SETTING THE AUTOMATIC FEEDER
For efficient Auto-feeding, the setting of the Paper Caliper is very important.
Make sure the pump is off while adjusting the caliper. Use a piece of the stock to be run as a
“feeler gauge”. Place one sheet under the caliper and place another sheet on top of that sheet.
Now move it back and forth under the caliper while adjusting the caliper down
(counterclockwise to lower, clockwise to raise) until the second sheet is not able to go under the
caliper.
Caliper disk Vs. Rubber caliper
For most jobs you will use the caliper disk. If you are struggling with feeding on light stocks or
carbonless forms you may want to switch to the rubber caliper assembly. It is design to give
added grip to the second sheet to prevent double sheets. As you use the rubber caliper it will
create a flat spot on the rubber and will need to be rotated periodically.
Steel vs. Plastic vs. Glass Balls
The type and combination of balls is dependent on the weight of the stock and the amount of
curl on the paper. If you are experiencing skewing or the machine is not registering you may
need to change the balls. The lighter the stock, the light the ball combo needs to be. To remove
the steel balls use a magnet. To remove the plastic or glass use a piece of tape.
CONTINUOUS FEEDING
Once your job is in progress, you can continually add paper to the feeder hopper without
stopping the transport. The amount of stock that can be loaded will vary as paper weights and
stocks will vary. For most stocks you will be able to load 1" to 1 1/2" of stock at a time. As you
increase the amount of stock you may need to increase the pressure flow from the pump. Also
when the stock mount decreases you may need to decrease the amount of pressure flow.
