The CT-10 Envelope Feeder is designed to operate with the ColorMaxT4 / ColorMaxT5 printers. This guide
will show the proper way to prepare the printer for the envelope feeder and installation and operation
of the feeder.
PREPARING THE LASER PRINTER FOR THE ENVELOPE FEEDER
1. To prepare the printer for the CT-10 Feeder, you must first remove the door from the manual feed
tray. First, open the manual feed tray door on the right side of the printer.
2. Press inward on the right side hinge of the door to release it from the slot
3. Press inward on the pivot point of the door on the right side to remove it from the printer housing

4. Remove the left side of the door in the same fashion and remove the door from the printer.
5. Open the right side cover on the printer by pulling on the latch shown here:
6. With the right side door fully open, lift the feed roller assembly to gain access to the feed roller and sheet
separator area.
7. Pinch the two upper corners of the sheet separator assembly (rubber pad) and remove the assembly from the
printer

NOTE: The envelope feeder is equipped with a paper sensor that will be positioned just to the left of the printer’s
manual feed tray feed roller. It is possible for the sensor to detect the white plastic housing just to the left of the
feed roller, which can cause erratic feeding. It is very important to place a piece of black tape or Velcro
(included with feeder) on this ledge so the sensor does not detect it.
Note: This tape will not affect the printer and can be left in place, even when not using envelope feeder!
ADJUSTABLE HEIGHT STAND ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Your new dͲϭϬŶǀĞůŽƉĞ&ĞĞĚĞƌ is packaged with the adjustable height floor stand removed and partially
disassembled. With a single 1/8” allen wrench, (included with the feeder) the stand can be re-assembled and the
feeder can be attached to the stand.
Step 1.
Carefully remove the feeder and the stand components from the box and set them on the floor or a large table.
Step 2.
Remove the locking levers and flat washers from the two leg assemblies
Place black tape on this
area.

Step 3.
Stand the upper stand assembly on the floor with the slotted bars facing upward as shown below. Then position
one of the stand legs on the outside of one of the slotted bars with the bolts extending through the slot as shown.
Step 4.
Raise the leg all the way until the top bolt is at the highest point in the slot. Place a washer on the exposed bolt
ends and then thread the locking levers onto the bolts.
Tighten the locking levers to hold leg in this position.
Step 5.
Repeat this procedure for the other leg. Be sure to set both legs at the same height
and then lock the levers securely.

Put flat washer on bolt threads first
before locking levers.
Note: The leg assemblies are
identical. There is no left or right

Step 6.
Flip the stand over so it is resting on the casters. Ensure that the locking levers are secure so the stand legs do not
slip while installing the feeder!
SETTING THE HEIGHT OF THE STAND TO MATCH YOUR PRINTER
Since printers of this type come with a variety of stand heights and additional paper tray options, the LF Pro
comes with an adjustable height stand.
The feeder is shipped detached from the stand. Assemble the stand as per the
stand assembly instructions included and set the height of the stand BEFORE
attaching the feeder.
After assembling the stand, but BEFORE attaching the feeder, move the stand into position alongside the printer
near the manual feed tray.
Step 1. Position the stand so that the top plate of the stand is close to the vents on the printer that cover the
cooling fan. (to the right of the manual feed tray)
As shown below, set the height of the stand so the top plate is approximately 7/8” below the bottom ledge of
the cooling vents.
Step 2.
Move the stand away from the printer for feeder attachment.

Step 3.
Now you will attach the feeder to the stand using four button head screws and the included 1/8” allen wrench.
The bolts have been attached to the uprights of the stand for shipping.
Step 4. (It is helpful to have an assistant hold the stand steady while attaching the feeder)
Carefully lift the feeder up and place over the top of the stand with the stand legs near the middle of the feeder
side plates
The stand should be oriented so the back plate of the feeder is on the same side as the back plate of the stand!
Step 5.
Carefully line up the two holes in the side plate with the two threaded holes in the top of the stand legs. DO NOT
LET GO OF THE FEEDER UNTIL THE SCREWS ARE IN!
The feeder will be attached to the
stand using these threaded holes
These two holes (on each side) will be
used to bolt the feeder to the stand with
the button head screws

threaded holes on the stand legs

Step 6.
Insert one of the button head screws into one of the holes in the side plate and use the 1/8” allen wrench to
tighten the screw. Ensure that the screw is threaded into the threaded hole in the stand
Step 7.
Add the other screw to the other hole and repeat for the other side of the machine
Ensure that all four screws are tight.
Aligning the feeder with the printer and final stand height adjustment
1. After the feeder has been attached to the stand, carefully move the feeder into position near the manual feed
tray on the printer.
2. Move the manual feed tray paper guides all the way to their widest position.

3. Lift the acceleration table up as far as it will go with one hand while you push the feeder in towards the printer
with the other hand.
4. As you slowly push the feeder in toward the printer, the exit end of the acceleration table should go into the
manual feed tray just above the bottom shelf and below the overhanging tabs on the manual feed tray side
guides.
NOTE: If the end of the feeder does not slide into the area described above, you may need to adjust the stand
height a bit.
5. Once the feeder has been pushed in far enough to get the end in past the overhanging tabs lower the
acceleration table so that it rests on the bottom of the manual feed tray.

feed tray guides. The end of the
table should go in just under
these.

6. Continue to push the feeder in toward the printer, ensuring that the feeder side plate extension fingers enter
inside the left and right walls of the manual feed tray opening.
7. Ensure that the feeder can be pushed in far enough for the side plates to be up against the printer body as
shown here:
If you cannot push the feeder in this far, you may need to lower the stand a bit. The extension fingers should
enter the manual tray opening just below the gray steel plate
After the feeder has been moved into position and the height adjusted properly, you are now ready to feed
envelopes.
IT IS ADVISABLE TO MOVE THE FEEDER AWAY FROM THE PRINTER TO SET IT FOR YOUR
ENVELOPES.
The dͲϭϬ envelope feeder can feed a variety of envelope sizes and types into the printer via the printer’s
manual feed tray. The following instructions illustrate the proper setup of the feeder.
Note: The feeder can be setup for your envelopes away from the printer, and then easily placed in line with the
printer after setup is complete.
While familiarizing yourself with the feeder it is recommended that you setup and test the feeder before
integrating it with the printer.
When the stand is set at the
proper height, the top ledge of
the extension “finger” should be
approximately ¼” below the
bottom of the gray metal plate on
the printer.
