Insert Rear Dancer Bar(2H+ FJE Models Only)

1.FJE models with two or more printheads and the high speed printing kit require that a heavy dancer bar is inserted in the rear dancer bar channel (see paper path in Feeding Paper).

2.Take the heavy dancer bar (painted black on some models) and insert the ends into the notches in the stand legs on the back of the machine as shown in the image below.

3.Use a hand on the rear rolling bar to slow rotation as the dancer bar slides into the channel and forms a rear paper loop.
