PREPARING THE CHECKS
When you have a deck of checks that needs to be processed, prepare the checks as described below:
1. Grab the entire deck of checks and lightly tap the bottom of the deck against a flat surface with the objective of
aligning the bottom edge of all the checks in the deck.
2. Also, grab the entire deck of checks and lightly tap with your hand the right edge of the deck with the objective of
aligning the leading edge of all the checks in the deck.
FEEDING CHECKS AUTOMATICALLY
The Input Hopper can hold up to 70 checks. To feed a deck of checks, proceed as follows:
1. Stack the checks in the Input Hopper as shown in Figure 1.
2. Slide the deck forward to the Loading Zone Marker so that all leading edges are between the arrows as shown in
Figure 1.
Ethernet Connection
Excella is a web appliance and it offers several functions and features in a built-in Web page accessible through a Web browser. For
example, if Excella's default Ethernet device IP address is 192.168.10.100, type the "http://192.168.10.100" in your web browser to access
Excella's web page.
On the main menu, the Configuration page offer options to setup the Network and Ethernet configurations. Additionally, an option is
provided to save and restore device configurations.
