Adjusting the Feeder

For best feeding results with most media (including tri-fold material),
raise the top tension knob and turn the front tension knob to the plus (+)
sign.

For postcards, position the front adjustment knob to minus (-) and the
top tension knob down.

If envelopes are not being fed properly, you may have to adjust the
tension knobs as instructed below.

Top tension knob:

To correct double feeding, place the knob in down position. To put knob
in down position, push knob down, a little more than halfway, and rotate
counterclockwise until the knob locks in place.

For mail 1/8" to 3/8" thick: knob must be in up position. To put knob in
up position, push knob down and rotate clockwise until the knob pops
up.

Front tension knob:

For thin materials:

1. Adjust the front tension knob to the two o'clock position.

2. As the mail feeds, turn towards the plus (+) sign in small increments

until mailpieces feed properly.

When returning to regular mail thickness, reset knobs to previous
setting.
