Pitney Bowes DA300 manual Set the Separator Gap

Setting Up A Job (continued)

1. Set the Separator Gap

Whenever you switch from one material type to another, you need to set the gap between the separators and the feed roller before printing begins.

To find the correct spacing, see the figure on the next page and follow the instructions below.

Setting the Proper Feed Gap

1.Loosen the lock knobs to unlock all three H-Blocks.

2.Lift the H-Blocks to their highest position and lock in place.

3.Place a sample piece of material between the separa- tor 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 material and let them touch the material.

5.Lock each separator in place. When lowering the H- Blocks, check that the material is between the sepa- rator tabs and the feed roller.

NOTE: If the separator gap is not set properly, the printer will misfeed. 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.
