Replacing The Sheet Separators - Rena Mach 8 Operation Manual

SECTION 7
MAINTENANCE

Replacing the Sheet Separators

The sheet separators (43-106-10) insure separation of the pieces as they are being fed. If you experience
double sheet feeding, and adjusting for Media Thickness (See Feed Setup) does not prevent this, it may be
time to 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.
CAUTION: Be careful that you don't drop the screws or separators into the printer during this process.
1. Turn OFF and unplug the Printer.
Power down the print engine, using the
ON/OFF button. Once the control panel
lights turn off it is safe to turn off the
Main Power Switch. Then unplug it
from the power source.
2. Open the Feed Roller Assembly.
Loosen the two thumbscrews [A] and
slide latches back [in direction of
arrows]. Then open the Feed Roller
Assembly [B].
3. Remove the locking screws on the
Separators [C] and remove the worn
Separators.
Tip: It may be easier and safer (less
chance of dropping screw into printer)
if you loosen the screw and remove the
screw and separator at the same time.
4. Install a new Separator and reinstall the
mounting screw. Repeat for each
Separator.
CAUTION: Don't over-tighten the screw or you may distort/damage the separator.
5. Close and secure the Feed Roller Assembly.
While holding the Feed Roller Assembly [B] closed, slide the latches forward (in opposite
direction of arrows) and then secure the thumbscrews [A].
6. Re-connect and Power-On the Printer.
Reconnect the power cord and Turn ON the Main Power Switch. Then press the ON/OFF button
on control panel to power-up the Print Engine.
