Narrow media and unused separation rollers
When feeding narrow material, make sure that the position of the not
used separator rollers is adjusted to the material thickness as well.
Therefore make sure to put a small piece of paper under each of the
unused separator rollers, when setting the paper separation.
Otherwise these rollers could wear the feed roller.
Adjusting the
paper side
guides Please check whether the medium to be processed is fed longitudinally or
transversally through the feeder.
• Place a small stack of products centrally into the feeder.
• Adjust the side guides (F4) according to the media width. Please
assure that the paper stack can still be moved loosely between the
two side guides. Afterwards fix the two wing grips (F1).
The ruler on the stacking tray may help you to align the products
optimally.
Adjusting the
paper feed
ramp and the
slide Put the feed ramp (F5) to a low and centered position. Insert a small
stack of paper as shown in Figure 100.
• Loosen the fixing screw of the slide (F6), mounted on the paper
feed ramp. Raise the paper feed ramp to an appropriate angle (see
note below) and fix it..
• Adjust the slide (F6) as shown in Figure 100. The lowermost two
or three media should fall loosely out of the stack, so they can be
easily gripped by the feed roller.
• Tighten the fixing screw of the slide.
Angle of the paper feed ramp
The optimal angle depends on the width of your material running
through the machine:
flexible material, small width
= steep angle
inflexible material, large width = flat angle
