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. Supports the weight of the stack so that not all of the weight is on the belts.
2. Tilts the back end of the media stack up so the lead edge presses against the belts.
3. (most important) While the bottom envelope is getting pulled away from the stack by the feed belts, the
back wedge holds the other envelopes off the belts so they don't advance too closely after the first one.
Step 1. After setting the separator as shown in the
previous steps, leave one envelope in the
feeder, that you used for the separator setup.

Step 3. Place the stack in the hopper on top of the
envelope left on the belts from the separator
setup. Try to 'nudge' the envelopes a bit from the
back to help the stack conform to the curvature
of the paper guides at the bottom.

Step 2. carefully shingle out a small stack of envelopes so
that the bottom one will be the foremost envelope
in the stack as shown here.
