Stacker Adjustments

Adjust Material Hold-Downs

Operation
The material hold-downs consists of two rollers and two springs used to keep the media in contact with
the conveyor belts. They are adjusted by loosening the knob on each roller and spring and setting the
desired distance from the conveyor belt. Tighten the knobs when you are finished.
Refer to the Appendix for additional information if necessary on setting the height of these rollers.
Theory
The function of the large rollers is to provide drive and control of the mail piece as it transitions to the
stacking conveyor. The rollers
should be positioned in such a way that they retain the mail piece but do not come in contact with the
address zones. If positioned in the address zones, the rollers will cause smudging.
The function of the springs (retainers) is to control the mail piece as it lands on the stacking conveyor.
The general rule is that with thinner, slower moving mail pieces, the retainers should be positioned
close to the deck. In the case of thicker, faster moving mail pieces, the retainers should be positioned
higher off from the deck.
