HEALTH, SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENT Precautions and Safety Issues Thoroughly read this operator manual, before using this system. According to the EC declaration (European Commission) following the Low Voltage Directive (2006/95/EC), this operator manual must be available in the national language(s) of the country where the system is delivered. Therefore, if you do not have an operator manual in your country’s language(s), contact your authorized distributor.
Conventions Warning This symbol: • Identifies situations where improper use of the system can result in personal injury or permanent/catastrophic damage to the system. • Indicates that the operator manual should be consulted. Note A note gives additional relevant information. Caution...
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 rectified at source.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION The system feeds, folds and inserts documents into envelopes and then seals and stacks the envelopes. Automatic monitoring ensures the correct number of inserts per envelope. The system is a sophisticated folding and inserting system which can process large quantities of mail rapidly and easily.
Double Feed Control (DFC) Each feeder has double feed control (DFC). In this way the system can detect faulty sets of documents. When a job is started, the first document taken per feeder is used for a reference measurement. When a document is exceeding that reference thickness an error will be displayed.

TERMINOLOGY Term Description Address carrier The address carrier is the document that carries the address of the person for who the mail set is meant. The address carrier can consist of one or more sheets, from which at least the first sheet must contain the address.
Page 31
DFC sensors exist on feeders (double sheet detection). Currently DFCs on Neopost inserting systems perform relative measurements, which means that they need a cycle to 'learn' the thickness of a sheet.
Page 32
Term Description Feeder linking The ability to load two feeders with the same document type where the inserting system automatically switches to a second feeder when the first feeder is empty and vice versa. In the mean time the first feeder can be refilled, so the inserting system can keep running without having to stop for refilling the feeders.
Page 33
Term Description Test run A test run is intended to validate the settings of the inserting system: • Inspect and adjust the stop position of the envelope. • Check the fold settings for one set. • Check whether the address is correctly positioned behind the envelope window.
