Step 6. (optional)
If you run envelopes that require more than one separator, install the second separator in one of the alternate
positions on the bridge using the included attaching bolt. Set the second separator like the center one.
NOTES
The separators do not need a lot of fine tuning, as a small buckle is all that is required. Some experimentation is
recommended to get the best results with your materials.
There is no specific configuration that you must use, and this design offers tremendous flexibility. If one
configuration doesn’t work, try moving the separators to different positions across the feeder bridge.
Setting up the envelope support wedge (back wedge)
The HD-CXENVL-FDR features a unique one-piece envelope support wedge that promotes consistent
separation and feeding of a variety of envelopes.
It is very important to set the envelope support wedge
position properly for the best results.
The envelope support wedge is attached to the top plate of the feeder.
When the feed motor is
running, the top plate and envelope support wedge move up and down to “jostle” the envelope stack.
This unique feature improves feed consistency by helping the envelope stack to descend in the hopper
more consistently. Additionally, the “jostling” feature aids in aligning the envelopes properly for
straighter feeding.
The envelope support wedge performs several important functions:
1. Supports the weight of the stack so that the weight is not all on the belts
2. Tilts the back end of the media stack up so the lead edge presses against the belts
3. (most important) While the bottom envelope is getting pulled away from the stack by
the feed belts, the support wedge holds the other envelopes off the belts, so they don’t
advance too closely after the first one.
NOTE: Consistent envelope separation and feeding requires proper setup of the separator (shown
earlier) and the position of the envelope support wedge. As with the separators, some experimentation
with wedge positions is recommended.
