feeding all weights of paper like the
High normal force is one of the most significant contributors to double feeding paper. The pick arm is counter balanced by an extension spring located on the pick arm to reduce weight in the rest state. This spring is factory set to exert no more than ten to fifteen grams on the stack. This is as light as can be realistically set and always guarantee there is some force to start the autocompensating phenomena. This spring is not to be considered an adjustment for feeding problems unless it is obvious that the pick arm cannot fall all the way down to the bottom of the tray or has come loose.
Poor gear efficiency can cause the arm to generate higher normal forces. If the pick assembly is noisy, replacement may be required.
The arm must pivot freely through its full range of motion. On 500 sheet trays there are wrap springs located on the pivot arbors of the arm. These springs aid to prevent the arm from bouncing. If the arm appears to be binding or sticky near the bottom of the tray these springs may be the problem. Reducing the tension on the counterbalance spring may be used as a temporary fix to get additional weight at bottom, until the pick assembly can be replaced. However, the counterbalance spring is not to be considered an adjustment for feeding problems.

The printer options make electrical connection automatically or autoconnects requiring no external cables when the option is mechanically installed under the printer. Communication between the option and the base printer stops when you remove an option located above or below the printer. The printer no longer recognizes the option and deletes associated messages. Each installed option below the base printer provides an electrical autoconnect to the
