INTRODUCTION
The TB-390 conveyor is used to transport media away from the exit end of a printer or tabber
and deposit/stack the media into a drop-tray or against an optional back-stop. The stacked media
can then be removed, from the back-stop or drop catch tray, without the need to stop the printer
or tabber.
An optional dryer and dryer mounting kit can also be installed on the TB-390 conveyor to aid in
drying the images applied by an inkjet printer. See the section titled “Optional Accessories”.

UNPACK THE CONVEYOR
Please save the packaging for possible future use.
If you plan to discard the packaging; do so in an environmentally appropriate manner.
Do not discard the packaging until the conveyor is fully assembled.
POWER CONNECTION
IMPORTANT! The TB-390 is manufactured for use on a specific AC voltage source. Before
connecting the power cord to the conveyor; verify that you are connecting the unit to a
compatible AC voltage source. See the conveyor’s serial tag for the voltage rating of your unit.
1. Check to be sure the Power Switch, at the front
of the conveyor, is off (zero position).
2. Connect the supplied power cord to the “Power
In” receptacle on the conveyor. Plug the other
end of the power cord into a properly grounded
wall outlet.
TEST FOR APPROPRIATE TRANSPORT DIRECTION
The TB-390 can be configured to run from “right to left” or from “left to right”.
1. Turn on the Power Switch.
2. Turn up the speed control dial, so the transport belts are moving.
3. Make note of the direction of transport. Left to Right or Right to Left.
4. If the transport direction is not appropriate, for your application, it will need to be
reversed. See the section titled “Reverse Operation” before proceeding.
CAUTION
THE CONVEYOR IS DESIGNED TO BE PLUGGED INTO A GROUNDED
OUTLET. FOR YOUR SAFETY, DO NOT REMOVE THE GROUND PIN FROM
THE LINE CORD.

DROP-TRAY INSTALLATION
If you plan to install the optional dryer, please read the section titled “Dryer Mounting Kit
Instructions” before proceeding.
To assemble and install the Drop-Tray on the Conveyor follow these steps:
1. Disconnect the power cord from the unit.
2. If installed; remove the two screws holding the optional
back-stop to the conveyor and remove the back-stop.
See the “Optional Accessories” section, for more info on
the optional back-stop.
3. At the exit end of the conveyor; remove the four screws
[A] that mount the cover plate to the conveyor. Do not
remove the cover plate.
Note: The TB-390 can be configured to run from “right to left”
or from “left to right”. The exit end of the conveyor is
determined by the direction of the conveyor.
4. While holding the cover plate in place; install the Drop-
Tray Support Bracket [B], to the exit end of the conveyor,
using the four screws removed in Step 2.
5. Install the Paper Guide Roller assembly, to the exit end of
the conveyor, using the four screws supplied [C]. The
Paper Guide Roller assembly should be mounted as shown
with the rollers resting on the exit roller of the conveyor.

6. Hook the Tray Base into the desired slots on
the Drop-Tray Support Bracket. The Tray
Base position may be adjusted left or right,
depending on media exit position, and up or
down to provide more or less stack height.
7. Remove the knobs and securing plates from
the guides. Attach the guides to the Tray Base
as shown. The largest guide is the Paper Stop
Guide. The Paper Stop Guide is installed on
the slot that runs most of the length of the
Tray Base. The Wide Side Guide is installed
on either of the two slots at the side of the Tray Base (slot position determined by
media length). The Narrow Side Guide can be installed on any of the threaded holes
in the Tray Base (hole position determined by media size).
POSITIONING THE CONVEYOR
1. The conveyor should be placed at the exit end of the
printer or tabber, as shown.
When using the drop-tray, the conveyor must be
positioned so the drop-tray hangs off the end of the
table.
The work surface or table must be capable of
properly supporting the weight of the conveyor and
the printer or tabber.
2. Center the conveyor at the exit end of the printer or
tabber.

OPERATING THE CONVEYOR
1. Connect power to the conveyor. See the
section titled “Power Connection”.
2. Turn on the conveyor and the printer or
tabber.
3. Feed a single piece of stock through the
printer or tabber and onto the conveyor.
Observe the way it is received by the
conveyor.
4. Loosen the locking knob [A] and adjust the
position of the stacking wheel assembly so that
the lead edge of the media just touches the
stacking wheels, as it exits the printer or tabber.
5. Adjust the speed control knob to set the desired
conveyor transport speed.
Clockwise = Faster (bigger gap between pieces or
less overlap).
Counter-clockwise = Slower (smaller gap between
pieces or more overlap).
Note: When the optional back-stop is used; the speed of the conveyor must be set so that
adjacent pieces are overlapping each other.
When the standard drop-tray is used the media does not need to be overlapped.
REVERSE OPERATION
The TB-390 can be configured to run from “right to left”
or from “left to right”.
If the conveyor is not running in the desired direction, it
can be reconfigured as follows:
1. Disconnect the power cord from the conveyor.
2. Slide the position of the “transport direction
switch”, located under the conveyor, to the
opposite position.
3. Reconnect the power cord to the conveyor.
4. If necessary; move the guide roller assembly and the stacking tray (back-stop or drop-
tray) to the opposite end of the conveyor.

TROUBLESHOOTING
If the conveyor should fail to run, check for jammed paper between the belts and roller.
Also, check the fuses and motor circuit breaker. Replace fuses or reset breaker as necessary.
The fuse holders and circuit breaker are located on the rear of the conveyor.
WARNING
DISCONNECT THE POWER CORD WHEN CHECKING OR
REPLACING FUSE!
EVEN IF THE BREAKER OR ONE OF THE FUSES BLOWS; SOME
ITEMS ON/IN THE CONVEYOR WILL STILL HAVE POWER!
ALWAYS REPLACE THE FUSE WITH THE SAME TYPE. FAILURE TO
DO SO MAY DAMAGE THE ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT BOARD.
Fuse Ratings: 0.5 Amp x2, 250V, slow blow.
