Page 13: Setting The Envelope (Buckle) Separator(S)
3.2. Setting the Envelope (Buckle) Separators(s) The colorSplash EPP Envelope Feeder utilizes a patented technique for separating the bottom envelope from the stack called 'buckle separation'. This unique method separates the envelopes by buckling them downward between feed belts. This results in simple sheet separation and minimizes envelope scuffing and paper jams. You will notice in the following instructions that the separator(s) are positioned between the feed belts, not over them. - Page 14 3.2 Setting the Envelope Separator(s) (continued) Step 1. If using a single separator (recommended), ensure that the buckle separator is positioned in the gap between the two center feed belts. Step 2. Rotate the separator height adjustment knob clockwise several turns to raise the separator tip up above the level of the feed belts.
- Page 15 Step 5. continue to slowly lower the separator tip until the envelope is buckled downward between the belts slightly (approx 2mm (1/16") to 3mm (1/8"). Lower the separator tip to 'buckle' the envelope down between belts NOTE: Ensure that the separator tip is between feed belts so it does not 'pinch' the envelope. Step 6.

3.3. Setting up the Back Wedge The back wedge, attached to the rear plate of the feed hopper is a very important tool that must be set properly to obtain the best results. 3.3.1. Purpose of the Back Wedge The back wedge performs several important functions: 1. - Page 17 Step 4. With one hand, raise the back end of the envelope stack up and then slide the back wedge into position underneath the back end of the stack. Lock the wedge in place with the locking knob. as shown in the pictures above and left, the back wedge should be in just far enough to hold the back edge of the envelope stack up off the belts.

Page 18: Setting The Back Wedge For Large Envelopes
3.3.3. Setting the Back Wedge for large envelopes In addition to setting the paper guides properly for large envelopes, the back wedge will need to be adjusted. For larger (longer) envelopes, you will need to move the back wedge further away from the bridge. Back wedge locking knob Larger (longer) envelopes have a tendency to 'sag' downward in the middle, which can cause double feeding or inconsistent gaps between envelopes. -

3.4. Setting the acceleration table Paper Guides The patented 'floating' or tilting delivery table on the colorSplash EPP envelope feeder is designed to advance the envelopes that the feed belts deliver, one at a time, into the printer’s manual feed tray feed roller. The acceleration table is equipped with self centering paper guides, an envelope drive belt and a stop photo sensor at the end. - Page 20 Step 3. Set the speed control knob on the control panel to approximately 20% to test the feeder. Step 4. With the green feed switch in the off position, turn on the feeder power with the red power switch. Step 5. Move the green feed switch to the 'resume feeding' position to start the feeder.

5.3. Setting the Feeder’s speed control Step 9. Set the speed control on the feeder to approximately 50 to 60% of maximum if you are running standard size envelopes. For larger envelopes, set the speed control to approximately 80 to 100%. 5.4. -
Page 25: Paper Jam Or Feeder Out Condition
IMPORTANT NOTES: The printer will only recognize that the feeder is ready if the envelopes have been advanced down the acceleration table (Stopping at the STOP Optical Sensor) AND the “Feeder Ready” lever has been pushed forward. If you want to pause printing, simply move the 'Feeder Ready Lever' back (right) and the printer will consider this an envelope out condition, similar to taking paper out of the paper tray. -
