The Cover Feeder can be operated in two modes. It is
possible to select two Operating modes. In this section
we will explain the modes and how they are selected.

The Online mode is selected on a unit, that is to operate
together with a copier as an on-line system.
The Online mode is set by pressing the Online/Offline button
on the Control panel, and is shown by the Online indicator-
LED.
2. Offline mode
The Offline mode is selected to run booklets without covers.
The Offline mode is set by pressing the Online/Offline button

LED.
3.2 The Operating modes
The two Operating modes are:
1. Single sheet mode

button. It is possible to run the Cover Feeder and the Booklet
maker without the copier. The Cover Feeder will automatically
feed one sheet at a time to the Booklet maker.
2. Copier cover mode
When selecting this mode by pressing the Operating select
button. It is possible to run the Cover Feeder together with the
Booklet maker and the copier as an on-line system. The

until there is no clearance.

5. Maintenance
5.1 Cleaning feed rollers and paper separator pad
The Feed rollers need to be cleaned if the unit has not been
used for a period of time, and cleaned regularly when in use.
How often this should be done, depends on paper type and
print quality.
An increasing number of missfeeds is one indication of the
need to clean.
1 Remove the feed roller assembly by pressing it to the
right side. The left end of the feed roller assembly will
now be released and the assembly can be removed.
2 Clean the Feed rollers and the Paper separator pad
with rubber reactivator fluid.
