Meet your Document System

Introduction
The system is a folding and inserting system for processing mail easily. The system:

• feeds documents
• folds the documents
• inserts the documents into envelopes
• seals the envelopes
• stacks the envelopes

Automatic monitoring ensures the correct number of documents per envelope. The system can be operated by means of a user friendly interface. The settings of the system (type of documents, type of envelopes and the type of fold) are recorded in so called jobs. These jobs can be created by the operator.
Operator and supervisor
You can use the system as operator and as supervisor. The supervisor has access to more settings than the operator. You can switch from operator to supervisor in every screen. When you switch to supervisor, you see immediately the result: extra tabs appear for the advanced settings. Also the side menu contains extra functions.
System Overview The figure shows an overview of the system.
Document Feeders (1)
The Feeder is the feeding part of the system. There are two types of feeders: the automatic and the special feeder. The automatic feeder does not require any adjustments for the separation. From a feeder you can feed one or more documents (multi feed). The feeders have a double feed control (DFC). DFC detects if more documents are fed instead of one. You can link feeders. This means that two feeders can be linked as pairs. When the first feeder is empty, the system switches to the other feeder. Meanwhile the empty feeder can be refilled without stopping the system.
The upper automatic feeder is equipped with a ‘daily mail’ function. You can use this feeder to process sets of documents that you cannot process automatically (stapled documents and sets with varying thickness).
Collating Area (2)
All documents of a document set are collated and aligned in the collating area.
Divert Area (3)
The intelliDeck automatically throws out incorrect sets of documents. In this way the system does not need to stop. Correct sets will be transported to the powerFold unit.
Folder Unit (4)
The fold unit folds the documents. The following fold types are possible (see Terminology):

• No fold
• V-fold
• C-fold
• Z-fold
• Double V-fold

Inserter (5)
After the documents are folded, the documents are transported to the inserter. The inserter inserts the documents into a waiting envelope. The inserter seals the envelope or not, depending on the settings. Automatic monitoring ensures the correct number of inserts per envelope.
Present on Deck (6)
The documents inserted (or not) can leave the inserter from the upper unit (present on deck). This can occur when:

• Clearing the machine;
• Making a test set;
• Depending on the reading code.

Stacker (7)
The documents inserted (or not) are transported to the stacker depending on the programmed job. The stacker automatically stacks inserted documents.
Side exit (8)
The documents inserted are transported to the side exit depending on the programmed job. The side exit can be used for sorting and stacking of documents into the catch tray as well as transporting to the optional conveyor belt or franking/mailing machine.
Envelope Hopper (9)
Envelopes that are placed on a stack by the user, are fed one by one into the system by the envelope hopper.

High Capacity Document Feeder (HCDF) The High Capacity Document Feeder (HCDF) is an option that can be delivered from factory. The High Capacity Document Feeder has a capacity for up to 725 sheets. The normal document feeder tray has a capacity of 325 sheets.
For more information on the operation of the HCDF, refer to the topic on loading documents for the HCDF on page 67.
MaxiFeeder
The maxiFeeder is a feeder that can be loaded with a high number of documents. This feeder is intended to be used for Business Reply Envelopes (BRE), but also ‘standard’ documents up to 356 mm (14″) length can be processed with it.
For more information on the operation of the maxiFeeder, refer to the topic on loading documents for the maxiFeeder on page 61.
A license is required if you want to use the maxiFeeder.
VersaFeeder The versaFeeder is used to feed booklets, regardless of the thickness of the cover, to the document flow from the feeder to the inserter. Because of the location of the versaFeeder (downstream the feeder module) documents feeded by the versaFeeder will not be folded.
When the versaFeeder is added to the configuration, this is shown in the screens at the operator panel.
For more information on the operation of the versaFeeder, refer to the topic on loading documents for the versaFeeder.
High Capacity Conveyor Belt
The high capacity conveyor belt is designed for envelope transport from the inserter or franking device. The conveyor belt has two operation modes:

• The belt moves continuously.
• The belt moves in intervals. The belt moves about 45 mm (1.7 inch) each time a sensor detects the passage of an envelope.

The guide plate and side guides prevent the envelopes from falling off the belt.
The conveyor belt switch has three positions:

• Mode D: the belt moves in intervals.
• Mode E: the belt is switched off.
• Mode F: the belt moves continuously.

With the turning knob (G) it is possible to set the interval distance between envelopes on the conveyor belt. The distance depends on the type of job and preference of the user.

| Neutral interval distance: 20 mm
| Maximal interval distance: 40 mm, setting for a job with thick envelopes.

Catch Tray for Side Exit For stacking envelopes leaving from the side exit a catch tray can be mounted. You can select the catch tray in the Output settings tab of the job definition (see Exit settings).
Instead of a catch tray at the right hand (RH) side of the system it is also possible to install a catch tray on the left hand (LH) side. To achieve this it is necessary to reverse the side exit of the Stacker from RH to LH.
Contact your supplier for more information about this option.
Power Stacker Support
Depending on the inserted type and amount of documents, the filled envelopes may get stack fanshaped at the stacker.
To prevent this, an optional power stacker support can be used in order to stack the envelopes correctly. Shut Down the System

1. Press the [On/Off] button to shut down the system.
   In case the system is unresponsive or fails to switch off, press and hold the touch sensitive power button for 10 seconds to switch off the system.
   When the system is busy, it completes and inserts the current set, stops and will be shut down.

   The feed rollers will automatically be lifted.

2. Place a stack of documents between the side guides.

3.  Turn the left side guide upwards again.

Document Separation
The term ‘Document separation’ refers to the adjustment required for separating the upper document from the rest of the documents in the stack. This prevents pulling too much documents from the stack at the same time.
The document separation for the automatic feeders is set automatically; there are no manual adjustments needed.
Feeders 3st can be special feeders. The document separation for special feeders must be adjusted manually. While special feeder trays fit in all positions, adjusting the separation is only possible when they are fitted on position 1 and 2.
To adjust the separation of special feeders follow the instructions as described in Adjust the Separation of Special Feeders on page 45.

maxiFeeder
Adjust the maxiFeeder Side Guides
Adjust the side guides:

1. Take a stack of documents/BREs and place them in the feeder tray.BREs with flap down and leading (top side pointing to system).
2. Adjust the side guides by turning the thumb wheel A such that the documents/BREs just fit and can move without resistance.
   Too much play causes skewing.

Adjust the maxiFeeder Document Separation
When the maxiFeeder is used at an automatic separation feeder, the separation is set automatically.
The maxiFeeder can also be used on a feeder position with a manually adjusted separation.
To adjust, proceed as follows:

1. Remove the document feeder trays 2 and 3. The lowest feeder is feeder 1.

2. Squeeze the two blue handles A and B and shift the feeding plate C as far as possible to the front.

3. Push knob D forward until it clicks.

4.  Place a document/BRE on the feeder tray and slide it in the system till the leading edge is not visible anymore. Turn knob D counterclockwise if the separation is set to narrow.

5. Push the document/BRE between the rollers.

6.  Turn knob D clockwise to get more resistance and counterclockwise if the separation is set to narrow.
   The separation is adjusted correctly when a slight resistance is felt on the document/BRE.

7. Pull knob D back when ready.

8. Replace the document feeder trays 2 and 3.

Load Documents (maxiFeeder)
When loading the maxiFeeder, make sure that the document/BREs are positioned parallel in relation to the feeding plate assembly to ensure correct feeding.
The feeding plate assembly will be shifted up automatically (when the system starts processing) until documents/BREs are underneath the rubber paper pullers.
In case of long documents, use the feeding plate extension B to support the documents. Instead also an optional A4/11” paper guide can be used to support long documents. Ask your local distributor for more information about this optional paper guide.

To load documents:

1. Squeeze the two blue handles A and B.
2. Shift the feeding plate assembly C to the rear position.
3.  Loosen the stack of documents and place them in the feeder tray.
   BREs with flap down and leading (top side pointing to system).

To load the document feeder tray:

1. Pull down lever A.
   The feeder rollers C move up to filling level.

2. Place a stack of documents between the side guides (max. 725 sheets, 80 g/m²). See Document Orientation how to place the documents in the feeder tray.

3. Release lever A.

versaFeeder
Adjust the Side Guides
The side guides can be adjusted as follows:

1. Place a stack of documents into the feeder tray.
2. Adjust the feeder tray side guides B by turning the thumbwheel C.
   Provide just enough space for the documents to move freely. Too much play causes skewing.

Adjust the Document Separation
Check before the adjustment that the release handle D for the
separation unit is in the closed (down) position.

The document separation can be adjusted as follows:

1. Turn the separation adjustment wheel A counter clockwise until a document can be moved backwards and forwards without resistance.
2. Turn the separation adjustment wheel clockwise until a slight resistance is felt on the document when the document is moved backwards and forwards.
3.  Turn the separation adjustment wheel clockwise to get more resistance or counter clockwise to lower the resistance.
4. Check the separation before starting the system. After starting the system it may occur that more than one document at a time is pulled in. If this happens, turn the separation adjustment wheel more clockwise to obtain correct operation. For poor feeding turn the separation adjustment wheel counter clockwise.

Feeder Tray Capacity

To avoid irregular feeding there are three levels for the maximum heights of the feeder tray capacity. The symbols for these three levels are printed on the right hand side guide of the feeder tray. The level indication is a guideline.

| Maximum feeder tray capacity of booklets with a tough cover (maximum
height: 250 mm).
---|---
 | Maximum feeder tray capacity for booklets with a weak cover (maximum
height: 150 mm).
| Maximum feeder tray capacity for single sheets: minimum sheet quality:
80 gr/m2 (maximum height: 50 mm).

Support for Curved Reply Envelopes (option for VersaFeeder)
Depending on the quality of the paper, the conditions during storage, etc. envelopes can be curved. This can cause smaller reply envelopes to skew while being processed by the versaFeeder.
A special support is available to allow curved envelopes to be correctly processed. It can be used for envelopes with a height up to 110 mm (4.33″).

Load Envelopes
Before you load the envelopes, make sure the envelope separation and side guides are correctly set.

1. Rotate thumb wheel D to move the side guides C apart.

2. Pull down small lever B to set the separation.

3. Insert one envelope up to the stoppers. The position of the envelope is flap down and trailing (bottom side of the envelope pointing to the system).

4. Return lever B.

5. Loosen a stack of envelopes and place the stack on top of the bottom envelope between the side guides.

6.  Move the side guides towards the envelopes.
   The space between the side guides and the envelopes should be such that the envelopes have just enough play to move freely.
   If the distance between the side guides is too large, the envelopes will twist sidewards, when transported into the machine.

7. Shift the envelope support in or out. The top side of the envelope must touch the dotted line on the support.

8. Turn the envelope support to distribute the weight of the envelopes evenly on both sides.

Filling the Sealing Liquid Reservoir
When you want to seal envelopes, the sealing liquid reservoir must be filled.

1. Open the front cover A.
2. Fill the reservoir B up to lip C with sealing liquid.

Therefore first consult the service organization before you change any settings. Changes to the job settings can result in malfunctioning of jobs.
You can also define the job settings per job. Select a job from the Job list, tap Edit, navigate to the Exit settings, and tap Advanced.

The Job settings part of the Settings menu covers settings that improve the processing of jobs:

• Flap closer offset: to improve the sealing of specific envelopes you can delay or advance the moment of sealing. You enter the number of pulses. A minus value means the sealing is advanced, a plus value means the sealing is delayed. You can enter a number between -20 and 20.

• System output: mode 1 mode 2
  Mode 1 focuses on the versatility of paper parameters (paper thickness; document length), i.e. correct operation under even extreme paper conditions. Mode 2 is the default mode, and focuses on high speed. Use Mode 1 with a paper thickness of 65 g/m2 or less, a document length of 12 inch (305 mm) or higher, and for situations where Mode 2 is not functioning properly. In all other cases use Mode 2.

• BRE with window: if the BRE has a window, set this setting to yes. Only available with Mode 2.

• Document offset (A in the figure): the extend to which documents are not overlapping in the vertical transport. In the vertical transport of documents fed by the various feeders, the documents are partially overlapping each other. This to make sure that
  the documents are properly aligned in the collator area. The default value is 50 mm (2.0 inch). The document offset can be varied between 20 mm (0.8 inch) and 250 mm (9.8 inch).

• BRE offset: in the case of offset is “yes”, the last document that was added to the set is shifted from the rest of the set (offsetting, see below).
• Collator stop optimisation: if set to “off”, the system does not show a message, when a collator stop change can improve the system output.
  Explanation of BRE offset: if a BRE is longer than the set fold but shorter than the envelope height, this BRE can get folded (A in the figure). Under certain conditions (see below) you can prevent the BRE from being folded. In the case of offset “yes”, the BRE is held back during a certain distance (B in the figure). This means that the trailing edge of the BRE leaves the collator last. The document is not folded. During the insertion into the envelope the documents of the set are aligned.

The conditions are:

• No multi-feed is used for the BREs.
• The document directly under the BRE must have a height of at least 60 mm (2.4 inch) more than the BRE.
• The height of the BRE is more than the set fold length.
• The folding mode is either V-fold or C-fold (no Z-fold).
• The BRE must be shorter than the envelope height.
  The whole BRE offset is based on friction between documents within a set. Therefore it is necessary to make use of these conditions to reduce the risk of bad transporting, folding and inserting.
  It is possible to use the BRE offset for a BRE and an enclosure (card) in one set. The extra condition is that this enclosure is equal to or smaller than the set address fold and should be placed direct underneath the BRE in the set.

Reading

Introduction
Code Types
The reading option allows the system to read special codes that are printed on the documents. The code contains information about the processing of the documents.
The system can read the following code types:

• OCR: Optical Character Recognition; the system can scan an area of the document for page number information in the page “n of m” (n/m) format
• BCR 1D: One dimensional barcode
• BCR 2D: Two dimensional barcodes
• OMR: 1-track Optical Mark Recognition
• Flex 1-9: Optional translation to support non standard OMR and BCR coding Depending on the settings, the code tells the system if:
• The document set is complete
• Enclosures must be added to the set
• The system must stop
• The set is complete (no pages are missing)
• The envelopes are transported to the side exit or to the stacker
  The sheets with the printed code are placed in a feeder. Depending on the programmed code, the other feeders can be used as selective feeders to add enclosures.
  In case of a Z-fold, the address has to be printed on the last page of the set. With the other fold types, the first sheet of a set always contains the address. A full length code is printed on every sheet of a set. The code must appear at the same location on every page
  regardless of the actual code length.
  The code on the last sheet of the set contains the insert instruction. The other sheets carry the accumulate instruction. If the “page n of m” code is used with BCR or OCR, the set will be inserted when n equals m.

General Requirements for Printing Codes
If you print documents for reading:

• Make sure the ribbon or toner quality is sufficient.
• Print the code in black on white background.
• Codes on the same sheet must have equal intensity.
• Print the code at the same position on every sheet.
• Be aware of “background noise”. The reading function can be disturbed by: color changes on the form, background design and a logo or copy on the opposite side of the sheet that will bleed through.
• For matrix printers near letter quality (NLQ) printed characters are preferred to obtain maximum blackness (double strike).

For more information on how to print a reading code on your document, contact your service organization.
OCR Code Description
With OCR page n / m (page n of m) you can print human readable characters on your mail set, which can be read by the system, to insert your mail set. The system can recognize the characters in the so called “n / m” format.
If the value of n is smaller than the value m the sheet will be accumulated, if the value of n is the same as the value of m the set will be inserted; m is the total number of pages and n is the current page.
Some specifications for OCR page n / m:

Supported fonts / font size| Times New Roman, Arial, Helvetica, Courier.
Italic text will not be supported, bold not recommended.
---|---
Character size| 12 point dotpitch
Supported layouts| n / m (n,space,/,space,m) Both n and m need to be
in the text, n first.
Print Quality| 15 mm (minimal), around
Clear Area| 600 dpi (preferable)
Color Background| White
Print drift| +/- 2 mm (max.)
Positions| Only one region of interest per job
Only horizontal text (portrait) supported
All text on the same line

BCR Code Description
Bar codes are used for mail sets that are processed in Document Systems. The bar codes tell the system if:

• The document set is complete
• The envelope should be sealed
• Enclosures should be added
•  Etc.
  Barcode can be printed vertically and horizontally. Two types of barcodes are supported, 1D and 2D barcodes (depending on installed licenses).
  Supported 1D barcodes
  • Code 39
  • Interleaved 2 of 5
  • Minimum line thickness of a bar: 0.25 mm (0.01 inch)
  • The thickness ratio of thick bars versus thin bars: 2.2
  • Minimum width of the barcode: 5 mm (0.2 inch)
  • The white area in the picture shows the limits where the code can be printed
  Code 128 is not supported. It may work but it is not recommended because it is very sensitive to speed variations.

Position of the code on the document

BCR license types
There are two BCR license types:

• Basic
• Advanced

BCR basic license
For the BCR basic license the following functions are available:

• Page N of M: as long as N is below M, the document set is not complete. As soon as N=M, the set is complete and will be inserted into an envelope.

• Insert/Accumulate: defines when a document set is complete and must be inserted into an envelope.

• Customer ID: BCR uses the Customer ID code to complete a set. If the ID changes,  the set is inserted. This is only possible with reverse reading.
  At least one basic commands is required. Page N of M can be used in combination with Customer ID as an integrity check.
  BCR advanced license
  For the BCR advanced license the following functions are available:

• The basic functions (page N of M, insert/accumulate, Customer ID).

• Sheet sequence – Every sheet has a number, regardless of the document set it is part of. If a sheet is missing, an error is generated.

• Group sequence – Every document in a set has the same group number. If one document set is missing, an error is generated.

• Divert (Divert & Continue) – The set will be diverted and the system continues.

• Stop (Divert & Stop) – The set will be diverted and the system stops indicating error (FT1-RE1-000 Reading stop – Stop mark read).

• Selective feed – If the system reads the command, an enclosure from the enclosure feeder is added to the set. This function is printed on the last sheet of a set. It is also possible to add an enclosure from the versaFeeder.

• Sealing control – Determines if envelopes are sealed or not.

• Present on Deck & Continue – The set leaves the system from the upper unit. The system does not stop processing. The envelopes are not sealed.

• Present on Deck & Stop – The set leaves the system from the upper unit. The system stops. The envelopes are not sealed.

• Exit selection – Determines if the envelope is transported to stacker or to the side exit.

Minimum line thickness of a mark: 0.2 mm (0.008 inch).
Default the first mark from the top is set to: 100 mm (3.9 inch). This parameter is set in the
job settings.
The code must have a consistent number of marks on every page.
The white area in the picture shows the limits where the code can be printed.
OMR license types
There are two OMR license types:

• Basic
• Advanced

OMR basic license
For the OMR basic license the following functions are available:

• Start mark: indicates the start of the code.
• Insert/Accumulate: defines when a document set is complete and must be inserted into an envelope.
• Parity check: by adding a parity mark the reading code can be checked. The sum of  the marks must be even.
• Safety Mark: is used as an extra security (only 1-track OMR). With skewed paper  the reading head can miss part of the reading code. In these situations the safety mark is not read, and the system will give an error. The safety mark also indicates
  the end of the reading code. This mark must always be present on the document if it is part of the code definition.

The minimum code is one mark in one line (insert). However for reliability it is advised to use at least 2 marks. The first line is the start mark. A mark printed on the second line means insert. No mark on the second line means accumulate.

OMR advanced license
For the OMR advanced license the following functions are available:

• The basic functions (Start, Insert, Parity, Safety).
• Divert (Divert & Continue) – The set will be diverted and the system continues.
• Stop (Divert & Stop) – The set will be diverted and the system stops indicating error (FT1-RE1-000 Reading stop – Stop mark read).
• Selective Feed (feeder 1-6 and the versaFeeder) – If the system reads the command, an enclosure from the enclosure feeder is added to the set. This function is printed on the last sheet of a set.
• Exit control – Determines if the envelope is transported to stacker or to the side exit.
• Present on deck – The set leaves the system from the upper unit. The system does not stop processing. The envelope is not sealed.
• Present on deck and stop – The set leaves the system from the upper unit. The system stops. The envelope is not sealed.
• Sealing control – Determines if envelopes are sealed or not. If a mark is printed, the  envelope is not sealed.
• Sequence Check – Sheets in a stack can accidentally get out of sequence or can be missing. This can be detected by the sequence check. Each sheet has a binary code that is a part of the reading code. Depending on the application one, two or three marks are used by sequence check.

OMR general remarks
General remarks:

• In case of OMR the marks must always be used in the sequence as shown in the figure.
• If a function is suppressed the following function will move upwards one line.
• The mark definition is a service setting.

An Example of OMR Code
In the figure the legend for the following example is shown. In this example, a set of 8 sheets with one selective feed and three sequence check marks is shown.

• The first position is used for the start mark which must be printed on every sheet.
• The second mark position is used for the insert/accumulate command. A printed  mark means insert, no mark means accumulate. Therefore the mark is printed onthe last sheet of the set.
•  Position 3 is reserved for selective feed from the enclosure feeder. Print a mark onposition 3 when a selective feed from the enclosure feeder is required. The marks are printed on the last sheet of the set.
• Position 4, 5 and 6 are used for the sequence check marks. In this case a three mark sequence check is used.

Flex Reading Code Description
With “Flex reading” also non-standard codes and alternative document handling algorithms can be recognized. Flex reading can be activated by a system specific license code and by a customer specific setting that is saved in a physical dongle.
With Flex three types of reading can be supported:

• OMR
• BCR 1D
•  BCR 2D
  Depending on the license up to 9 Flex definitions can be used on the system.
  Creating a Flex job is similar like creating a OMR / BCR reading job.

Reading Settings
When you create a reading job for OCR, OMR, BCR 1D/2D or Flex reading, the following options can be set:

• Maximum number of sheets: use the [-] or [+] button to select the maximum amount of sheets in the set of documents.

•  Stop on sheet overflow: defines if the system should stop or not when a set exceeds the maximum number of sheets, as defined at the “Maximum number of sheets setting”.
  In case of “on”, the system stops when the number is exceeded. The incorrect set is diverted. After resetting the system, the final part of the set is also diverted and the system starts processing again. The diverted set should be checked by the operator.
  In case of “off”, the system does not stop when a set exceeds the maximum number of sheets. The incorrect set is diverted. The final part of the set is also diverted and then the system starts processing again.
  The maximum number of sheets in a set is 25. When the number of sheets exceeds 8 or 10, depending on the fold, the document can not be folded anymore. In this case, the maximum length of sheets is 148 mm for a C5/6 envelope. Also make sure that the
  fold is set to No fold. Ignoring this will certainly lead to stoppages. When the maximum number of sheets exceeds the programmed maximum number of sheets in a set, the system stops and error FT1-RE1-312 will be displayed. After removing the set and tapping the [Start] button, the system starts and repeats the process until an insert or divert mark is encountered. Error FT1-RE1-003 (final set part) will be displayed.

• Stop on misread: defines if the system should stop or not when a code is misread.
  In case of “on”, the system stops after a misread. The incorrect set is diverted. After resetting the system, the final part of the set is also diverted and the system starts processing again. The diverted set should be checked by the operator. When “Stop on misread” is set to “off”, the system does not stop after a misread. The incorrect set is diverted. The final part of the set is also diverted and then the system starts processing again. After 5 misreads in a row, the system stops and an error code is generated.

• Reverse reading: (not applicable for OCR) With Reverse reading the decision of inserting a mailset is marked on the next set. For example with OMR the insert mark is printed on the first page of the set. The system will detect the end of a set by detecting the first page of the next set. For example in case of BCR using the Customer ID to complete a set. If the ID changes, the set is inserted.
  In case the feeder runs empty, the last set is still on the collator because the beginning of the next set could not be detected. In this case the feeder empty message contains an [Ignore] function. Tap [Ignore] and the set on the collator will be inserted. Because of the feeding and collating principle reverse reading has the following limitations:
  – The last mark of the code should be printed maximally 85 mm (3.3 inch) from the top.
  – Enclosures and selective enclosures cannot be handled. When a versaFeeder module is added to the system configuration, enclosures and selective enclosures can be handled with reverse reading.

Exit Selection with Reading

When you have a job with reading, more exit selection options are available:

• Fixed Exit: tap [Settings] to select which exit must be used for this job. If you select stacker, you can choose to let the system continue on the side exit if the stacker is full.

• Batching: tap [Settings] to define after what number of mail sets, the system must switch to the other exit. In case of a reading job, you can switch off that the system changes the exit on a reading mark.

• Thickness: depending on the thickness of the document set, the envelop exits to the stacker or the side exit. Tap [Settings] to define the exit when the mail set is thicker or thinner than the reference. The reference is the first document set.

• Sealing: depending on if the envelopes are closed (sealed) or open (not sealed), the envelope exits to the stacker or the side exit. This selection is only possible with reading: no mark (space) means sealed, a mark means not sealed.

• Reading: reading has two options: switch exit on mark and let the code define which exit is used. Switch exit on mark means that at every exit code the system changes the exit. If the code defines the exit, you define what happens if the exit code is read:
  exit code means stacker or exit code means side-exit.

• Weight: When using reading the size and weight of the mail set can be different per insert. In order to sort the filled envelopes based on weight, e.g. to stay within a certain postal tariff, the machine can sort the filled envelopes on weight and send
  them either to the side exit or the stacker.
  To enable weight sorting each item in the mail set needs to have a weight configured; the weight of the envelope, main document and possible enclosures have to be set. The machine sums up the total weight of used envelope and documents and compares
  it with a reference to determine to send the filled envelope to the side exit or the stacker.

  Remarks:

  • The specification of the paper handling equipment is often wider than that of the envelopes and documents handled. The condition of material handled will limit the specified environmental conditions.

  • We recommend that materials to be handled are stored at a temperature of 20°C (68°F) with a relative humidity factor of 50%. If difference in temperature occurs between store room and mailing area, the material has to be stored near the machine
    at least 24 hours before use.

  • Self-copying paper may cause rubber parts to wear quicker. The rubber used in this machine has the best resistance to Wiggins Teape material.

Terminology

Terminology

of the person for who the mail-set is meant. The address must remain visible while enclosures are added and the document-set is folded. The fold type and selected envelope must ensure that the address is visible behind the window in the envelope. For personalized mailings there is always an address carrier present as long as envelope printing is not supported. Normally there is one address carrier.
Address position| Position of the address on the address carrier, measured from the upper left corner. The address position consists of a horizontal x coordinate, a vertical y coordinate, a horizontal width w and a vertical height h.
Automatic| The feature of an Inserting System to automatically determine its Job settings by measuring the sizes of documents and envelope. From all Feeders that are loaded one sheet will be taken. Based on the maximum document length (which is also the length of the documentset) and the length of the envelope the fold type is determined.
Automatic job| A job that is created with the Automatic functionality.
Barcode Read- ing
(BCR)| Barcode Reading is intended for reading and interpreting printed barcodes. The codes give information to the Inserting system about how to build-up and handle a set.
Business Reply Envelope (BRE)| Envelope included in outgoing mail-sets for addressee response purposes.
C-fold| Fold type in which a document-set is folded twice in which the folded flaps are on top of each other. This fold is illustrated in the picture below.

The position of both folds is adjustable. Synonym: Letter fold.
Clear| The function of an inserting system in which all mail-sets in progress are finished and the document path is left empty.
Daily Mail| Capability of an inserting system to manually insert mail-sets one by one into the system, which are then inserted into an envelope. Optionally, depending on settings, additional enclosures can be added and the mail-set can be folded. This function is intended for small amounts of mail that each can have a different build-up.
Divert area| To avoid stoppages the Divert area diverts duplicate on faulty documents before folding them while the system is still running.
Document| A document is one of the components of a mail-set. A document can consist of one or more sheets. Documents can be divided into address carriers and enclosures. For personalized mailings there is always one address carrier and an optional number of enclosures.
Document-set| The document-set is the physical collection of address carrier and enclosure(s) that is under production in the Inserting System. The document-set is completed during production and is to be inserted in the envelope. The number of enclosures can range from 0 to the limit opposed by the number of available Feeders. Once the document set has been inserted into an envelope it is called mail set.
Double Feed Control (DFC)| Double Feed Control is the sensor that measures the thickness of a sheet to check if the inserting system does not accidentally take more sheets than intended. DFC sensors exist on Feeders (double sheet detection). Currently DFCs on inserting systems perform relative measurements, which means that they need a cycle to ‘learn’ the thickness of a sheet. Also the length of the document is measured so partly overlapping sheets will be detected.
Double parallel fold| See double V-fold.
Double V-fold| The double V-fold is a type of fold where the document is first folded halfway and the resulting folded set is again folded halfway. This fold is illustrated in the picture below.
The position of both folds is adjustable. Synonym: double parallel fold.
Envelope| The envelope is the packaging of a mail set. Window envelopes are envelopes that have a transparent section through which the address on the address carrier can be read. Besides the normal top-closing window envelopes there are also bottom-closing envelopes.
Extended Folding| Option, makes bottom address applications and short folds possible.
Face down| Situation in which the front of a sheet is facing downwards when placed in a document feeder.
Face down leading| Situation in which the front of a sheet is facing downwards and the top of the sheet is closest to the separation unit in a document feeder.
Face down trailing| Situation in which the front of a sheet is facing downwards and the bot-
tom of the sheet is closest to the separation unit in a document feeder.
Face up| Situation in which the front of a sheet is facing upwards when placed in a document feeder.
Face up leading| Situation in which the front of a sheet is facing upwards and the top of the sheet is closest to the separation unit in a document feeder.
Face up trailing| Situation in which the front of a sheet is facing upwards and the bottom of the sheet is closest to the separation unit in a document feeder.
Feeder(s)| The (document) feeding part of the system.
A Feeder is a Module for the input of documents to the inserting system. The Feeder separates documents sheet by sheet from the stack of documents in the feed tray.
Feeder linking| The ability to load two feeders with the same document type where the Inserting System automatically switches to a second feeder when the first feeder is empty and vice versa. In the mean time the first feeder can be refilled, so the inserting system can keep running without having to stop for refilling the feeders.
Feed tray| of of the feeder that contains the stack of documents.
Flexcode OMR
High Capacity Document Feeder (HCDF)| An OMR code for which the meaning of the OMR marks can be programmed In a dedicated way for a specific customer. This is normally used to support the OMR codes from other suppliers.
Optional feeder with a capacity for up to 725 sheets.
High Capacity Vertical Stacker (HCVS)| Optional stacker that Is mounted on the exit of the system, to stack filled envelopes.
Insert| •An Insert Is the action of Inserting a document-set Into an envel-
oPe.
•For native English speaking customers an insert is also a short,
not to be folded document, usually an enclosure.
Inserter| An Inserter is the Module where the document-set Is Inserted into the envelope, the envelope Is closed and if necessary sealed.
Inserting system| The system of all the Modules that cooperate to perform the inserting function (accumulate document-set, bid and insert) and have a single point of control.
Inserrn Rank / Inserrn Mall (mailing
machine)| Interface for the franking machine.
A| A job is an actually produced collection of mall-sets based on a certain Job Definition at a certain point in time for a specific purpose. It consists of:
•The Job definition used for the production
•Information about the batch size
Job counter| The counter that registers the number of mall-sets that Is produced as part of a specific job.
Letter fold| See C-fold.
linking| See Feeder linking.
Loc| The Loc is the unit In the system that transports the envelope Just after the document was inserted. It is called Loc (short for locomotive) as the early developments had a straight cover and a number of transportation rollers sticking out. This made it look like a locomotive from the side. In the current systems the loc also carries the brush holder and sealing rollers.
Mazifeeder| Feeder with high capacity feed tray (e.g. 1200 sheets A4 80gr).
MuIfifeed| The feature of an Inserting System in which more than one sheet is taken from a Feeder.
OMR| Optical Mark Recognition
OMR code definition| Standard 1-track OMR code definition. Specifies the amount of reading marks used and the functionality linked to each of them (how each should be interpreted).
Operator| The person operating a document system.
Optical Mark Recognition (OMR)| Optical Mark Recognition is Intended for reading and Interpreting printed codes. These codes are one or more black marks which are read from a document. These marks give information to the Inserting system about how to build-up and handle a set.
Folder unit| The Folder unit can fold up tot 10 pages.
Reading error| Condition in which the system could not reliably read or interpret the OMR reading marks or barcode from a sheet.
Reading marks| Marks added to documents containing finishing instructions that can be identified by a reading head and interpreted according to the used OMR code definition.
Remote diagnostics| The feature that makes 11 is possible to analyze a problem on an inserting System from a remote location.
Service engineer| Technical engineer whose task it Is to resolve problems with systems in the field. Besides dealing with problems, service engineers are also responsible for preventive maintenance.
Single fold| See V-fold.
Stop counter| Counter which sets the amount of envelopes to be filled. After filling this amount of envelopes the system will stop (even during a clear).
Supervisor| Person who is responsible for the technical state of the machine. Normally a supervisor has access to programming functions, which are restricted for standard users.
Test run| A test run Is Intended to validate the settings of the Inserting System:
•Inspect and adjust the stop position of the envelope.
•Check the fold settings for one set.
•Checic If the address is correctly positioned behind the envelope window.
Thickness detection| Checks the thickness of the document set. If the thickness Is less or more than the set value an error message Is displayed.
Tray| Contains a stack of paper for a printer or inserter. This paper is supplied to the machine for further processing.
V-fold| A V-fold implies the document/set is folded once. The fold-position is adjustable. This fold is illustrated in the picture below:
Vertical transport| The vertical transport section between feeders and collator.
Z-fold| A Z-fold means that a document is folded twice in such a way that each
folded flap is on a different size of the folded document, resulting in a
Z-shape. This fold is illustrated in the picture below.
