What the Belt Stacker Does
General
The stacker is designed as an output device for a range of Inserting
Systems and also as a general output device for other machines such as
address printers.
This guide covers use of the belt stacker in all configurations.
Configurations
The belt stacker can operate at right angles (to the left or right) and also
in-line with the machine outputting to it, depending on machine and/or
material being used.

The control panel can be positioned on either side of the stacker to
accommodate the different configurations possible. It incorporates a
variable speed control, run-out button, power switch and power supply.
In most cases, the belt stacker is mounted on height adjustable legs.
However,versionswithoutlegsareavailablethatcanbeplacedonan
existing table of the correct height. In these cases, no adjustment of the
belt stacker height is possible.

envelopesatadifferentheighttolarge(‘flat’)envelopes.Tandembelt
stacker configurations are available to allow automatic stacking of both
envelopesizessimultaneously.
Your Model
The belt stacker is tailored to work with the particular machine outputting
to it, and the configuration used, by the addition of kits. Your stacker will be
supplied with only the correct kit(s) for your particular installation.
This guide explains setup and operator adjustments for each machine
combination, but assumes that the stacker has been previously installed
by a service representative and that all necessary kits of adapters and
parts are available.
In most cases, it is NOT possible to change the belt stacker configuration
or link the stacker to a different Inserter without some modifications being
necessary. If you wish to do this, contact your machine supplier for advice.

Principle of Operation
The belt will start as soon as the start sensor is covered. When the
material has moved out of the sensor area, the belt will stop again. The
Start sensor position is adjustable, which allows the material overlap to be
adjusted.
Thespeedofthebeltcanbeadjustedinordertooptimizethestacking
function for various materials.
The Run-out button is used to gather the material after a job is finished.
The belt moves at the highest speed, independent of the Speed Selector
setting.
The Control Panel
The control panel can be positioned on either side of the stacker,
depending on system configuration.
To change the position of the control panel, pull the panel firmly towards
you to remove it. Refit the control panel to the opening on the opposite
side of the belt stacker.
Power switch
For switching main
power on/off.
Speed Selector
For setting belt speed.
Run-out button
Runs the belt at
full speed - when
you want to gather
the material on the
stacking tray.
