pleted mail pieces in the new run.

1. Press RESET COUNTERS to display the Reset Counters screen.
2. Select "Piece Count".

Basic Operation The information in this section is intended for use as a replacement or
supplement to information contained in Chapter 3, Basic Operation in the
DI900/DI950 FastPac™Document Inserting System Operator Guide. These
instructions explain how to:
• properly power up the inserting system;
• create a job using the Universal Feeder on the DI900/DI950 Inserting
System; and
NOTE: You should be thoroughly familiar with each component of the Uni-
versal Feeder and the optional High Capacity Loader before creating a job
on the DI900/DI950 Inserting System (see the Model F731/F732 Universal
Feeder and the optional Model F734/F735 High Capacity Loader Operator
Guide supplied with the system).
• select a job.
Powering Up Press the ON/OFF switch (located below the Control Panel) to start the
power up process.
IMPORTANT:
• If additional modules are present (e.g. High Capacity Sheet Feeder, Universal
Feeder, DI900/DI950 Input Transport, Exit Transport), power on each module
from left to right.
• When powering the system off and on, be sure to power off all modules, from
left to right, then power them all back on from left to right.
The system will automatically conduct a number of checks to verify the op-
erational integrity of the system. If any problems are detected, the system
will display information directing you to a solution to the problem.

Making Pre-Run
Adjustments
Adjusting the Manual Lever for Stiff Media Mode (DI950e Only)
Mail pieces with stiff inserts leave the machine through the flats exit. The
Stiff media feature requires manual lever (with sensor) to hold the flats gate
open. This hardware is included with DI950e inserters.
If the stiff media hardware is present, one or more of any insert type may be
designated “stiff”.
• Most common case is a single stiff insert from the Input Transport.
• Also possible is a job with multiple inserts from the tower that, taken to-
gether, are stiff.
Once one or more inserts have been designated “stiff”, the job requires an
envelope of length 6 in. (152.4 mm) to 7 in. (177.8 mm) and the manual le-
ver placed in the flats position.
• Envelopes must be fed from the Feeder Tower; the HCEF cannot be
used.
• Since mail piece components may be too short to leave the machine
through the flats exit when they are not in an envelope, CLEAR DECK
does not function in Stiff Media mode. Instead, you must clear the ma-
chine manually.
To adjust the manual lever for Stiff Media mode:
1. Open the Sealer cover.
2. Adjust the lever to the stiff media position.
3. Close the Sealer cover.
