Review
The side guides hold the stack of product being fed and guide the
product through the feeder in a straight line of movement. You can
adjust the side guides to accommodate different sizes of product.
STEP 2:
Side Guides Setting
A good “rule-of-thumb” measurement to use is
about 1/16 in. (1.6 mm) between product edge
and side guide (1/8 in. or 3.1 mm overall).
Objective
Adjust the side guides so the product stack maintains uniformity from
top to bottom, with no drifting or binding. Adjustments are made
horizontally .
Make sure the space between the side guides can accommodate the
size of the product being fed. Consider the following as you adjust the
guides:
•
An initial starting point should always be that each guide is of equal
distance from the center point of the machine.
• Each edge of the product should rest equally on belts either side
of gate assembly (or equidistant spacing). There can be certain
instances where guides do not need to be centered due to product
characteristics. This is called offset spacing.
• Adjust both side guides to be as close as possible to either sides of
the product, without causing binding, curling of edges, or resistance
to movement.
Procedure
To adjust each side guide for proper equidistant horizontal spacing,
follow these steps:
1. Place a small stack of product in the hopper.
2. Using the side guides adjustment knob (centrally located be
-
tween the two guides), turn in either direction until guides are
located at the recommended distance from the product:
1/16 in. (1.6 mm) for each edge, 1/8 in. (3.1 mm) overall.
3. Visually check both guides for proper spacing from product.
To adjust each side guide for proper offset horizontal spacing, follow
these steps:
1. Push down on the side guides adjustment knob to disengage
guides from gear mechanism.
2. Grasp whichever side you wish to offset first and move into
position.
3. Place a small stack of product in the hopper, with edge of
paper against offset guide.
4. Move the second side guide so that it is located at the recom -
mended distance from the product: 1/16 in. (1.6 mm) for each
edge, 1/8 in. (3.1 mm) overall.
5. Lift up on the adjustment knob so that the guides lock into
place.
6. Visually check both guides for proper spacing from product.
