  • Page 7: What The Conveyor Stacker Does

    1 • Introduction What the Conveyor Stacker Does General The Model F680 Conveyor 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.
  • Page 8 Introduction • 1 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 Conveyor Stacker is mounted on height adjustable legs.
