Can I use containers with a lip or a lid on the top which sticks out further than the container? (AP360-AP362-AP380).

The AP360/362/380 has a notch in the container drive roller and container idler roller.  This notch is intended to accommodate a lip or lid that sticks out at the top of the container.  That lip/lid cannot extend more than 3mm from the rest of the container or be taller than 16mm.  The notches are on both sides of the rollers to accommodate either orientation.  If the notches are used the maximum height of the container cannot exceed 220mm (8.66")
