  • Page 18: Setting The Automatic Feeder

    SETTING THE AUTOMATIC FEEDER For efficient Auto-feeding, the setting of the feed wheels is very important. Use a piece of the stock to be run as a “feeler gauge”. Place a sheet under the feed wheels, turn the feed wheel adjustment screw (counterclockwise to raise, clockwise to lower) so that the paper can slip freely under the wheels.
