Paper Skew with Vacuum Feeder RT5100

Cause

Measures to correct paper skew at the main machine are not as effective with thick paper (Thk = 5 and thicker) fed from the Vacuum Feeder RT5100, causing images to be cut off at either end.

Solution

You can take the following measures to correct skew in this case.

• If only one Vacuum Feeder is attached to the side of the main machine, you can insert a shim behind the connection bracket to correct the problem.
• If more than one Vacuum Feeder is in the line, you can insert a shim behind the connection bracket of the feeder before feeder where the skew occurs to correct the problem.
• Each skew correction shim is 1.0 mm thick. Inserting one shim is equivalent to about 0.25 mm/100 mm of correction in paper skew.
