Step 7:
(Optional) Tighten the paper guide locking knobs to secure the paper guides in position.
(
NOTE: These knobs must be loosened to move the paper guides

Setting the Sheet Separator(s)
The HD-CXENVL-FDR utilizes a patented “Buckle Separation” technique for separating the bottom envelope from
the stack.
Most envelopes will run well with a single separator positioned in the middle of the feeder. A second separator
assembly is included with the feeder and can be added if needed. (more on this later)
Note that the separator device on the HD-CXENVL-FDR is positioned between two feed belts. When set
properly, the separator tip will push down on the envelope as it is advanced by the feed belts from the bottom
of the stack. This forms a downward “buckle” in the envelope for easy separation from the stack.
This method is simple, effective and easy to set up, and does not require a lot of fine tuning. The downward
buckle breaks the friction “bond” between the bottom envelope and the stack, making it easier to pull the bottom
envelope away.
This method of separation also reduces jams because with the separators pushing down on the envelope
between, rather than on top of, the feed belts, there is not a “pinch point” created.
The green “
Flex Belt
” positioned in the middle directly beneath the separator serves to help advance the
envelopes while allowing the envelope to buckle downward, resulting in positive envelope advance and
enhancing consistency.
