OPERATING THE TABBER
Media Supports and Media Side Guide Adjustment
1. Position the media on the Media
Supports approximately where
you wish to position the tab.
2. Place one sheet of media on the
Media Supports so that it is
resting against the Separator
Fingers.
3. Reposition the Media Supports
and Stack Rests as required to
support the media.
4. Position the Side Guides so that
they are approximately 1/16” from each side of the media.
Media Transport Test
Take the time to verify proper media transport before trying to tab. If the media
doesn’t feed correctly, it will not be tabbed correctly.
Proper Media Transport:
ƒ One piece of media is fed at a time.
ƒ A small gap of at least 0.25” is generated between each piece of media.
ƒ Media is feeding straight.
1. Start by placing one piece of media into the hopper, so it is against or just feeding
under the separators.
2. Place a handful of media on top of the piece already in the hopper.
NOTE: When placing material on the Media Support ensure that it is shingled.
3. Make sure the Tab Switch is “off” (not illuminated), then press the Feed button to
start feeding.
If you have a problem feeding, check the following:
Feeding
Doubles Reduce the distance between the separator fingers and the feed roller.
Not Feeding Increase the distance between the media side guides and the media.
Increase the distance between the separator fingers and the feed roller.
Heavy
Material When setting the metering bracket, place 1-1/2 times the material
between the separator fingers and the feed roller.
Skewing Place the media side guides closer to the edges of the media.
Check/adjust the metering bracket.
4. Once the Media is feeding satisfactory, go to the next step.
