The following procedure describes the steps for setting up
a job.
1. Set the Separator Gap
Switching from one material type to another requires
setting the gap between the separators and the feed roller
before printing begins. To find the correct spacing, refer to
the figure on the next page and follow the instructions
below:
1. Loosen the lock knobs to unlock all three
H-Blocks.
2. Lift all three H-Blocks to their highest position and
lock in place.
3. Place a sample piece of material into the input
area. Align the sample with the left wall of the
input area, then place it between the separator
fingers (the lower section of the H-Blocks) and the
feed roller.
4. Lower only the H-Blocks that come in direct
contact with the sample material. Make sure the
material is between the separator fingers and the
feed rollers, and that the separator fingers do not
directly contact the feed rollers.
5. Lock each separator in place.
NOTE: If the separator gap is not set properly, the
printer will misfeed or jam. If the gap is to big, the
printer will feed doubles (two or more pieces at the
same time). If the gap is too small, material will
jam at the feed roller entrance. If you're running
post cards and have feeding problems, set a
smaller gap between the H-Block separators and
feed rollers, or use thinner media.
