Operation

Refer to the above figure for component locations.
1. Connect the power cord to the DL400 and into an AC supplied outlet.
NOTE: When you first connect the power cable, the Chip Bin Full indicator light will flash. This is
because the machine cannot determine if the chip bin is full and needs to be emptied. Open the
bin and empty the chips (if any). Removal and replacement of the Chip Bin resets the indicator. An
internal counter (not the one on the display) will count up to 3500 envelopes before flashing again to
inform you to empty the chip bin..
3. Select either the No Cut (counterclockwise) or Cut (clockwise) position on the Cut/No Cut
Selector Knob.
4. Set the cut depth lever to the left (deep cut) or right (shallow cut). The factory cut depth default
settings are .020" (deep) or .012" (shallow). However, the cut depth can be adjusted, as
described in Cutter Adjustment
5. Press the Counter Reset button to reset the counter (if desired).
6. Load a handful of mail (approximately 50 pieces) onto the Envelope Feed Hopper. Be sure to
justify the side of the mail to be cut against the back of the Feed Hopper. The Feed Thumper (a
rotating cam) helps to jog the mail for improved feeding.
7. Turn the On/Off power switch to the On position to start the machine.
8. The mail is singulated (separated one at a time) by the retard assembly.
9. The nip arm assembly guides the individual envelopes past the cutter and to the output bin.
10. Once the Envelope Feed Hopper is empty, empty the Output Bin.
11. To continue processing, repeat the above steps.
