1.3 End of Life
The objectives of the European Community's environment policy are, in particular, to
preserve, protect and improve the quality of the environment, protect human health and
utilise natural resources prudently and rationally. That policy is based on the
precautionary principle and principles that preventive action should be taken, that
environmental damage should as a priority be rectified at source.
Separate collection of waste is the precondition to ensure reuse and recycling of waste
that is generated at the disposal of electrical or electronical equipment and is necessary to
achieve the chosen level of protection of human health and the environment in the
European Community.
More particularly, certain materials and components of waste electrical and electronical
equipment needs selective treatment as their injudicious handling or disposing of on or
into land, water or air would represent a major threat to the environment and human
health.
In order to facilitate collection and treatment separated from normal domestic waste,
electrical and electronical equipment is marked with the following logo:
Not only are you by law not allowed to dispose of the waste equipment via other waste-
streams, but we encourage you to actively contribute to the success of such collection and
to the common good and better quality of life of present and future generations.
For more information on the correct disposal of this product please contact your local
dealer.
Do not mix with normal domestic waste
collection system dedicated to electrical
and electronical waste.
Please use the subjoined return or

2. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The system feeds, folds and inserts documents into envelopes and then seals and stacks
the envelopes. Automatic monitoring ensures the correct number of inserts per envelope.
The system is a sophisticated folding and inserting system which can process large
quantities of mail rapidly and easily.
You can save the settings of the system (document type, envelope type and fold type) as
jobs.
2.1 The Folding and Inserting Process
The figure shows an overview of the document and envelope flow.
Feeder Area (1)
The system has a feeder block with two document feeders. The feeder block is equipped
with hopper swap. This means that you can link both feeders as pairs. When the first
feeder is empty, the system switches to the other feeder. Meanwhile you can refill the
other empty feeder without stopping the system.
The front feeder (feeder 1) is equipped with a “daily mail” function to process documents
or sets of documents which cannot be processed automatically (e.g. stapled).

Double Feed Control (DFC)
Each feeder has double feed control (DFC). In this way the system can detect faulty sets
of documents. When a job is started, the first document taken per feeder is used for a
reference measurement. When a document is exceeding that reference thickness an error
will be displayed.
Note
When Daily mail is selected, the DFC is switched off automatically.
Envelope Hopper (2)
The envelopes are picked up and transported to the insert position inside the system.
Feeder for Business Reply Envelopes (BRE) and Other Enclosures
(feeder 3)
Small enclosures or BREs are fed from feeder 3 and added to the folded document set.
Folding area (4)
In the folding area the documents are folded. The following fold types are possible (see
“Terminology” on page 29):
•Nofold
• V-fold (half fold)
• C-fold (letter fold)
• Double V-fold (double parallel fold)
Inserter (5)
The folded document set is transported to the inserter unit and inserted into a waiting
envelope. The inserter can seal the envelope.
Exit (6)
The mail set leaves the system from the exit.
