Pitney Bowes User Guide October 2019 4

2. Place the media under the separators, then release the separators so that they rest on the media.
Lock the separators in position using the locking lever.
3. Adjust the side guides to within 1/32" (0.8 mm) of the media, then adjust the rear guide so that the
media is raised approximately 1/2" (12 mm). For heavy, thick media, this may not be required.
4. Adjust the exit roller pressure by pushing in on the pressure control lock button [A] and raising or
lowering the adjusting lever [B]. For plain paper or envelopes, place the lever in the down position.
For thicker material, adjust the lever so that the media is fed smoothly through the exit roller
assembly.
5. Turn the feeder on.
6. Feed one piece with the speed control set to low speed (1 or 2).
Pitney Bowes User Guide October 2019 5

7. Stop the feeder with the piece halfway through the exit by turning off the power switch.
8. Adjust the feed sensor so that it is pointed directly at the piece as it exits the feeder. The sensor
prevents double feeding in case of a jam or stoppage.
9. Set the AUTO/MANUAL switch to MANUAL.
10. Press the SINGLE feed button for single sheet feeding or the CONTINUOUS feed button for
continuous feeding.
11. Interface Connection: The feeder can also be controlled remotely. To have the feeder start
feeding from a remote signal, the signal must be wired through the INTERFACE connector on the
feeder. The AUTO/MANUAL switch must be set to AUTO.
Cleaning the Feeder
Warning! Feeder is a precision machine that should be cleaned regularly to insure
many years of service. Before performing any maintenance disconnect feeder from
its power source!
The feeder must be cleaned regularly of accumulated paper dust and ink. Depending on the types of
media that are run, paper dust may accumulate within the printer and on the transport. Always unplug the
feeder from the power receptacle and remove the covers.
lInternal areas are best cleaned with a vacuum with a soft brush attachment to help loosen dust
particles. Take care not to damage PC Boards or electrical wiring.
lExterior areas may be cleaned with any standard nonabrasive household cleaner.
Pitney Bowes User Guide October 2019 6

Caution: Never spray or pour cleaners directly on or into feeder. Excess liquid
could harm electronic parts. Always dampen a rag with the cleaner and apply it to
parts to be cleaned.
Cleaning the Sensors
Keep two the sensors on the feeder clean. Use a Q-tip to clean the sensors. Media sensor [A] is located
under the exit guide rollers. Jam sensor [B] is located on jam sensor support.
Caution: Do not use solvents or abrasives to clean sensors.
Replacing the Metering Segments (Sheet Separators)
Metering Segments (sheet separators) ensure separation of pieces as they are fed. They wear and must
be replaced periodically. If you experience double sheet feeding and cannot adjust the separators to
prevent it, replace them.
