Setting up a print job means adjusting the printer to
accommodate the width, height, thickness and weight of
your material.
There are two things that determine how reliably your
printer feeds: the setup adjustments and the quality of
your material. A good setup minimizes misfeeds and jams.
And your printer will perform at its best when you run
material that falls within our published specifications.
Please see Appendix B for complete material specifica-
tions.
The figure on the next page calls out key machine compo-
nents, each of which is briefly described in the text that
follows. Refer to the figure on the next page for compo-
nent location.

Adjust to the thickness of your material. The gap between
the H-Block separator fingers and the feed rollers should
be just enough to allow a single piece to feed through the
printer.
