Pieces that have an open end toward the back or the front of the feeder are the most
difficult for friction feeders.
Due to the friction of the stack resting on the bottom piece along with the separator tip
on the top layer of the piece, the top layer(s) tend to want to "peel back" as the pieces are
fed.
EasyFeed’s separators are easily removed so that you can try one of the techniques
below to help with high friction pieces.
Picture 1 below shows the separator flag, the small piece of aluminum bolted to the side
of the separator tip. The purpose of this flag is to keep the paper from contacting the
urethane separator too much which would create a lot of friction on the paper. By
loosening the button head screw holding the flag in place, you can rotate the flag
downward, keeping the document away from the separator tip longer.
You can also try applying a piece of tape to the separator tip to lessen the friction
against your pieces as shown below.
Place tape on this portion of
the separator
Loosen the screw and rotate
the flag to adjust friction
