4.6 Feeding
Issues
4-14
IMPORTANT:
If you have a DA95F printer and are NOT using the standard feeder
(WF9S), this section (4.6 Feeding Issues) will NOT apply. This reason
for this is that the feed sensor on a non-standard feeder is not an in-
tegral part of the printer, and hence, will behave according to its own
characteristics. Consequently, please refer to the documentation sup-
plied with your external feeder for troubleshooting feeding issues.
Material (Media) Issues that Affect Feeding
• All mailpieces with loose contents should be tamped toward the lead
edge of the mailpiece before being fed into the printer. Otherwise, there
is chance that the two pieces may be fed at once and cause a jam.
• Material processed too many times (roughly more than three) by auto-
matic machinery (inserters, mailing machines, other printers, etc.) before
it reaches this printer may cause the material to get too glazed to be pro-
cessed properly by this printer.
• It is possible for material to wind up in the machine base cavity. When
this happens, you may encounter strange noises, blocked sensors, and
other symptoms not readily visible when you are troubleshooting the
printer.
