Setting Up A Job - Pitney Bowes DA300 Operating Manual

Basics
Setting Up A
Job
3-4
Setting up a print job means adjusting the printer to accommo-
date the width, height, thickness and weight of your material.
There are two things that determine how reliably your printer
feeds: the setup adjustments and the quality of your material. A
good setup minimizes misfeeds and jams. And your printer will
perform at its best when you run material that falls within our
published specifications. Please see Appendix B for complete
material specifications.
The figure on the next page calls out key machine features and
briefly summarizes each adjustment. In the pages that follow, we
explain each adjustment in detail.
1. H-Block Separators
Adjust to the thickness of your material. The gap between the H-
Block separator fingers and the feed rollers should be just enough
to allow a single piece to feed through the printer.
2. Input Area
Where you stack material for printing. You'll make most setup
adjustments in this general area.
3. Interface Panel (Not Shown)
Located on the lower part of the rear cover, the panel has the ON/
OFF switch, parallel cable connector and power cord receptacle.
4. Wire Frame
Supports the material stack. Adjust the feed angle to accommo-
date the weight of the material you're running. Adjust its side-to-
side position so it's centred under the stack.
5. Material Prop and Lock Knob
The prop adds a gentle slope to the stack to help feeding. Adjust
so the top of the prop is even with the top of the stack. Secure the
prop with the lock knob.
6. Wireframe Slide
Slides the wireframe side to side. Lock in position with the lock
lever (Item7).
7. Wireframe Slide Lock Lever (Not Shown)
Locks the wireframe slide in position.
