions for  
future reference.  
UNPACKING AND SETUP  
The Quantum P70iX punch must be installed by a qualified GBC Technician.  
Your Technician will ensure that the system is properly leveled and ready to run.

2. Getting to Know your Quantum P70iX  
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR QUANTUM P70iX  
External factors can affect performance of your P70iX. These factors include  
customer requirements for hole quality, throughput materials (paper/transparen-  
cies/covers), toner coverage on the printed page, and environmental factors.  
STATIC in the paper can result in poor performance. If your P70iX runs a fresh  
ream of clean white paper but has trouble with your printed job, it may be due to  
static. The following tips might help you to correct this problem.  
Suggestions for static: If you’re P70iX Automatic Punch is having trouble  
running certain jobs, it may be due to excessive static build-up in the  
paper. Here are some suggestions that may help to minimize the static  
effect.  
1. Fan the paper before loading it into the P70iX. Do not jog the paper; this  
will only cause more static build-up.  
2. Slow the speed down on the P70iX. This will give the paper more time to  
settle down into the die.  
3. Consider the purchase of a room humidifier to add moisture into the air.  
Dry air helps to produce more static.  
4. Move your punching operation to an environmentally controlled room.  
5. Pay close attention to seasonal conditions. Procedures you follow in the  
hot humid days may need to be modified during dry winter months when  
static is most common.  
6. Consider storing your unwrapped paper jobs in very large Tupperware  
type containers to retain the moisture. Using these containers along with  
humidor type products can actually reintroduce moisture into the paper  
that was lost during the fusing process.  
7. Contact your copier/printer service department and enquire as to the  
possibility of lowering your fuser temperature.  
General areas to watch for maximum satisfaction.  
Tabs must have a _” shoulder.  
• When running mixed stocks, you must ensure the dimensions are consistent.  
One stock smaller than the other will prevent proper hole registration.  
• Very slippery paper or cover stocks may not run in the P70iX. Test small  
stacks at slower speeds and/or smaller lift sizes before committing to a large  
job.  
• Cover stocks mixed with paper usually run best at slower speeds.  
• If a very straight output stack is important for a particular job, you may find  
the stack quality best when run at a slower speed.  
• When running cover stock alone, performance is best at slower speeds.  
• Improper loading of stack will result in feeding problems.  
• Some specialty papers (NCR paper for example) will show handling marks.  
• The punched edge of a stack will be taller than when it went in. With some  
papers, paper sizes and die set combinations; you may want to reduce the  
input stack to prevent slumping, instability or excessive height.  
• Excessive paper curl can result in poor feeding or jams. If curl is not  
excessive (more than ?” 2” from edge) you will have best results with curl  
down. For our purposes, curl down is defined as the outside front edges are  
down and the middle is up.

2. Getting to Know your Quantum P70iX  
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR QUANTUM P70iX continued  
Suggestions for clear plastic covers:  
The Quantum P70iX is capable of handling and punching some types of clear cover  
materials. In fact, every Quantum P70iX is tested with clear covers before it leaves the  
factory. The following guidelines will help you to understand the capabilities of the  
Quantum P70iX system. In cases where your particular clear cover stock is not suitable  
to run through the Quantum P70iX, you may want to try separating the clear covers  
from the book contents and punching the clear covers using a GBC Magnapunch heavy  
duty table top punch.  
For clear cover stocks to work in the GBC Quantum P70iX, they require the body  
found in GBC Premium covers, which are 10-mil and 14 mil thickness.  
Clear covers must be run intermixed. The photo sensors used on the Quantum  
cannot detect clear covers.  
When running mixed stocks, you must ensure the dimensions are consistent. One  
stock smaller than the other will prevent proper hole-registration.  
With a smaller lift size the punch is more likely to pick a single clear cover. Lift sizes  
5-7 works best.  
It is best to run a job containing clear cover stocks at a slower speed. GBC recom  
mends 75 LPM for most jobs.  
Clear covers produce more static sticking than other stock, ambient conditions will  
affect performance.  
If a clear cover is picked alone, the punch may shut down with a false jam, however  
the stock will not be damaged.

PAUSE verses STOP commands:  
If you need to stop the system immediately, press “STOP” and the Quantum  
P70iX will stop in mid-cycle. You may then need to clear paper from the various  
points in the paper path if the system does not clear itself when you start-up  
again. If you want to stop the punching process, but can allow paper in the path  
to continue, press PAUSE”. This will stop the feeding process, but allows any  
paper currently in the paper path to run through the system.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION  
SLUG BIN (PAPER CHIP or PAPER CHAD) CONTAINER  
The slug bin container for your Quantum P70iX is located behind the left hand  
access door near the bottom of the machine. The container should be periodi-  
cally pulled out and emptied. This will avoid jamming and damage to the  
machine. The Quantum P70iX incorporates microprocessor technology to inform  
the operator when the container needs to be emptied.  
NOTE: When pull the Slug Bin is pulled out, make sure that it is emptied. To fully  
reset the slug counter system, the Slug Bin Container must be fully removed  
from the Quantum for a minimum of 5 seconds.  
PUNCH PINS  
You may need to remove some of the Punch Pins for proper punching of some  
combinations of paper sizes and punching patterns.  
SERVICE  
Should your Quantum P70iX require service contact your local authorized GBC  
service representative.  
There are NO user-serviceable parts inside the machine. To avoid potential per-  
sonal injury and/or property damage, DO NOT REMOVE THE MACHINES  
COVER.  
TROUBLESHOOTING Quantum P70iX  
Problem  
Probable Cause  
No power, wont punch  
Power cord not attached to back of machine or not  
properly plugged into the wall  
Die Set is not fully inserted  
Door or Lid is not closed  
Selectable pins have not been pulled  
Punches too many holes  
Go to SETUPand change the dimensions to mm”

The surface of the belts are designed to grab the  
paper. You will find that it is not possible to set the  
paper stack on the belts and slide it into the align-  
ment corner. Instead, push the stack gently against  
the door first, then against the sheet metal right  
guide and then set the stack down onto the belt.  
Also loading a smaller stack first followed by a cou-  
ple of larger stacks is best  
When manually loading the first  
stack of paper onto the Feed Belts,  
the bottom sheets of paper catch  
After heavy use, the machine begins  
to read jam, when there is no jam  
A blast of air across the lens of each of the three  
optical sensors periodically will prevent paper dust  
build up from interfering with their performance.
