I can't say I have tons of experience with this paver, but while paving a smallm portion of my backyard i found myself in a weird situation. I was feeding it till the end and i ended up with a pile which i had to clean up afterward. The question is how do you decide when to stop feeding the paver?
 
It's all about timing and keeping an eye on the material flow. You want to stop feeding just before the paver reaches the edge of your work area to avoid excess buildup.

hehe, It's like feeding a bottomless pit till boom, you've got a surprise pile, but heres the catch, timing's the trick really. if the screed is laying full and consistent, you're good, but as you near the end, slow it down and ease off the feed so you're not overfilling it. It's all about rhythm and keeping an eye on how far you've got left.
 
There isn't a right and wrong answer, there's only experience. You'll need to know the machine how much you feed it and how much you'll need to get to the end without a massive pile. Practice makes perfect, so start practicing. @Hallowed.space gave you a good advice to keep an eye on how much you got left
