2. GENERAL
2.1 Understanding the machine
This machine is a sophisticated folding and
inserting system which can process large
quantities of mail rapidly and easily.
The settings of the system are recorded in so-
called jobs. These jobs can be programmed by
an authorized user.
As a special feature the system is equipped with
an AutoSetTM function. The purpose of this
function is to start working as quickly as
possible.
The system consist of the following parts (see
figure below):
FlexFeed™
Collating area
IntelliDeck™
PowerFold™

FlexFeed™; see 1
The FlexFeed™ is the feeding part of the
system. There are two types of feeders
available. The automatic and the special feeder.
The automatic feeder does not require any
adjustments for the separation. The FlexFeed™
is equipped with double sheet control. In this
way the system can detect faulty sets of
documents. The FlexFeed™ is equipped with
feeder swap. 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 other empty feeder can be
refilled without stopping. It’s also possible to
feed multiple documents from one feeder. In this
way more documents can be fed from one
station, for example an original and a copy of a
document.
The upper automatic feeder of a feeder module
can be equipped with a “daily mail” function for
processing documents or sets of documents
which cannot be processed automatically (e.g.
stapled).
Collating area; see 2
After feeding, the documents are gathered in the
collating area.
IntelliDeck™; see 3
When the system is equipped with the
IntelliDeck™ incorrect sets of documents will be
thrown out automatically by the IntelliDeck™. In
this way the system does not need to stop.
Correct sets will be transported to the
PowerFold™ unit.
PowerFold™; see 4
The PowerFold™ part folds the documents. The
following fold types are possible:
• no fold.
• single fold.
• letter fold.
• zig-zag fold.
• double parallel fold.

ENGLISH
Inserter; see 5
After folding (or not folding) the documents are
transported to the inserter unit where the
documents are inserted into a envelope (not
inserted when processing without envelopes).
Automatic monitoring ensures the correct
number of inserts per envelope.
Present on deck; see 6
The documents inserted (or not) can leave the
inserter from the upper unit (present on deck)
when clearing the machine, making a test set or
depending on the OMR (Optical Mark Reading)
code.
Stacker; see 7
The documents inserted (or not) are transported
to the stacker or side exit depending on the
programmed job.The stacker automatically
stacks inserted documents. Via "Exit select
settings" the stacker can be selected.
Side exit; see 8
The documents inserted (or not) are transported
to the stacker or side exit depending on the
programmed job. The side exit can be used for
sorting and stacking of documents. Via "Exit
select settings" the side exit can be selected.

2.3 Display
The display shows the operating screens and
keys for operating the system (see figure
below).
The keys below are used for the functions: start,
stop, clear and escape. The six keys on the right
of the display are used for the corresponding
functions shown in the screens.
Press the start key to start the machine. After
pressing the stop key the system does not stop
immediately, but on the first opportunity while
processing. Because of this there can be
incomplete sets in some parts of the system.
When the clear key is pressed during
processing documents the system will stop
feeding documents after completing the set. The
set will be inserted resulting in a cleared system
which is ready to process a new job. When the
system is stopped already and the clear key is
pressed, it will process one set of documents
and the system will be cleared.
When a feeder runs empty after the clear key is
pressed, an ignore message will be displayed
together with the feeder empty message. By
pressing the ignore key the clear process will be
continued ignoring the empty feeder.
The escape key can be used to exit a menu
without saving any settings.
3. PREPARATIONS
Moistening the brushes
The water tray (see "Operating controls") must
always be filled with special sealing liquid or
water and the brushes must be moistened. An
extra set of brushes is provided so that one set
can be soaked in water. For this a special
section is available in the water tray (refer to the
chapter "Maintenance").
To fill the water tray, open the upper unit (refer to
"Operating controls"). Open the side cover and

Adjustment of the document stoppers
Initially the document stoppers are adjusted for
position B (see figure below). In this position a
wide variety of documents can be handled (max.
297 mm; 11.7 inch) and adjustment is not
needed.
When a job is selected in which a different
stopper position has been programmed, the
operator has to put the document stoppers in
the correct position as indicated by the display.
For use of small documents of about 148 mm
(5.8 inch) or smaller, the document stoppers can
