carrier strips.
a. Align top of check form with top of tractor - insert left check carrier strip
into feeder pins and close tractor cover. (See Figure 7).
b. GENTLY pull tractor to the left to eliminate any sagging of the forms - -
- forms must be taut between the tractors. Lock the left tractor in place
by pushing down on the locking lever. (See Figure 8).
NOTE:
Continuous forms of some manufacturers may vary in width from

tractor pins AND that the paper is taut between the tractors.

all signed - there is no STOP button. The Model EDP1000 can be stopped
for stacking by the power switch.
1. Make sure that the checks are stacking properly at the rear of the
machine. The first check should be pointing toward the rear of the
machine. If not, manually refold the checks along the natural fold lines.
Place the stack of refolded checks about 6" from the rear of the
machine.

H. INKING SYSTEM
Your Continuous Form Signer is equipped with an ink roll that will sign up to
150,000 signatures, depending upon age and usage. The ink roll is located inside
the top cover.
CAUTION: Do Not touch ink roll.
1. INK ROLL PRESSURE
The ink roll must not place too much pressure on the signature plates.
Adjust the ink roll to just "kiss" the signature plates but with enough
pressure for a good printed impression. Ink roll pressure is adjusted by
turning the RED adjustment knob located at the rear of the form signer
(See Figure 9). Turning this knob to the right DECREASES ink roll
pressure - a lighter signature imprint. Turning the knob to the left
INCREASES ink roll pressure - a darker signature imprint.
