Setting Up The Feed - Astro Machine ASTROJET 2600P Service Manual

Setting up the Feed

1. Release the separator-locking lever located on the
operator's side of the feeder, raise the separators to
the up, and locked position. Move the side guides
out to their extreme open position. Place one piece
of media in the center of the feed table.
2. There are four separators on the feeder. Use the
two center separators for narrow media and all four
separators for wide media. Place the media under
the separators and lower the separators so that they
rest on the media.
3. Rotate the locking lever up to lock the separators
in place.
4. Loosen the knobs on the side guides. Adjust the
side guides to within 1/32-inch of the media. Then
tighten the knobs.
5. Adjust the back guide so that the media is raised
approximately 1/2-inch and rests on the curve of
the back guide. When running 10 inch or longer or
heavy media you may have to set the back guide so
that it just touches the back of the media.
6. Feed a piece of media through the printer and
adjust the two exit guides so that they ride on the
media. To prevent smearing, make sure that the
exit guides do not track over any printed
information
7. Turn the AstroJet 2600P/2650P/2800P on and then
turn the media thickness knob to set the initial print
head height as follows:
Media Thickness
.004" to 1/32"
1/32" to 1/8"
1/8" to 5/16"
