(On ours we use Rutishauser sheet feeders with Diablos's 1650 (Xerox 1730,...). Then you set a trap at the bottom to do a 'bp. I the below example, our sheet feeders need AT LEAST 1 inch gap bewteen sheets, on a standard 8.5X11 sheet we set the knob on the right hand side of the sheet feeder to 12. Below is a short piece of what you would have, I included a header just for more stuff. ------------ .pl 72 \" This sets up nroff to 12 inches and 6 lpi .de hd .if \\n%>1 'sp 3 \" Put 3 spaces and .tl and 3 more .if \\n%>1 .tl 'Page %'Bradley University'Your name' .if \\n%>1 'sp 3 .. .de fo 'bp \" Note the single quotes used here, in both the . \" header and footer so that the lines are filled . \" out fully .. .wh 0 hd \" do header at top of page .wh -12 fo \" do foot at 12 lines from the bottom, rember that . \" you have an extra inch so the actual bottom is . \" one inch from the bottom . \" next you have you text. if you want a new . \" page all you do is a .bp if you typing several . \" pages then the traps will handle the page breaks . \" ok. ------------ Spelling maybe off.
