under software control by the inserter.
In order to ensure the long usage of this machine and its components, and above all the
safe use of the machine, you must read and adhere to the operating instructions and safety
notes. Always be aware of all warnings and notes that are mounted or noted on the machine
itself.
All persons entrusted with the handling of this machine must also be familiar with the
operating manual.
Save this handbook carefully, so that the information it contains may be available at all
times.

1.2 Notes on the use of this handbook
This document contains all general information and explanatory text necessary in order to
be able to carry out the operation of the machine.
When some action is expected from the operator, this will always be explicitly stated, and
where relevant, accompanied by an illustration or graphic.
Always read through each step, so that you will obtain all of the necessary information. Do
not anticipate what you believe will follow in the handbook: It will prevent you from making
mistakes!
Chronology and Reference
This handbook is structured chronologically, and therefore ordered sequentially for the
operationally ready machine. It assumes that the machine has been installed in the
correct environment by an Authorised Service Engineer and that the operator or his or her
supervisor has had a degree of operator training.
When you are unfamiliar with the machine, it is best to read through the handbook from
beginning to end. You will be guided step by step, and in this way you can easily and quickly
have the machine in operation.
If you are already familiar with the machine, it will make things easy if you use this
handbook as a reference work.
2 Safety notes
For your own safety and the operating safety of the machine, read the following notes
carefully before starting your machine. Always be aware of all warnings and notes that
are mounted or noted on the machine itself. Save this handbook carefully, so that the
information it contains may be available at all times.
The machine is of advanced construction and reliable in operation. Nevertheless, the device
does present hazards when operated by untrained personnel. The same applies to use that
is inappropriate and not in keeping with its intended purpose.
In not adhering to this handbook, there is the danger of
• an electrical shock,
• injuries from the intake at the rotating rollers,
• damage to the machine.

200 Series Conveyor Operator Manual Issue 1 May 2011
Caution!
Please, read these notes with care.
Save these instructions for later use.
All notes and warnings found on the machine are to be followed.
Important! The machine must be installed only by an Authorised
Service Engineer. A safe, level position is necessary, when installing the
machine, with sufcient space all round to operate it. The machine is to be
protected from moisture. If moving the machine, ensure that the castor
brakes are off, and push on the stand, not the machine.
Ensure there is at least 1 metre of free space between the side of the machine
and a wall or barrier. Do not place surrounding furniture or other objects
where your path may be obstructed.
The machine operates on low voltage so no general elctrical hazard is present.
However, the inserter to which it connects operates at mains voltage, hence a
hazard exists if any electrical parts remain uncovered. Protect the device from
moisture. When moisture enters the machine, there is the danger of electrical
shock. Never remove any screws from the machine or attempt to open it. For
reasons of electrical safety, the machine may only be opened by authorized
Service Agents.
Never reach into the machine when it is running! As the machine is connected
to the inserter, this could only occur if a safety interlock were to fail.
The danger of injuries exists, due to a moving conveyor belt. Keep long hair
and parts of loose clothing far from the machine in operation. If a safety
interlock fails, your Service Agent must be contacted immediately!
In order to prevent damage to the machine, only factory authorized accessory
parts should be used.
Prior to cleaning the exterior of the machine, it should be disconnected from
the power supply. When cleaning the machine, do not use liquid or spray
cleaners, but only a cloth dampened with water.
When cleaning sensors use only non-ammable airdusters, eg. part number
9103707C. Other types may use ammable propellants, which could result in
re or explosion.

For safety reasons, your own reworking and modications are not
permitted.
Please contact your Service Agent, for all questions relating to service and
repair. In this way, you ensure the operational safety of your machine.
2.2 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 rectied 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 electronic 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 electronic
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.

3 Description of machine
3.1 Description of operation
The function of the machine is to receive mailpieces from a 200 Series in-
serter and stack them along the surface for hand removal.
The speed of the conveyor can be adjusted in the operating software for the
relevant job, and batches can be ‘jogged’ to provide a gap between each
batch.
The conveyor can be attached to the inserter in two orientations:
At a right angle to the inserter in the direction of the operator
•
(default orientation).
In line with the inserter.•
The Output Conveyor is automatic in operation and no external controls are
required.

4 Machine Setup
To help envelopes feed onto the conveyor properly, a backstop or rollers will need to be set
up. This is described below.
4.1 Angled Version
Adjust the backstop shown below, so that the ejecting envelope contacts it approximately
halfway up, and then falls fully onto the conveyor surface.
This can be further assisted by raising or lowering the roller plate to adjust the angle of the
ejecting envelope. The plate moves in indents.
Note: Some envelopes may be found to feed better if the plate is pulled out and turned
round the other way.

4.2 Inline Version
Adjust the rollers shown below, so that the ejecting envelope contacts the nip of the rollers
at the conveyor surface, and then falls fully onto the surface.
This can be further assisted by raising or lowering the roller plate to adjust the angle of the
ejecting envelope. The plate moves in indents.
Note: Some envelopes may be found to feed better if the plate is pulled out and turned
round the other way.
Roller plate Envelope Rollers
When adjustments are complete, ensure the roller adjustment knobs are fully tightened.
4.3 Backrest adjustment
When the envelopes reach the end of the conveyor, they will stack up against the backrest.
This can be adjusted to suit the required amount of tilt: slacken the adjustment knob each
side and retighten when you are satised with the angle.
