4
1 Document Feeders The machine selects documents from the feeders according to
the applicable job options.
2 Collating area The documents are collected in the collating ar ea before they
are transported to the folding area.
3 Folding area In the folding area, the document(s) are folded according to
the job specifications.

6 Operating panel The machine is programmed and operated from the operating
panel. This panel consists of a touch screen and a separate Start, Stop and Clear button.
7

2.3 Display

The machine has a graphical touch screen. A touch screen sensor is a clear glass panel with a touch responsive surface. The touch
sensor/panel is placed over a display screen so that the responsive area of the panel covers the viewable area of the display.
This display shows functions and/or buttons, which can be operated by pressing a finger directly on the touch screen on the relevant function or button. The interface recognizes the location of the pressure point and when this is located within the defined area of a button, the user interface reacts with ‘pressing’ this button.
In this way , the user can simply operate the machine by pressing on the displayed buttons and/or functions.
Caution
The display is covered with a thin pressure-sensitive layer. To avoid permanent damage of the display, do not use sharp objects to press on the display.

6. OPTICAL MARK RECOGNITION OMR (OPTION)

6.1 General

The folding and inserting system can be equipped with Optical Mark Recognition. This allows the system to read special codes that have been printed on the documents. These codes contain information about the processing of the sheets.
The sheets with the printed code are placed in the upper feeder (no. 3). Depending on the programmed code, the other feeders can be used as selective feeders to add enclosures.
With the first four fold types, the first sheet of a set always contains the address. In case of a zig-zag fold, the address has to be printed on the last page of the set. A full length code is printed on every sheet of a set.
The code on the last sheet of the set contains th e insert instruction. The other sheets carry the accumulate instruction. If a parity check is used, this is checked on each sheet. If the set contains only one sheet, it is the “last” sheet. The code must appear in the same location on every page regardless of the actual code length.
This option can be enabled by a special license code (refer to “Options” on page 33).

6.2 Adjustments Reading head position

The horizontal position of the reading head must be adjusted to the same position of the printed marks on the documents. To adjust the reading head, proceed as follows:
1. Fold a document with reading code on the first mark.
2. Open the top cover.
3. Hold the document in the middle against the ruler.
4. Shift the reading head A so it is positioned exactly above the middle of the reading marks.
5. Divide the paper guides B along the width of the document.
6. When the reading head is adjusted it is possible that paper guides have to be removed and placed on the other side of the reading head.

6.4 OMR Codes Printing quality

• Marks should be printed in black.
• Marks on the same sheet must have equal intensity.
• Marks must be printed on the same position on every sheet.
• For matrix printers near letter quality (NLQ) printed characters are preferred to obtain maximum blackness (double strike).
• Be aware of background “noise”. Color changes on the form, background design, a logo or copy on the opposite side of the sheet that will bleed through can be read by the reading head causing disturbances of the OMR function.
• The ribbon or toner quality must be checked before printing.
35

Minimum code/basic commands

The minimum code is one mark in one line (insert). However for reliability it is advised to use at least 2 marks.
The first line is the start mark. A mark printed on the second line means insert. No
mark on the second line means accumulate.
Start mark Insert/accumulate
Note
In some cases, on request of the customer, the reading of the basic commands can be reversed by the service organization. This means that no mark is interpreted as an insert command and that for the accumulate command a mark has to be printed.

Length

Above the first mark and below the last mark a space of .33" (8,5 mm) must be free from printing. This means that the minimum code area consists of 6 lines:
- 2 lines to print the (basic) commands
- 4 lines free space
Line distance may be .1" (2,54 mm) to .4" (6,35 mm).
8,5 mm
8,5 mm
6,3 mm
Line 1 Line 2
Line 3 Line 4

Code width, character spacing and pitch
The minimum width of the code area is 7 character spaces. From left to right:
- 2 character spaces not printed (.17" or 4,2 mm)
- track mark (3 characters or .24" (6,3 mm)
- 2 character spaces not printed
Pitch 10 or 12 is accepted. The track mark can be printed using the underline” sign (_), which must have a thickness
of at least .08" (0,2 mm).
36

Additional marks

When it is required to control more functions in the inserter system, the use of more marks is needed.
The following additional functions are available via software options:
-divert mark
-stop mark
- 1 mark: selective feed from station 1
- 1 mark: selective feed from station 2
- 1, 2 or 3 marks: respectively sequence check 4, 2 and 1
- 1 mark: parity check mark (even)
Start mark
Insert/accumulate
Divert mark Stop mark
Selective feed 1 Selective feed 2 Sequence check 4 Sequence check 2 Sequence check 1 Parity (even parity) Safety mark
- 1 mark: safety mark
General remarks:
- The marks must always be used in the above sequence.
- If a function is suppressed, the following function will move upward one line.
- The chosen code must always be used on all material to be processed by the Optical Mark Recognition system.
- The length of the code and the mark definition is a service setting.
- Other marks/functions are available via special codes (Flex codes)

Divert mark

The machine stops; manually remove the set from the collator. Reset and start again.

Stop mark

The machine stops; manually remove the set from the collator. Reset and start again.

Selective feed mark

The machine will selectively feed an enclosure when com manded so.

Sequence check

Sheets in a stack can accidentally get out of sequence or can be missi ng. This can be detected by the sequence check.
Each sheet has a binary code that is a part of the reading code.

Parity mark

By adding a parity mark the reading code can be checked. When the OMR-2 code is used the sum of the marks has to be even.
37

Safety mark

The safety mark is used as an extra security. With skewed paper the reading head can miss part of the reading code. In these situations the safety mark is not read, and the system will give an error.
The safety mark also indicates the end of the reading code.
This mark must always be present on the document if it has been activated as an OMR code.

Example

In the figure the legend for the following example is shown. In this example feeder station 3 is the reading feeder. The feeder stations 1 and 2 are selected for selective feeding.
In this example, a set of 8 sheets with two se le ct ive feeds (station 2 and 1) and three sequence check marks is shown.
• The first position is used for the start mark which must be printed on every sheet.
• The second position is used for the insert/ accumulate command. The mark is printed on the last sheet of the set (inserting is required).
• Position 3 and 4 are reserved for selective feeding from station 2 and 1. Print a mark on position 3 when a selective feed from station 2 is required. Print a mark on position 4 when a selective feed from station 1 is required.
• Position 5, 6 and 7 are used for the sequence check marks.

7. OPTIONS

7.1 production Feeder Function

The production feeder is a feeder that can be loaded with a large number of documents. this feeder is intended to be used for Business Reply Envelopes (BRE), but it will also accept
"standard" documents up to 156 mm length.

Preparations

The production feeder should be installed at the position of feeder no. 1.
It can be placed into position in the same way as the other document feeders are fitted.
Proceed as follows:
1. Lift the paper feed rollers with the front edge of the production feeder.
2. Move the production feeder forward until it hooks behind the frame axle.
3. Connect the connector A to the socket B.
The production feeder is auto-detected by the system when it is switched ON. This makes it easy to switch
over from the standard document hopper to the production feeder and vice versa.
Note
To allow easier installation of the production feeder, put the feeding plate in the rear position (see section "Separation").
A
B
To make use of the production feeder it is not necessary to (re-)program the jobs.

Adjusting Side guides

Adjust the side guides:
1. T ake a stack of documents/BREs and place them in the feeder tray. BREs with flap down and leading (top side pointing to machine).
2. Adjust the side guides by turning the thumbwheel G so the documents/BREs just fit and can move without resistance. Too much play causes skewing.
G H I J

Remarks:
• The specification of the paper handl ing equipment is often wider than that of the envelopes and documents handled. The condition of material handled will limit the specified environmental conditions.
• We recommend that materials to be handled are stored at a temperature of 68°F (20°C) with a relative humidity factor of 50%. If difference in temperature occurs between store room and mailing area, the material must be stored near the machine at least 24 hours before use.
• Self-copying paper may cause rubber parts to wear quicker. The rubber used in this machine has the best resistance to Wiggins Teape material.

10.6 Terminology

Term Description
Address Carrier The address carrier is the document that carries the address of the
person for whom 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. The address must remain visible while enclosures are added and the document-set is folded. The fold type and selected envelope must ensure that th e address is v isible be hind the window in the envelope. For personalized mailings there is always an address carrier present as long as envelope printing is not supported. Normally there is one address carrier.
Address position Position of the address on the address carrier,
measured from the upper left corner. The address position consists of a horizontal x coordinate, a vertical y coordinate, a horizontal width w and a vertical height h.

enclosure(s) that is under production in the Inserting System. The document-set is completed during production and is to be inserted in the envelope. The number of enclosures can range from 0 to the limit imposed by the number of available feeders. Once the document set has been inserted into an envelope it is called a mail-set.

Term Description
Double Feed Control (DFC)
Double Parallel fold
Double Feed Control is the sensor that measures the thickness of a sheet to check if the inserting system does not accidentally take more sheets than intended. DFC sensors exist on Feeders (double sheet detection). Currently, DFCs on Formax inserting systems perform relative measurements, which means that they need a cycle to 'learn' the thickness of a sheet. Also the length of the document is measured so partly overlapping sheets will be detected.
The double parallel fold is a type of fold where the document is first folded halfway and the resulting folded set is again folded halfway. This fold is illustrated in the picture below. The position of both folds is adjustable.
Envelope The envelope is the packaging of a mail set. Window envelopes are
