ASSEMBLY
1. Install 2 swivel casters on each of the leg assemblies (Fig 1 item A). Secure casters with hex nuts.
2. To pre-adjust leg assemblies to proper length, measure the distance from the oor, to the exit surface of the delivery
device (i.e. printer). Loosen the black hand wheels (Fig 1 item B) and adjust leg assembly until overall length,
including casters, is about 7 inches less than the measurement you just obtained. Tighten hand wheels and repeat
procedure for other leg assembly.
3. With conveyor laying upside down, install leg assembly. Install two Allen screws to the outer edge of the conveyor
(Fig 2 item C) do not tighten all the way, leave enough space to slide the keyhole, in the top of the leg assembly,
into position (Fig 3 item D). Insert two screws into the two remaining holes, tighten when all screws are in position
(Fig 4). Allen screws are provided in accessory bag.
Assembly Tip (Fig 4): If you have trouble aligning the screw holes in the leg assemblies with the conveyor holes;
loosen the 10 Phillips head screws that secure the bottom plate (Fig 4), to allow the conveyor side frames to ex.
When nished securing leg assemblies to conveyor, be sure to re-tighten these 10 Phillips head screws.
4. With the legs securely fastened, carefully turn conveyor upright. Note: If conveyor operation direction needs to be
changed, do so before turning upright - see Control Panel Module Optional Adjustment Pg 3.
CAUTION! Two (2) people are required for lifting and turning conveyor.
To help align holes, when attaching leg
assemblies, loosen screws that secure
bottom plate.

Control Panel Module (Optional adjustment)
If the direction of conveyor needs to be changed, a simple adjustment to the control panel module can be made while
the conveyor is in the upside down position.
1. Remove the four Phillips head screws that hold the control panel module in place (Fig 5 items A).
2. Rotate the control panel 180 degrees counterclockwise and reattach with the four screws. No electrical connection
adjustments are needed.
3. With the legs securely fastened and control panel module mounted properly, carefully turn conveyor upright.
CAUTION! Two (2) people are required for lifting and turning conveyor.

2. Mount envelope knockdown assembly onto the in-feed of the conveyor (Fig 7 item D) using 6 each white Phillips
head machine screws provided in accessory bag. NOTE: The suction fans are located at the in-feed of the
conveyor. Loosen knockdown post thumb screw (Fig 6 item B) and rotate post 90 degrees into an upright position
(Fig 7).
3. Mount the outfeed bracket (Fig 7 item E) to the opposite end of the conveyor using the 4 white phillips head
machine screws. Do not completely tighten screws. Continue to step 4 for bracket adjustment.

4. CAUTION! This adjustment is necessary to avoid belt damage and eliminate a potential pinch point for safety.
Insert supplied card stock spacer (Fig 8a item A) between the belt and the out-feed bracket to set the spacing
between the bracket and the belt. Move the bracket in or out until a slight drag is felt on the card stock (Fig 8b
item B) and then tighten mounting screws (Fig 8c) . Remove card stock spacer and rotate belt and roller by hand
(Fig 8d) to ensure clearance at all points on the roller and belt. Readjust if belt contacts bracket.

5. Mount the side rails to either side of the conveyor with 6 each white Phillips head machine screws provided in
accessory bag. The taller side goes on the out-feed end (Fig 9 items A & B). Note: If the optional D1000 1K dryer
is going to be attached leave the side rail screws loose for mounting the dryer.

6. Install threaded end of envelope knock down
rod (Fig 10 item B) into hole of envelope knock
down post (Fig 10 item C). Install 1 white Phillips
head screw through post and into threaded
rod. Install envelope knock down guide (Fig 10
item A) onto rod, as shown (Fig 10), and secure
using thumb screw.
Warning! Be sure the bottom of the envelope
knock down guide does not rub against the belt
or damage to the belt may result.
7. Install exit wheel assembly (Fig 11 item A)
between rails of conveyor; align with mounting
holes and secure in place with 2 black
thumbscrews provided. The wheels can be
repositioned anywhere along the rod to meet
your specic needs.

11. Attach the mounting bracket (Fig 13 item A) to the conveyor. This bracket is used to secure the conveyor to the
table that the delivery device (i.e. printer) sits on. See mounting details supplied with the bracket. Do not attach
bracket to table until correct conveyor height has been determined (see page 9).

with mounting slots in high or low position (Fig 14b item B) and secure in place with the 4 white Phillips head
screws supplied. Note: Mounting rods, screws and electric components supplied in dryer box.
4. Connect the dryer’s power cord to the receptacle on the back of the dryer (Fig 15a item C) and on the back of the
control panel module (Fig 15b item D). Note: The dryer receptacle is marked on the back of the control panel
module.
CAUTION! Do NOT connect dryer to a separate power source or dryer damage may result. Connect dryer power
cord only to outlet on conveyor, as shown below.

1. Place completed conveyor assembly behind delivery device (i.e. printer) with fans centered on exit end of delivery
device. Attach conveyor mounting bracket to table that the device is sitting on for stability using lag bolts provided,
see mounting details supplied with bracket.
2. The top of the front guide rail (Fig 16a item A), should be positioned about 1 inch below the exit surface of the
delivery device (i.e. printer). If height adjustment is necessary, have another person support the weight of the
conveyor while you carefully loosen the black hand wheels (Fig 1 item B) and adjust the height of the conveyor leg
assemblies. Retighten to secure in place.
CAUTION! Be careful when performing this procedure. The conveyor is heavy and can cause injury if not properly
supported.
SETUP & OPERATION
A
Fig 16a - Right angle printer setup Fig 16b - Optional straight-on printer setup
Optional Slide Bar for slow printing speed
If the printer is set at a slow speed, the slide bar (Fig 17a item A) may be needed to feed the envelope onto the
conveyor. Set the slide bar so that the top 1/4 of the envelope rides on the bar (Fig 17b item B). The envelope should
slide across the bar, hit the deector and land on the conveyor in the correct position. To ne tune, move the slide bar
backwards or forwards and adjust the conveyor speed.

3. Connect conveyor power cord to a grounded 105/120 VAC, 50/60 Hz electrical source.
4. Set up delivery device (i.e. printer) for desired media.
5. The setup of the conveyor (which includes drop tray height, stop plate position, envelope knock down position, belt
speed, and fan combination) is in direct relation to type, size and speed of media being delivered to the conveyor.
Send a test piece of media through delivery device (i.e. printer) to adjust proper distance of envelope knockdown
guide away from exit end of delivery device.
Start (power on) conveyor. Send a few test pieces of media through delivery device. Set conveyor belt speed to
obtain desired gap between pieces of media. Fans can be used to control media movement once it drops onto the
conveyor belt. Set fan controls as desired.
Note: At very low conveyor transport speed settings the transport belt may stall easily, especially when the fans
and/or dryer are being used. Increase the transport speed setting to prevent this condition.
