.  Lower the back of the feed table onto the support bar.  

Note:  Installing the feed table 

requires the red retarder press against the black feed wheel.  This is normal and will not damage 
the unit.  Do not attempt to adjust red retarder to assist feed table installation.

2.3 Paper Guides 
Note:  The folder is preset and tested for a standard 8½” X 
11” letter fold. 

To adjust the paper 
guides, loosen the 
four thumbscrews 

(see figures #8 and #9) 

under the feed table 

and slide them outward.  Center a single sheet of paper under 
the feed wheel.  Slide the paper guides in so they are 1mm 
away from the sides of the paper, and tighten the thumbscrews 
into place.  The paper should be between the guides with a 
small amount of clearance to feed freely.  If necessary, adjust 
the angle of the paper guides slightly for straight feeding.  
Small locating holes are in the feed table to assist in paper 
guide placement 

(see figures #10 and #11)

.  For example, an 

8½” wide sheet of paper results in the outermost holes 
intersecting with the edges of the paper guides.  

NOTE:  Align 

locating holes on the 

outside

 edges of the paper guides

.  For 

odd widths of paper, these holes can be used as an aid in 
keeping the paper guides square with the folder.
