Setting the Proper Feed Gap

A. Unlatch and lift the lock lever to its highest position. This raises the H-Block.

B. Place a sample piece of material between the separator fingers (the lower section of the H-Block) and the feed roller.

C. Move the Lock Lever to the central position so that the H-Block drops onto the material, then push the Lever down to lock the H-Block in place.

Tips for Setting the Separators

•The blue hex nut has six (numbered) settings. When one setting wears out, turn the nut to the next setting. This will extend the life of the feed roller.

•If the material extends partially under the front H-Block as in the example above, you could temporarily move the material under both separator fingers of the front H-Block and set this too. This may help with separation and feeding of 'difficult' material.

•Filled Envelopes - Try setting a slightly wider separator gap by adding one or two empty envelopes on top of the filled envelope used to set the separator gap.

•Postcards - Try setting a slightly wider separator gap by adding one sheet of standard copy paper on top of the postcard used to set the separator gap.
