LaserMatrix Floor Model Stacker LB0-K SETUP SETUP SETUP SETUP For a Short Stack of Paper (or Labels) — You’re all set. Use the paper stacker as shown in the previous illustration. Continue with “Operation,” Page 20.

LaserMatrix Floor Model Stacker For a Tall Stack of Narrow Paper (or Labels) — An auxiliary paper guide is provided to help control tall stacks of paper or labels. To install, slip auxiliary paper guide into paper stacker channels so that it rests on top of paper stack support. Position the auxiliary paper guide so that the distance between the two sheet metal paper guides is in.

LaserMatrix Floor Model Stacker For a Full Box of Full Width Paper — Fanfold paper tends to curl at the bottom and top perforation folds. A wedge is supplied to counter this curl so that the paper stacks evenly. The flexible platform attached to the wedge allows the refolding coils to capture the first few sheets of paper, which would otherwise miss the coils because of the wedge.
LaserMatrix Floor Model Stacker To install the wedge and auxiliary paper guide — Snap wedge onto wireform of paper stacker. It’s easiest if you snap in one side first and then slightly compress the wedge to fit the other side. Push the wedge against the main paper guide.

LaserMatrix Floor Model Stacker LB0-M1 At output of printer, make sure that paper feeds through paper chute and then close the bail. Again, use the printer’s control panel to advance the paper. Continue until out-fold perf with mark is at bottom of stacker.
Page 25
LaserMatrix Floor Model Stacker Adjust paper stacker, if necessary, so that paper falls in a straight cascade from the paper chute to bottom of stacker. The paper should be centered between the two pairs of coils. Stacking works best if the paper stack is started about in.
Page 26
LaserMatrix Floor Model Stacker NOTE: Starting the stack in. from the guides is important if you plan on a tall stack, and especially when using lower-quality paper. The perfs of some fanfolded paper are not always squared well with each other and so, as the stack grows, it may tend to lean a little.
LaserMatrix Floor Model Stacker After removing the stack of paper, don’t forget to release the coils so that they’re ready for the next job. The LaserMatrix Floor Model Stacker will hold more than the tallest box of continuous form paper. If you happen to overfill the stacker with paper from more than one box, the coils will compress at the top of their risers.
Check that the paper is not being refolded in the wrong way. It should stack on the stacker like it was in the box. Use a better grade of paper. See Pages 27 and 28 for ordering paper from Output Technology.
