How do I load a sheet tray on the FP FPI 6100?

Sheet trays feed flat, unfolded material. It is important to loosen (fan) any items in the stack that may be stuck together before you place the material in the tray.

To load media into a sheet tray:

1. Using the side guide adjustor, open the sides of the tray wide enough to clear the width of the material.

2. Fan a small stack of material and place it into the tray in the orientation specified in the loading instructions on the Home screen.

3. Using the side guide adjustor, move the side guides in until they lightly touch the material on both sides. When you release the adjustor, the guides automatically spring back to a position that allows for proper clearance.

4. Lift the separator and load material into the tray.

NOTE: Do not load material above the maximum fill line in the tray.


How do I load sheets into the High Capacity Sheet Feeder (HCSF) on the FP FPI 6100?

1. After loosening the pages of the stack of sheets, turn the HCSF tray Side Guide Adjustor counterclockwise to open the Tray wide enough to accommodate the stack of sheets.

2. Load approximately 1-inch of material into the tray (in the orientation specified in the loading instructions on the Home screen). Green lights on the front panel of the HCSF indicate the material is loaded and the HCSF is operable.

3. Turn the feeder tray side guide adjustor clockwise until the side guides touch the material, and then back off slightly.

TIPS:

• For collations of 20 to 25 pieces, back off one full revolution (approximately .1″ / 2.5 mm) of the side guide adjustor.

• Turn clockwise to move in, counterclockwise to move out.

4. Load the remaining paper up to the fill line.

5. Repeat steps #2-5 for each remaining HCSF tray.

c. Release the length knob once the length guide is properly placed.

6. Set the width guides:

a. Turn the right-hand knob on the side of the sheet transport to move the width guides.

b. Move the width guides until they just make contact with the sides of the sheet, then back off slightly (approximately. 1/3 of a turn). The sheet should lay flat, and not buckle.

7. Close the front and top covers of the HCSF accumulation area.

8. Press CLEAR DECK to remove any material in the paper paths.

9. Repeat steps #3 – 8 to adjust the length and width guides until the sheet aligns properly.

10. Repeat the entire procedure for each additional HCSF on your system.
