Mike, I tried to respond to your query last week but the Technet keeps on rejecting my postings - I have unsubscribed and resubscribed and hopefully this will do the trick. You ask how to convert Fuji CP4-3 plastic embossed tape style feeders to paper style feeders. As far as I am aware the only difference is that the paper tape feeders do not have the groove machined out on the aluminium body where the tape passes over (as the paper tape is flat). To convert the plastic style to the paper style all you need to do is fit an insert into the groove, but before you do this you could just try running the paper tape in the plastic feeder and checking your yield and wastage figures to see if you can get away without modifying your feeders. As far as sources for 'gently used' feeders go, make extra sure that you are getting the right feeder for your machine, and that they are compattible with your existing feeders - there seem to be quite a few variants of Fuji feeders around.
