2. Loosen the tilt adjustment knob and adjust tilt angle.
3. Tighten adjustment knob. Be sure it is well tightened so it won’t become loose during jogging.
In general, the paper tray is tilted vertically for thick paper (Fig. 1). For thin paper, set the paper tray horizontally to prevent the paper from being bent and folding over. (Fig. 2).

Jogging and air blow will stop when the set time has passed.
4. If the Foot Switch is stepped on continuously, only the air blow will stop when the set time has passed. Then when the Foot Switch is released jogging will also stop. Adjust depending on paper conditions.
