Feed Fixer Adjustments

How to adjust the card feeding system in your PhyzBatch 9000.

If you just got your PhyzBatch 9000 (thank you!), cards are not feeding into your scanner, or multiple cards are entering the scanner at the same time, your machine will need some adjustments.  Differing games, sets, and card types (ex. foils) have different thicknesses which can lead to decreased performance if your PhyzBatch is not calibrated to them.

Check The Tails

Before making adjustments to the Feed Fixer, ensure the tails are equal in distance to the header using your plastic shim. Position the shim so the bottom of the "L" shape is flat against the landing pad and that the back of the "L" is flush against the header of the Feed Fixer Assembly. Then adjust the tail so it touches the front of the shim. Make sure that both tails are set parallel to each other.



Check Card Feeding

1. Open the side of the PhyzBatch to view the cards as they are scanned.
2. Insert a single card, preferably a foil, into the hopper under the foot.  The card should be able to reach the rubber rollers located just behind the foot without any friction.
   
   
   1. if the card cannot go under the foot, proceed to the next step and raise the foot until the card can go easily underneath.
3. The dial on the top of the mechanism moves the foot.  Clockwise will move the foot up.  Counterclockwise will move the foot down.  Turn the dial counterclockwise until you begin to feel resistance on the card from the foot.  Then turn the dial clockwise 1/10th of a turn or less to raise it slightly.
   
4. Load the hopper with 100-150 cards.
5. Align the cards with the curve of the guides ("tails").  Note that the cards should be nearly flush with the hopper walls, but should not have any friction with them.  The gap should be as small as possible.  Adjust your tails closer to or farther from the hopper as necessary.  Use the plastic shim provided for best results when adjusting the tails, as card can bend or be on an angle.
   
6. Add the card weight, with the handle facing upwards.
   
7. Start a sorting session.
   1. If multiple cards are feeding, the foot is too high.  Turn the dial counterclockwise to lower it, in small increments, until only single cards are entering the scanner.
      
   2. If no cards are feeding, the foot is too low.  Turn the dial clockwise to raise it, in small increments, until single cards are entering the scanner.
   3. If cards are mostly feeding correctly but it sometimes struggles to take in a card, it most likely needs to be adjusted down (counterclockwise) slightly.  Make small adjustments both up and down until the machine is feeding smoothly.

Tail Trouble Troubleshooting

If your PhyzBatch is having difficulty feeding cards, you can try adjusting your tails so they're back slightly from where you would set them with the shim. Adjust the tails per the instructions above, but place one to three cards between the shim and tail, moving the tail position back slightly. Ensure that each tail adjustment uses the same number of cards.
