Automatic “Feeder Ready Lever” Reset
When you lift the delivery table up to remove the feeder from the printer, or to move the feeder into position
with the printer, the Feeder Ready Lever will automatically be moved to the right (not ready position). This gives
the operator ample opportunity to advance envelopes properly into the printer before moving the Feeder Ready
Lever forward, indicating a ready state to the printer.
REMEMBER:
If the “Feeder Ready Lever” is NOT in the forward position, the printer will NOT recognize that there
is media present in the MP Tray.
Avoiding false “Paper Jam” conditions
Setting up the HD-CXENVL-FDR properly to achieve consistent envelope delivery to the printer is imperative as the
printer does not feature a “retry” in the Multi-Purpose Tray (MP Tray). This means that if the feed roller cycles
once and does not feed an envelope into the printer, the printer immediately considers it a jam and stops.
For this reason, it is important to run the ENVELOPE FEEDER at 50% speed or more on most envelopes. It is also
important that the feeder is maintained properly to deliver consistent envelope feeding with small gaps between
envelopes on the delivery table.
We strongly recommend setting the feeder up away from the printer to ensure consistent feeding before trying to
print envelopes. If inconsistent feeding develops, the printer will stop more frequently. These stoppages result in
user intervention as described on the previous page, but also results in the printer recalibrating temperatures
more often, which slows printing down considerably.
If the envelope feeder runs out of envelopes, jams, or is delayed in getting envelopes to the printer in time, the
printer will recognize this as a “PAPER JAM” and will indicate this on the display. Since this circumstance may not
actually be a paper jam (i.e., feeder out of paper); the printer can easily be reset with minimal effort. The
following steps should be taken to reset the printer:
1. If the feeder was simply late in delivering the envelopes to the printer, but envelopes are still in position over
both photo sensors on the delivery table. Simply open the top left door on the exit end of the printer and then
close the door to reset the “Paper Jam” condition on the printer.
Tip
: Check that the feeder speed is set appropriately (normally 50% or higher).
2. If the feeder ran out of envelopes. Move the “Feeder Ready Lever” to the right or “not ready” position. Load
more envelopes into the feeder. Momentarily press the “Reset / Hold to Jog” button to advance the first envelope
down the delivery table to the exit sensor. Then move the “Feeder Ready Lever” back to the left (forward) to
indicate to the printer that the feeder is ready. You will then need to open the top left door on the exit end of the
printer and then close the door to reset the “Paper Jam” condition on the printer.
3. If the feeder jammed. Turn power to the feeder off and then clear the envelope jam. Moving the feeder away
from the printer may be necessary to do this. After clearing the jam, reposition and reload the feeder.
Momentarily press the “Reset / Hold to Jog” button to advance the first envelope down the delivery table to the
exit sensor. Then move the “Feeder Ready Lever” back to the left (forward) to indicate to the printer that the
feeder is ready. You will then need to open the top left door on the exit end of the printer and then close the door
to reset the “Paper Jam” condition on the printer.
