Theory of operation: The T-250 is a stand-alone machine that can process media into a
stacker or tray. The T-250 will process various sizes of media and place a single “tab” on
the lead edge of the media. The media can vary in length from 3.6” to 11” and vary in
thickness from a C-folded sheet of 20# bond paper to a booklet of 5/32” thick.
The T-250 will process media at a speed up to 12,000 pieces per hour depending on the
skill of the operator, the length (depth) of the media and the type of material.
When the media is fed, a media sensor detects the lead edge of the media and starts a tab
feeding into position. The media contacts the tab and the exit roller presses the tab to the
media and carries the media out of the tabber. At the same time, the tab feed stops until
another piece of media is seen by the media sensor. The sensitivity of the tab sensor is
adjusted by the tab sensor adjustment on the rear of the tabber for different types of tabs.
