Different kinds of paper sizes such as folio, quarto, octavo, and sixteen-mo. Each type indicates how many times the paper has to be folded. While these are older, they are nowadays connected with ISO standards such as the A paper sizes.
The different criteria used to determine differences in paper types such as coarseness and thickness, and the different fabrication methods and wood types from which the types of paper stem.
The national and international requirements, specifications and guidelines to ensure that products, services and processes are of good quality and fit for purpose.
Turn hand screws on the paper cutter to tighten the paper guide, which holds sheets, stamps, and labels in position.
Adjust cut sizes and depths of cutting tools. Adjust heights of worktables and machine-arms.
Fit the cutting template, set the guillotine, load pages and trim the edges to obtain the desired shape while keeping production quality and quantity.
Record numbers of a specific sheet cut sequence by placing serial numbers on stock cut and issued revenue stamps.
Raise and replenish heaps of sheets, pages, covers on the machine table to align edges and feed the machine input.
Operate paper cutter machines used for cutting, creasing, perforating, and engraving single sheets of paper. Put a stack of paper against the knife blade, flatten the stack of paper, and adjust controls to make a certain cut.
Overlook the insertion and output of finished products in order to prevent paper jams.
Continuously check up on the automated machine's set-up and execution or make regular control rounds. If necessary, record and interpret data on the operating conditions of installations and equipment in order to identify abnormalities.
Perform tests putting a system, machine, tool or other equipment through a series of actions under actual operating conditions in order to assess its reliability and suitability to realise its tasks, and adjust settings accordingly.
Set up and give commands to a machine by dispatching the appropriate data and input into the (computer) controller corresponding with the desired processed product.
Ensure the machine is fed the necessary and adequate materials and control the placement or automatic feed and retrieval of work pieces in the machines or machine tools on the production line.
Identify operating problems, decide what to do about it and report accordingly.
Wear relevant and necessary protective gear, such as protective goggles or other eye protection, hard hats, safety gloves.
Check and safely operate machines and equipment required for your work according to manuals and instructions.

Cut, store, and issue revenue stamp labels.
Use an instrument suitable for slotting and corner cutting for corrugated paperboard.
Set up and monitor the machine that automatically sorts the different pages of documents.
Feed material squarely into the machine and check that the position of cuts and creases is correct, without damage. Produce a sample to match required standards and to possibly make adjustments.
Tend machine that perforates sheets of papers with lines of fine holes, facilitating tearing sheets. Install perforating disks in the machine and set guides to adapt the size of the sheet by using hand tools. Feed the machine and remove perforated sheets as they accumulate on the machine table.
Use tools to create small holes or series of holes in printed material in order to allow easy separation from designated sections of the printed output.
Prepare reports on wood technology production and progressive development of wood based materials.
Identify dull edges to sharp tools, or any defect in the edge. Use appropriate equipment to safely and effectively sharpen the tool. Maintain and protect sharpened tools. Report irreparable faults to the appropriate person.
Use suitable units, tools and equipment to carry out calculations for length, area, volume, weight, time, geometric shapes and sketches.
Check the quality of basic materials used for the production of semi-finished and finished goods by assessing some of its characteristics and, if needed, select samples to be analysed.
Read and interpret technical resources such as digital or paper drawings and adjustment data in order to properly set up a machine or working tool, or to assemble mechanical equipment.
Dispose of waste materials which pose no risk to health and safety in a manner which complies with recycling and waste management procedures except for waste incineration.
Maintain records of the progress of the work including time, defects, malfunctions, etc.
Oversee the data presented by a gauge concerning the measurement of pressure, temperature, thickness of a material, and others.
Perform regular maintenance, possibly including corrections and alterations, on a machine or machine tool to ensure it remains in a proper productive state.
Keep records of the machine's faults, interventions and irregularities for quality control.
Replace the old blade of a sawing machine with a new one by removing the chip brush, taking away the front blade guide, loosening the blade tension and removing the blade. Assemble and install new blade by replacing the front blade guide, installing the chip brush, replacing the blade cover and adjusting blade tension.
Maintain required company records and forms in order to report any defective materials or questionable conditions of manufacturing machinery and equipment.
