4. With the in-feed tray pushed down and free of forms, spin the center in-feed roller. You are
looking for a minimal drag.
5. Make sure singulator mount is sitting straight on bracket. If crooked, loosen the two screws
and adjust until straight.
6. To evaluate operation of the singulator/gate tip assembly:
a. Turn OFF machine and unplug.
b. Remove lower fold plate.
c. Reach hand up underneath paper feed tray. You will feel the gate tip adjusting screw;
back off the screw about 3 turns.
d. Press down on the gate tip and remove your finger. The gate tip should go down and
spring up again. If it doesn’t work smoothly, determine where it’s binding and correct the
problem.
NOTE: Increase the spring tension on the singulator assembly by moving the springs up one
more notch.
7. After you have determined that the singulator assembly is operating smoothly, readjust the
gate-tip adjusting screw. Back off pressure on the gate tip until it moves freely up and down.
With paper in-feed tray in lowered position, turn screw to tighten until the gate tip no longer
moves up and down.
8. Reinstall the lower fold plate. Place a stack of unprinted forms on the feed tray and test run.
You are looking for consistent feeding with no hesitation and no double feeding.
9. If needed, fine tune adjustments can be made by turning the gate tip adjusting screw in small
increments until you get the desired results.
