CONTINUOUS FEEDER OPERATION
1.0 Loading the Continuous Feeder
Before loading the sheets, use the knobs (Figure 4-1) of
the side guide to set the side for the correct folding format
according to the scale on the feeder. Make certain that you
always maintain the required 8-12 mm gap between the
incoming sheets and the alignment ruler.
The deflector belts (5-1) that are wrapped around the
reversing drum operate independently of the loading and
outfeed tables. It will rarely be necessary to change the belt
position. Make certain that the belts are not placed on the
sheet edge (5-2). With the feeder running, use the lever to
move the deflector belts to their proper position.

The bottom table is equipped with a conveyor belt that is
wide enough to stretch across all usable formats. When you
change sheet formats, you must also adjust the lower side
rails.

When loading the feeder, make certain that the paper
stack does not exceed the maximum height of 3.00" or 8cm.
When feeding a new sheet stack, e.g. when
changing to a new sheet size, help the first
sheet along until it is taken up between the
reversing drum and the deflection belts.
This is done by pressing the stack down on
the middle conveyor belt while pushing the
stack forward at the same time until it is
securely held by the reversing drum and
the deflection belts.
The suction plate blower can be moved or
unscrewed for more convenient sheet
removal.
A movable feeder sensor switch (6-1) is located under the
sucker wheel (6-2). This tab is activated by the leading edge
of the sheet stream, thus providing fully automated control of
the sheet stack feed.
The position of the leading sheet edge at the switch tab
determines the speed at which the stack is advanced; there-
fore, the stack speed is automatically adjusted to any produc-
tion speed.
