Insert the communication cable part way into the socket on the
handler and, while pushing lightly, rotate until the connector is
oriented correctly (it will stop and make a slight click sound
when it goes the rest of the way on).
The feeder Status lamp should light if the PSV7000 is on.

Pull the carrier tape forward to start it into the sprocket wheel.
Then advance the carrier tape, via the tape feeder, into the exit
chute. Refer to previous figures for the tape chute.
The empty device
carrier
tape will come out of the slot below the
mounting latch. If the Take-up Reel option is not used, place a
box on the floor to contain empty carrier tape.

cover
tape through the tape window and onto the
feeder’s cover tape roller.
