The goal of this step is to get one piece of media to pass under the opening in the feeder (gate) with light drag/friction on the media. Select one piece of media and slip under the gate assembly. - Locate the knob on the top of the feeder labeled with `Lower' and a rotational arrow. This is the height adjustment knob for the gate. [. . . ] The opening of the feeder is now ready for the initial feed test. - Next Step: Loading the `pre-shingled' stack into the feeder guides ______________________________________________________________________________________ Pro900DP Set-Up and Print Overview 4 1. 3 Feeder Side Guide Adjustment Note: For this step, the feeder should be in the Powered-Off state.

Next Step: Setting the wedge to support media stacking ______________________________________________________________________________________ Pro900DP Set-Up and Print Overview 5 1. 4 Initial Wedge Set-up Note: For this step, the feeder should be in the Powered-Off state. The purpose of the wedge is to · keep the bottom sheets in the media stack `shingled' · redistribute the weight of the media stack · push the lower end of the stack against the gate assembly, so that media can be separated. Loosen the wedge adjustment knobs. - Make sure the 2" stack of `pre-shingled' media is inserted into the hopper between the feeder side guides, and set firmly against the gate assembly. Slide the wedge until the bottom sheet of media is against the belt/deck plate, and the rear ¼" edge of the sheet, is just on the sloped surface of the wedge. Tighten the wedge adjustment knobs to lock in place. - ______________________________________________________________________________________ Pro900DP Set-Up and Print Overview 6 - Once the wedge is set-up, the 2" stack of media can remain in place for the initial feed test. Information for Initial Feed Test: · If the wedge is too far back, there will be a greater tendency to double feed media. · If the wedge is too far forward there will be a tendency to not feed. Next Step: Pre-setting the side guides (discharge area) ______________________________________________________________________________________ Pro900DP Set-Up and Print Overview 7 1. 5 Pre-setting the Side Guides (Discharge area) Note: For this step, the feeder should be in the Powered-Off state. The area between the media hopper/gate area and the printer is considered the discharge area. · Color and resolution adjustments The Basic Tab Set-up After choosing the correct page size, ensure the following are selected in the Basic tab of the driver. o Page Source ­ should be set to Multi-purpose Tray. o Output Bin ­ should be set to Stacker (Face-up). o Collate ­ generally, this should be set to `No', and should always be set this way for a single image printed many times. ______________________________________________________________________________________ Pro900DP Set-Up and Print Overview 11 The Paper Source Tab Set-up In the Paper Source tab. Select the Media Type that most closely matches the media being used. · Bond paper · Card Stock · Glossy Finish · Labels · etc. After choosing Media Type in the Paper Source tab, ensure the following are selected. o Auto Tray Switch ­ this should be set to `Off' so that when media from the feeder is empty the printer does not attempt to pick pages from the other media trays. o Media Check ­ this should be set to `Off' so the system does not continuously validate the thickness and attempt to adjust temperature (this can slow printing considerably, depending on the type of printing) o Media Weight ­ please refer to next section (3. 2) for specifics on the media weight settings. Note: The Basic tab can be set-up (using the `Customization' button) to keep all the most used settings for the pro900DP in one place.
