The separation clip part number for a TM8 and a TM8C are different. The TM8FC clip is longer so it will cover the component before the one being picked.

Travis, Thanks, but there is no adjustments (software or hardware) for tape advancement on the TM8FC magazines. Got a hold of the feeder documents from Mydata that Sr.Tech was talking about. I'll try there suggestions. Thanks
