to the customers' needs.
The whole system is operated and programmed via the
central operator panel of the base module, the inserter
(IN-3).

Overview
See Fig. 3 .
Envelopes are fed from a stack to the insert position. During
this transport the flap is opened. After the envelope has
arrived at the insert position a document is fed to the inserter
and then inserted into the envelope. After insertion, the
envelope flap is moistened (or not) and closed. Then the
envelope is exited.

User interfaceUser interface
User interface
The user interface of the inserter exists of two menus; the
"main menu" and the "job" menu. These menus are
accessible via a personal pin code.
• The "main" menu is accessible for all operating personnel
and the supervisor. In the main menu jobs can be selected
and performed. After selecting a particular job, all
modules will be set automatically according the job data.
• The "job" menu is only accessible by an authorized user,
the "supervisor", via the supervisor pin code. In the job
menu jobs can be programmed, deleted etc. In a job the
settings of the modules within the system (type of
envelopes, type of documents, type of fold and way to
sort) are recorded. There are more functions in the job
menu. For a description of the job menu see the “Guide
for job menu”.
The service engineer has access to all menus.
The system can be started, stopped or cleared by pressing
the concerned key located below the display of the inserter,
see section 4.6 page 6.
When a stoppage occurs, the IN-3 operator panel
automatically signals the operator and gives a suggestion
about solving the problem. See chapter 7 and 8.

Preparations inserter module
The bottle A (Fig. 8) must always be filled with water and
the brushes must be moistened. An extra set of brushes is
provided so that one set can be soaked in water whilst the
other set is used. This means there is always a clean set of
brushes ready for usage.
Before moving the system, the bottle and
watertray must be removed.
Refer to the other operator manuals of the used modules for
the required preparations.
If the system is switched off after, for example, a paper
stoppage, the brushes will not rest on the watertray. This
causes the brushes to dry if usage is interrupted for a longer
period.
Always take care that the brushes rest on the watertray.
Therefore the system must be switched on again so that the
brushes will rest on the watertray. The system can then be
switched off.
