4.3 User interface
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.

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.

the system with documents and envelopes.
Use key 3 to make one insert cycle. Each time the key is
pressed another insert cycle will be made. When there is no
envelope waiting on the insert table, the machine feeds one
envelope waiting on the insert table. The document will be
inserted and filled envelope is ejected.
If there are documents on the collating area, these
documents will be inserted and the filled envelope is ejected
(and counted). If there is an empty envelope in the inserter,
this envelope will be ejected.
See notes mentioned in section 6.2 on page 22.

Fine tuning the folder settings
In the 6900 Series, if and when the electronic folder FO-3 is used,
the operator has the possibility to adjust the (mechanical)folder
settings during the execution of a specific job. This might be
neccesary for instance when adapting the fold settings to
the current mechanical paper parameters (thickness,
sturdiness et cetera).
After pressing key 5 in figure 18 the menu of figure 20
appears.
The following functions are available:
• test for a folded document 1x (key 1). It makes sense to
do this in the same menu screen.
• Increase/ decrease value of fold setting A (keys 2 and
3). Basically there is no limitation in the values. The
possibilities are same as in the equivalent settings of the
job menu (FO settings).
• as keys 2 and 3, for fold setting B, if relevant (keys 4 and
5). This depends on the fold type. Setting B is relevant for
all fold types except single fold. Note that you cannot
change the fold type in this menu.
• enter and effectuate the settings (key 6). Back to the menu
"test run" menu of figure 18.
• discard the settings (Esc). Back to the "test run" menu of

Thickness detection
Thickness detectionThickness detection
Thickness detection
The IN-3 is equipped with a document thickness detector.
The thickness detector controls the thickness of the
document. In this way the machine checks if the envelope
will be filled with the correct amount of documents. The
detector will stop the machine if a document is too thick or
too thin and an error message will be displayed.
The thickness detector is self-setting. After switching on (or
after resetting the thickness detection) the thickness of the
first document passing under the detector is memorized and
compared with the following inserts.
If the thickness of the documents can vary, for example
when a small card is used that can shift in place, it is
recommended to switch off the thickness detection or shift it
to a stable section of the document. The thickness detection
measurement area can only be adjusted by the supervisor.
See section 2.4.3 in the “Guide for job menu”.

with the flap to the back. Place the press bracket C on the
envelopes.
Adjust the envelope hopper side guides B by turning the
thumbwheel A, to provide just enough space for the
envelopes to move freely. Too much play causes skewing.
When using C4 envelopes check if the blade spring on the
sealing table is up. The spring is visible after lifting the loc.
The purpose of the spring blade is to obtain better support
when using thin A4 sized documents.

thumbwheel slightly until only one envelope at a time is
pulled in. Adjustments can be made with the system
operating.

Adjust the envelope separation by turning knob B (Fig. 26)
counter clockwise until two envelopes, one on top of the
other, can be moved backwards and forwards between the
rollers without resistance. Then turn knob B clockwise until
one envelope will pass between the rollers.
After starting the system it may occur that more than one
envelope at a time is pulled in. If this happens, rotate knob B
clockwise a quarter turn. Repeat if necessary to obtain
correct operation.
Once the envelope separation has been set, a wide variety
of envelopes can be handled.
