4.7 Feed Adjustments
It is common to make adjustments to the feed and transport of pieces
prior to printing. It is useful to do so.
Skew: First, Identify where the Skew enters the piece by watching it
move through the machine. If an imager is too low, it will drag a piece
and cause a jam or skew. If the piece hits one of the input rolls off cen-
ter, or if the roll is not turning freely, it will cause skew at the input roller.
Finally, check the piece as it comes from the feeder. If a side guide is too
loose or crooked, the piece will feed skewed. If the piece is offset under
the separator, skew can occur. If there are two separators on a piece,
both need to have the same resistance or skew will result.
Double Feed:
Double feeds are a result of the separator not doing its
job. If you have doubles, tighten the separator by setting it up with a thin-
ner material than the samples for printing. If that doesn’t work consult
trouble shooting under the “rotate the separator” discussion as wear has
surpassed the ability to adjust.
Erratic Feed: This situation is characterized by widely varying gaps be-
tween the pieces. It is typically cured by adjusting the feed speed and by
cleaning and re-adjusting the feed separator.
4.8 Connecting the Printer
The connection address has been set during initial installation and set up
of the software. The printer communicates with its host computer
through a high speed USB to Ethernet adapter. The connection status
will be shown at the bottom of the Control Panel screen.
1. Connect the USB cable from a high speed USB port on the computer
to the printer.
2. Turn on the printer
3. Turn on the computer.
