Replacing The Sheet Separators - Rena MACH 5 Operator's Manual

Replacing the Sheet Separators

The sheet separators (90-103-09) insure separation of the pieces as they are being fed. If you experience
double sheet feeding and cannot adjust the separators to prevent this, replace the separators.
Replacing the sheet separators is not difficult; however if you don't feel confident about doing this
yourself; please contact your technical support person.
1. Turn OFF the printer. If the printer is on; press the ON/OFF button to power-down the print engine.
Wait about 45 seconds until the system shuts down (all control panel lights will go off), then turn
off the Main Power Switch.
WARNING! If this power-down process is not followed; ink color mixing and printhead nozzle
clogging may result.
2. Unplug the power cable from the printer.
3. To gain access to the separators; loosen the Side Guide Locking Knobs and move the both Media
Side Guides to their maximum outer positions.
4. Loosen the Separator Locking Screws, then raise and lock each sheet separator at its upper position.
5. Remove the screw [A] and the separator
cover [B]. Then remove the separator [C]
by gently prying it out of the holder. Repeat
for all four sheet separators.
NOTE: Be careful that you don't drop the
screws into the printer during this process.
6. Install a new separator. Install the separator
cover and secure with the screw. Repeat for
all four separators.
NOTE: Don't over-tighten the screw or you
will bend the separator cover.
7. Readjust the Sheet Separators and Media Side Guides to accommodate your media. Refer to the
section titled "Setting up the Feed" for details.
