• Mail Piece Icon Tree
• Item Orientation
• Options
• Data across the bottom of the screen (Home screen only) -batch count, piece count, and User ID

Mail Piece Icon Tree

The Mail Piece Icon Tree gives a road map of icons to visually help guide you through how a mailpiece will be put together and processed.

• It displays an icon for each component in the mail piece and a fold icon, if the material is to be folded.

• The icons are arranged in the order in which the mailpiece components will be collated. The outer envelope icon shows at the top of the tree.

• A letter appearing alongside the icon designates the Feeder Tray assignment; a small blue droplet icon indicates that the seal feature is enabled.

• The Mail Piece Icon Tree is located on the left side of the screen in the status area.

• Each icon has one darker edge, either at the top or bottom, that indicates the leading edge of the material. The leading edge is the edge that feeds into the machine first. (For example, a sheet that must be loaded face up with the top of the sheet leading would be represented by a “face-up” sheet icon containing a “leading edge” line on top.)

• A feeder assignment letter is placed alongside the icon to indicate the feeder tray the material is loaded into. Two or more feeder assignment letters alongside a single icon indicate that feeder trays have been linked. The material should be loaded in all the feeder trays indicated. During a job, when one feeder tray is empty, the feed will automatically switch to the next linked feeder tray, in a continuous cycle.

• If double detect is in use, the double detect icon appears to the left of the relevant icon.

• If any sheet feeder(s) are programmed to feed multiple sheets, a modified icon indicating multiple sheets appears with a number showing the number of sheets in the set.

• On scanning (OMR or Barcode) jobs, a variable number of sheets might be fed under control of the OMR / barcode marks. In this case, a small letter “n” will appear in place of the number.

Mail Piece Icon Tree Example

In the Mail Piece Icon Tree, each icon displays important information about the mail piece component it represents. The following diagram identifies information conveyed by the icon and how it assists you in loading and running a job.

• In the example above, the top address, additional sheet and C fold icons represent a set. That is, the Top Address and Additional Sheets are accumulated together, into a collation and the C Fold is applied to the collation.
• An insert (see the Reply Envelope icon) always appears as a single set within the Mail Piece Icon Tree.

NOTES

• Lines connecting the icons indicate the way the mail piece is assembled.
  The outer envelope is at the top of the icon tree.

• Making any change to the job settings can cause the feeder tray assignments to change in the Mail Piece Icon Tree.

• Any time the job set up changes, be sure to check the Mail Piece Icon Tree for changes in the feeder tray assignments.
