Sheet feed rates up to approx. 400 sheets/min may be achieved. However high sheet feed rates are dependent on:

• The top of each feeder pile must be flat and level within 10mm (no excessive toner, ink or NCR build-up on any part of the sheet)
  • Note: This may reduce the maximum pile height in the feeder as smaller piles may have to be used to keep the top flat
• The sheets in each pile feeder must all be the same size and to ensure reliable feed the trailing edge of the sheets in the pile must be registered together within 0.5mm variation
•  The sheets and covers must be free of static charge (steps must be taken to reduce static charge applied in the upstream printing equipment)
• The sheets must not have been processed in a way that causes them to stick together
