Product Information
The printer is equipped with various components including four Sheet Separators, two Side Guides (one adjustable), a Rear Media Guide, and an adjustable Feeder/Media Sensor. These components are designed to ensure proper feeding and alignment of media during the printing process.
Product Usage
Installation Steps:
- Loosen the locking screws located behind the Sheet Separators and raise the Separators. Then, tighten the locking screws to hold the Separators in the up position.
- Place a single piece of media to be run under the Separators. Always position the media against the Left-hand Media Guide. Loosen the Separator locking screw and allow the Separator to settle onto the media. Then, tighten the locking screw. Repeat this step for each Separator.
- Position the Adjustable Media Side Guide so that it is about 1/32 from the sides of the media. Tighten the locking knob on the Side Guide. Place a stack of media in the machine and press and hold the Paper key to feed one piece through the Separator. Note that to prevent misfeeds and tearing, it is important to keep the Adjustable Media Side Guide at least 1/8 from the Side Frame.
- Adjust the Feeder/Media Sensor Assembly to match the width of the media. Unlock and slide the Sensor to align with the media being used. Align the edge of the media with the pointer on the Sensor Assembly. This step is particularly useful when using very narrow media.
- Adjust the Rear Guide Support using the knob to slide the Guide right and left. If you experience feeding problems, slide the Rear Support Guide right or left to keep the media aligned with the Media Guides.
- Adjust the Rear Media Guide by loosening the locking screw and moving the Guide until the arrow points to the length of the media being used on the scale attached to the Guide.
- Note that the amount of media that can be stacked on the Printer is determined by the weight of the material. If the Feeder is not functioning properly when the stack is full, reduce the amount of media in the stack until the Feeder functions properly.
Product Usage: Adjusting Media Thickness
Prior to running media through the Printer, it is important to adjust the
Clamshell height to accommodate your media using the Media Thickness feature.
Refer to the “Using Media Setup” section in the Using the Touchscreen portion
of the user manual for detailed instructions.
Product Usage: Ignoring Exit Sensor
Please refer to the user manual for instructions on how to ignore the Exit
Sensor if required.
Set up Feed
The printer is equipped with four Sheet Separators, two Side Guides (one adjustable), a Rear Media Guide and an adjustable Feeder/Media Sensor.
- Loosen locking screws located behind Sheet Separators [A] and raise Separators; then tighten the locking screws to hold the Separators in the “Up” position.
- Place a single piece of media to be run under Separators. Always place media against Left-hand Media Guide [B]. Loosen Separator locking screw and allow Separator to settle onto media. Then tighten locking screw. Repeat for each Separator.
- Position Adjustable Media Side Guide [C] so that it is about 1/32″ from sides of media. Tighten locking knob on Side Guide [D]. Place a stack of media in machine. Press and hold Paper key to feed one piece through Separator. NOTE: To prevent misfeeds and tearing, keep the Adjustable Media Side Guide at least 1/8″ from the Side Frame.
- Adjust Feeder/Media Sensor Assembly to media width. Unlock and slide Sensor to align with media being used. Align edge of media with the pointer [E] on the Sensor Assembly. This is particularly useful when using very narrow media.
- Adjust Rear Guide Support by using knob [F] to slide Guide right and left. If experiencing feeding problems, slide the Rear Support Guide right or left to keep media aligned with Media Guides.
- Adjust Rear Media Guide [G] by loosening locking screw and moving the Guide until the arrow [H] points to the length of the media being used on the scale attached to the Guide.
NOTE:
The amount of media that can be stacked on the Printer is determined by the
weight of the material. The feeder may not feed larger and heavier media when
the stack is full. If so, reduce the amount of media in the stack until Feeder
functions properly.
Adjust Media Thickness
Before running media through the Printer; adjust the Clamshell height to accommodate your media using “Media Thickness”. See “Using Media Setup” in the “Using the Touchscreen” section.
Ignore Exit Sensor
If primarily running narrow media, (such as #10 envelopes), you can adjust the Feeder Sensor to allow you to move the left edge of the media to use the half of the Printhead that would normally be idle during these types of jobs. This also extends printhead service life if you are primarily printing this type of job. Before running media through the Printer; open the Media Setup screen on the Touchscreen and turn the “Ignore Exit Sensor” button ON. This will prevent the Printer from creating an ERROR when the media bypasses the Exit Sensor.
NOTE:
If using dark or black media, the Sensor may not detect the end of a piece and
initiate a “Paper Jam” error. To prevent this, select “Ignore Exit Sensor”.
See “Using Media Setup” in the “Using the Touchscreen” section.
