Introduction

The SureStak Power Stacker is a factory-installed option that augments the
paper feed system of cabinet model printers. It is designed to work with forms
5 to 12 inches long (12.7 to 30.5 cm) and up to 16 inches (41 cm) wide without
the paper tent installed or up to 15.5 inches (39.5 cm) wide with the paper tent
installed. (See Figure 1.) Using longer or shorter paper can cause error
messages and unpredictable operation of the stacker.
Because most of the stacker assembly is inside the cabinet, you must remove
the stacker from the printer to service it or replace most of its components.

Stacker Operation

The power stacker mechanically directs the paper from the printer to the
paper stack. It is mounted in the rear of the cabinet and has its own control
panel. Its main components are shown in Figure 1.
