SETTING THE SEPARATORS
Your new feeder uses a unique technique for separating the bottom piece from your stack of
media called Bow Separation™. This technique eliminates the high friction "nip" point common
on other feeders. With Bow Separation™ EasyFeed separates with very little friction meaning
you can successfully feed many hard to feed products with minimal jamming or tearing of your
media. Even stuffed envelopes with varied thicknesses can be fed from a single stack!
It is important to understand the proper method for setting the Bow Separators™ to take
advantage of this unique feature. There is no exact position to set the separators, and
EasyFeed gives you the ability to move each separator independently both laterally and
vertically. A little experimentation is necessary and helpful to achieve the best results for
different media types and sizes
IMPORTANT: The separators are designed to be positioned BETWEEN feed belts. On
thin stock, try to position the feed belts within ¼" of each side of a separator. This will
give a pronounced "bow" to reduce doubles.
STEP 1. On the bridge, loosen the locking knob on the front of the separator(s) and slide
each separator into position between two feed belts. Lock in place securely.
NOTE: When running wide stock (over 5" wide) you will likely be using two separators and at
least three wide feed belts. When running narrow stock, you will be using only two wide belts
and a single separator, positioned between them.
STEP 2. Raise each separator tip a few turns by turning the top knob clockwise.
