Step 16: 

Slide the Aligner into place, loosely attach the “4” Pan Head Screws with the “4” Lock 
Washers. 

Check that the metal surface of the Aligner Roller Assembly is flush with the Sheet Metal surface of the 
Paper Guide. A 12” metal ruler works well to check this adjustment. Slip the ruler under the green belt 
and press it flat against the two surfaces. Adjust the Aligner and snug the screws when perfectly flush.  

The green belt should look like the drawing shown after step 11.  

As a double check, hold the entire Paper Guide assembly up so that you can visually inspect the 
alignment between the sheet metal surface and the metal surface of the Aligner. The Green Belt should 
appear to be even or parallel, and just floating above the surface of the sheet metal.

2.  Visually check all around the mounting area of the Paper Guide Assembly and that the Sensor 

Harness is properly connected. 

3.  Loosely secure it in place with “3” screws on the left and “3” on the right. 

4.  Loosely install the “2” top screws.  

5. 

Once all “8” mounting screws have been properly started you have good alignment. You may now go 
back and tighten the screws until they are snug.
