Introduction
The Pregis Quantum Series includes the Quantum XT and Quantum XTW systems. Each system
dispenses recycled paper void fill both on demand and at predetermined lengths, as needed.
These user-friendly systems save storage space and reduce packaging material waste while
providing unmatched safety, reliability and enhanced ergonomic features that increase
operator productivity.

General Safety
Operator safety and the safety of others in the work area depend on the operator using good
judgment and reasonable care while utilizing the machine. This user manual and the warning
labels affixed to the machine provide notification of specific potential hazards.
The following instructions are only a guideline and should be considered a supplement to your
plant’s comprehensive safety program. Your business’ policy supersedes these guidelines if at
any time the two contradict each other. Please read and understand the manual including all of
the danger, warnings, and caution statements. If after reading the manual you have questions,
contact your supervisor or your Pregis service technician to get answers before working with
the machine.
1. Only authorized personnel may use the equipment.
2. Only trained authorized persons will carry out any adjustments, repairs, maintenance or
cleaning with the equipment isolated from power supply and no longer in motion.
3. Never deface or remove factory installed warning decals. If a decal ever becomes lost,
damaged, or illegible, report this condition to a supervisor and obtain a replacement decal
from Pregis.
4. Keep the work area clean and uncluttered. Walking surfaces should always be free of
packing material and debris to prevent a slipping or tripping hazard.
5. Ensure that all covers, guards and other safety devices are in place. NEVER defeat a safety
device for any reason.
6. Follow the recommended procedures in this manual.
7. Never leave the equipment unattended while operating. Shut the machine off if you must
leave the work area.
8. Keep body parts and clothing away from moving components. NEVER reach into the
machine for any reason while it is in motion.
9. Understand proper material path and safe loading procedures.
10. Understand which adjustments are operator adjustments; contact maintenance person
for all other adjustments.
11. DO NOT operate equipment if you are under the influence of alcohol, drugs or
medications that can make you less alert or affect your judgment.

Understanding the Controls
The Power Switch for the Quantum Series is used to turn the electrical power “ON” or “OFF” and is
located on the right side of the head assembly, next to the power inlet.
When operating the Quantum Series, the most commonly used component is the foot pedal
(may need to extend head to insert foot pedal using the telescoping function). Its functions
include:
•Starting and stopping the machine (i.e. dispensing material)
•Reset for Powered Tear Assist (PTA), Feed to Length (FTL), Auto-Feed to Length (A-FTL) functions
•Override for all modes of operation

Operation
1. DO NOT attempt to defeat any safety feature.
2. DO NOT place any part of your person or foreign object into the drive.
3. Keep clear of all pinch points while machine is running.
4. DO NOT operate the machine if any part of your body becomes fatigued.
5. DO NOT operate the machine if you are under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medications
that can make you less alert or affect your judgment.
Operating Modes:
•Manual Mode
•Manual Feed-to-Length (FTL) Mode
•Auto Feed-to-Length (A-FTL) Mode
It is important to note, all modes share certain features, which are detailed below:
Manual Mode:
The manual setting allows the operator to dispense material using the foot pedal only. In this
mode, machine speed can be adjusted to user preference as needed.

7
Manual Feed-to-Length (FTL) Mode
The manual feed-to-length (FTL) setting allows the operator to dispense a preset length of
material by activating the foot pedal briefly (i.e. “tapping” the foot pedal). Once the foot pedal
is “tapped” (activated briefly) the machine will dispense a preset length of material. The
operator must repeat the process to receive additional, preset lengths of material. In this mode,
the foot pedal also acts as an override. To receive a length of material greater than the preset
length, press and hold the foot pedal until the desired length is received. The preset length can
be adjusted (using the add/subtract buttons on head assembly) as needed.
Preset Lengths
There are 10 preset length settings. As you press the length control (add/subtract) button, the
machine will dispense a length of material equivalent to one 360 degree revolution of the drive
roller (approximately 9 inches of material). The length setting “1” defaults to 2 revolutions.
Each increase in length adds one additional revolution (up to 11 revolutions).

8
Auto Feed-to-Length (A-FTL) Mode
The auto feed-to-length (A-FTL) setting allows the operator to dispense a preset length of
material. Once the powered tear assist feature is activated (see Powered Tear Assist section),
the machine will automatically dispense another preset length of material (same as previous).
This process will continue as long as the feature is active. The foot pedal also acts as an override
in this mode. To receive a length of material greater than the preset length, press and hold the
foot pedal until the desired length is received. The preset length can be adjusted (using the
add/subtract buttons on head assembly) as needed.
Preset Lengths:
There are 10 preset length settings. As you press the length control (add/subtract) button (As
mentioned above, the A-FTL feature defaults to the shortest preset length (2 revolutions)),
the machine will dispense a length of material equivalent to one 360 degree revolution of the
drive roller (approximately 9 inches of material). The length setting “1” defaults to 2
revolutions. Each increase in length adds one additional revolution (up to 11 revolutions).

9
Powered Tear Assist (PTA)
The powered tear assist (PTA) feature was designed to reduce the amount of force it takes to
tear the void fill material. Once material has been dispensed, the powered tear assist feature
becomes active. To use this feature, simply pull the void fill material against the tear assist in a
downward motion as shown below. The tear assist will pivot downward (slightly), which
activates an internal switch. Once the switch is activated, the machine will rotate the motor in
reverse, pulling the material against the tear assist, which tears the material. Note: This feature
remains active for one cycle. To repeat the function, simply press the foot pedal.

10
Quantum XT Loading (Pull from Center Paper)
2. Pull out the overlapped material
(roll core) and either unroll or tear off
the material (save for later use).
4. Insert the paper over the breaker bar (if
equipped), through the inlet, and below the
upper-roller assembly. Position the material
forward of the drive rollers and above the tear
assist.
1. Place a roll of Quantum paper into
the roll cradle
3. Lift the upper-roller assembly.
5. With paper through the roller and over
the tear-assist, lower the upper-roller
assembly.

2. Check power cord. Make sure it is plugged in correctly to a good, known power source.
3. Verify power switch is in the “On” (I) position.
Problem: Machine is powered on but will not run.
Cause: Head assembly cables/foot pedal cable not connected properly.
Solution: Verify cable connections.
