Envelope Feeder
Basics |
Compatibility - 2 |
|
|
The LaserWriter Pro 600/630 envelope feeder is compatible only with the Pro 600/630 printer. However, you may use the LaserWriter 16/600 PS envelope feeder with either the Pro 600/630 or 16/600 printers.
You can tell the two feeders apart in three distinct ways:
1By carefully inspecting the pickup rollers and shafts: The LaserWriter Pro 600/630 model has a two-piece roller/shaft construction. The LaserWriter 16/600 PS model has a one-piece roller/shaft construction.

2 By comparing controller board serial numbers: The |
||
|
LaserWriter Pro 600/630 envelope feeder controller |
||
|
board has the vendor number "RG5-0576" imprinted at |
||
|
the end of the board. The LaserWriter 16/600 PS |
||
|
envelope feeder controller board bears the number |
||
|
"RG1-3437." |
||
|
3 By comparing serial numbers: Numbers starting with |
||
|
JXC00001 denote feeders for use only with the Pro |
||
|
600/630. Numbers starting with LBK00001 denote |
||
|
feeders for use on both generations of printer. |

Slip Torque Rollers - 5 |

|
|
||
|
Primary Feed Roller: |
||
|
This roller acts independently of the shaft when the roller is |
||
|
rotated in reverse, thus permitting free removal of jams. |
||
|
Separation Drive Assembly: |
||
|
The gearing at the end of the separation assembly is |
||
|
comprised of one passive gear and two slip torque gears. |
||
|
This assembly results in counter-rotation of the separation |
||
|
rollers, regardless of the drive direction of the gear train. |
||
|
Pickup Roller Shafts: |
||
|
The two gears that mesh with the transfer drive assembly |
||
|
are slip torque gears. |
