Feeder Interface:
The XPS-ProMail System provides a “dry contact” output to control feeder start/stop.
Closed = start; Open = stop
The feeder interface cable (25E-500-201), included with the XPS-ProMail system, will
accommodate the following system configurations:

* cable included with XPS-ProMail 3.0/4.0
CAUTION!
These cables can NOT be used with the EasyFeed Lite or AF500 feeder models.
Using these cables with inappropriate feeders will cause damage to the system.
See the “XPS-ProMail Connection Diagrams” or “XPS-ProMail Installation Guide”, for feeder
cable connection details.
See the feeder’s operations manual for additional feeder interface details.
Feeder Activation Control Conditions:
The feeder control signal will only be activated (closed) if all of the following are in-place:
- Master Power to XPS-ProMail Base is ON (green button illuminated).
- All the Power Switches (Transport, Dryer, Conveyor), on the XPS-ProMail Base, are ON.
Note: Even if the XPS-ProDry 8.0 and or TB-659 conveyor are not installed, the
corresponding power switches must be set to ON to complete the feeder control circuit.
- XPS-ProMail 3.0/4.0 printer must be calling for media (displaying press “ENTER to
STOP FEED”).
- If an XPS-ProTab 4.0 is not part of the sys tem; then the jumper plug, on the feeder interface
cable (Part # 25E-500-201), must be installed.
- If an XP-ProTab 4.0 is also installed, as part of the system; the tabber must be on and
calling for material (run key pressed), to complete the feeder control circuit.
Speed Control:
The feeder interface does NOT control the feeder’s speed. The operator must manually adjust
the speed of the feeder so that it is slower than the system it is feeding media into. A gap of
approximately 1 inch or more should be present, between each piece of media as it feeds under
the print units. If the speed of the feeder is set too fast, media will over-lap as it feeds and cause
jams in the system.
