1-2 Xerox Customized Envelope Feeder – Problem Solving Guide
Overview, continued.
Feature Description
Hopper Side Guides
The stack of product to be fed is loaded between the Hopper Side Guides to
help keep it aligned for entry through the separator assembly area.
Wedge
The wedge provides the support necessary to transfer the center of gravity
of the product stack in the hopper up off the deck plate onto the feed belts
and against the separator assembly.
Stand (not shown)
The stand supports the Feeder including casters to provide easy mobility.
Feed Belts (not shown)
The feed belts provide the friction and motion necessary to pull individual
product from the bottom of the stack and through the separator assembly
area. The feed belts must be cleaned with isopropyl alcohol to ensure
proper functionality.
Discharge Belt (not shown)
The long discharge belt provides the friction and increased speed necessary
to pull the piece of product away from the separator assembly, resulting in
a gap between each piece of product as it leaves the separator assembly
area. The discharge belts must be cleaned with isopropyl alcohol to ensure
proper functionality.
Hold Down
The Hold Down assembly forces the product onto the discharge belt so it
can be singled out after it exits the separator assembly. The Hold Down
Rollers must be in contact with the clear discharge belt but not so low that
the black bar is resting on the belt. This would result in jams.
Separator
The separator assembly is adjustable so the gap between the separator
assembly and the feed belts allows only a single piece of product at a time
to pass under the separator. Allows quick adjustment from paper thickness
to envelope thickness.
Jog Button
Advances the Feeder at a fixed speed. This function is useful during Feeder
setup and may be used to clear jams.
Ready/Suspend Switch
Toggles between ready mode and suspend mode.
Reset Button
Resets the Feeder from a fault condition. The Reset Button is only present
on Feeders with “XPF125Axxx” and “XPF125Bxxx” serial numbers.
Stand Mount Interface
Designed to easily fit over the top of the stand. Once installed onto the
stand, fasten with provided thumb screws.
Locator Blocks
Designed to help align the Feeder within the Versant Paper Tray while
positioning the Feeder during installation, or when clearing a jam.
