This document summarizes the Anapurna ABF, a semi-automatic board feeding system for the Anapurna M-series wide format printer. The ABF reduces idle time between jobs by automatically positioning media up to 5mm from the edges. It supports a wide range of standard European and US media sizes using adjustable horizontal and vertical alignment pins. The ABF is easy to operate via a single button or foot pedal and can be quickly disconnected and reconnected when changing between roll-to-roll and rigid media modes.
