DS-1200 G4i  Operator Manual    Issue 4  -  Nov 2020

8.3 Loading the Envelope hopper

To load the hopper, rotate the adjustment knob to set the side guides slightly wider 

than the envelope - allow about 1mm each side).
Slide the backstop rearwards and load the envelopes on the track 

with flaps 

facing forwards.

 At the front of the track, raise the centre guide and use the 

backstop to push the stack of envelopes forwards, so that the front ones follow the 

slope of the track and make contact with the ribbed rollers at the front. Do not push 

the backstop in too tightly - it will automatically adjust to the correct tension when 

the machine starts operating.

1.  Backstop
2.  Load envelopes stack to follow the contour of the track. Flaps must 

face upwards and forwards.

3.  Side guide adjustment knob.
