Slide the piece of media back and forth under the gate assembly while turning the gate height adjustment knob until there is light drag from the belt/gate on the media.

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.
