Meet your Document System3
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.

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.
Folder unit (3)
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
Envelope feeder (4)
Envelopes that are placed on a stack by the user, are fed one by one into the system by
the envelope feeder.
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.
Stacker (6)
The documents inserted (or not) are transported to the stacker depending on the
programmed job. The stacker automatically stacks inserted documents.

Status LED (C): A status LED indicates the state of the machine, a green LED indicates
that the system is switched on, a blinking red LED indicates the system is switched off.
The display is a capacitive touch screen. To avoid permanent
damage of the display, do not use sharp objects to operate the
display.
To clean the display use a dry lint-free or microfiber cloth. If water
is necessary to clean the screen, you should make your microfiber
cloth slightly damp instead of putting the water directly on your
screen. Never use large amounts of water, harsh chemicals,
abrasive cloths or paper towels to clean the display.
Power Up
To start up the system:
Connect the system to the mains power supply.
You can severely damage the machine if it is connected to the
incorrect mains voltage. Before plugging in the machine, check if
the local voltage is the same as the voltage mentioned on the type
plate.

What is a Job?
If you have to process a lot of mail sets of the same type (for example bills), you can save
the settings to a 'job'. The next time you just select the job and immediately start without
defining any settings.
The following settings are saved in a job:
• Envelope type/size;
• Sealing on/off;
• Which document feeders should be used, how many documents should be fed from
each feeder and document height for each feeder;
• Feeder linking on/off;
• If BREs or insert cards should be included;
• Address position;
• Fold settings;
• Double feed control settings;
• Reading settings (option);
• Batch Counter, defining the number of mail sets that the job must process. The job
will automatically stop processing when this number is reached.
