Adjusting the 

Production 

Feeder Side Guides

Adjust the side guides:

1.

Take a stack of documents/BREs and place them in the feeder tray.

BREs with flap down and leading (top side pointing to system).

2.

Adjust the side guides by turning the thumb wheel 

A

 so the documents/BREs just fit

and can move without resistance.

Too much play causes skewing.
