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.
When in this position, the separators push down on the envelope as it is advanced from the bottom of the stack, forming
a downward 'buckle' in the envelope between feed belts.
This method is simple, effective, easy to set up and does not require a lot of fine tuning. The downward buckle breaks
the friction 'bond' between the bottom envelope and the stack, making it easier to pull the bottom envelope away.
This method of separation also reduces jams because with the separators pushing down on the envelope between,
rather than on top of, the feed belts, there is not a 'pinch point' created.
The EPP Envelope Feeder comes with two buckle separator assemblies. Most jobs only require the use of one
separator so we recommend trying a single one in the middle first as shown here:

(positioned between belts)
If you are not getting consistent results after some time and adjustments, you may wish to try two separators as
shown here:
Note that in both examples above, the separators are positioned between belts.
