2.FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The 6402 Series 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 machine is a sophisticated folding and inserting system which can process large
quantities of mail rapidly and easily. The system can be operated by means of a user
friendly interface.
The settings of the system (types of documents, type of envelopes and the type of fold) is
recorded in so-called jobs. These jobs can be programmed by an authorized user.
The 6402 Series is equipped with a variety of special features as document thickness detection,
programmable jobs,
AutoSet, double feed control, hopper swap, multifeed, and daily mail.

empty , the system switches to the other feeder . Meanwhile the other empty feeder can be
refilled without stopping. It’s also possible to feed multiple documents from one feeder. In
this way more documents can be fed from one station, for example an original and a copy
of a document.

The upper automatic feeder is equipped with a “daily mail” function for processing
documents or sets of documents which cannot be processed automatically (e.g. stapled).
2.1.2Collating Area (2)
After feeding, the documents are gathered and aligned in the collating area.
2.1.3 Divert Deck (3)
The Divert Deck automatically throws out incorrect sets of documents. In this way the
system does not need to stop. Correct sets will be transported to the Folding area.
2.1.4 Folding area (4)
The Folding area folds the documents. The following fold types are possible:
•No fold
•Single fold
•Letter fold
•Zig-zag fold
•Double parallel fold
2.1.5Inserter (6)
After folding the documents are transported to the inserter unit where the documents are
inserted into a waiting envelope. The inserter then seals the envelope (or not) and stacks
them on the conveyor stacker. Automatic monitoring ensures the correct number of
inserts per envelope.

Job Settings (Supervisor)
Caution
Job settings normally will be changed by a service engineer only. Therefore first consult
the supplier’s Helpdesk before changing any settings. Changes to the job settings can
result in malfunctioning of jobs.
The “job settings” menu (supervis or) can be o pened
from the “supervisor menu”. From this menu system
parameters can be set. The “job settings” menu
shows the following functions:
•: opens the “mode menu” to set
the output mode for a job (see ”Mode Menu” on
page 16).
•: opens the “document offset”
menu to set the document offset in a set of
documents for a job (see ”Document Offset” on page 17).
•: opens the “BRE offset” menu to set the BRE offset on or off (see
”BRE Offset” on page 17).
•: opens the “flap closer” menu (see ”Flap Closer” on page 18). Use
this function to improve the envelope sealing process.
Mode Menu
When selecting from the “supervisor menu”
, , the “mode menu”
appears.
In this menu for each of the jobs 1 through 25 and
AutoSet a choice can be made between output
Mode 1 and Mode 2 using the button. Mode 2 is
the default setting.
Mode 1 focuses on the versatility of paper
parameters (paper thickness; document length), i.e.
correct operation under even extreme paper conditions.
Mode 2 focuses on high speed and is achieved as follows:
•During multi feed (more than one page from one feeder) the movement on the
collator is minimal. In mode 1 the divert unit will be used for completing the collating
process (less paper on paper transport).
•During the transportation of a set from the co ll ator into the powerFold

different transport directions. In mode 1 the set has left the collator completely before
the next set enters the collator.

It is advised to use Mode 1 with a paper thickness of 65 g/m
of 12 inch (305 mm) or higher, and for situations where Mode 2 is not functioning
properly. In all other cases Mode 2 is advised.
If you select Mode 2, select if the reply envelope has a window or not.

Document Offset
When selecting from the “supervisor menu”
, , the “document
offset” menu appears.
The vertical transport of documents fed by the
various feeders is arranged in such a way that the
documents are partially overlapping each other. This
overlapping scheme ensures that the documents are
properly aligned in the collator area.
In the “document offset” menu you can set the
extend to which the documents are not overlapping
each other, i.e. the document offset value. The default value is 50 mm (2.0 inch). The
document offset can be varied between 20 mm (0.8 inch) and 75 mm (3.0 inch).
BRE Offset
When selecting from the “supervisor menu”
, , the “BRE offset”
menu appears.
If a document is longer than the set address fold but
shorter than the envelope height, this document
sometimes will be unnecessarily folded. Under
certain conditions this document can be prevented
from being folded. This can be implemented with the
menu “BRE offset” (BRE means Business Reply
Envelope).
ENGLISH
For each of the jobs 1 through 25 and AutoSet
using the button.
In the case of offset “on” the last docume nt that was added to the set will be shifted from
the rest of the set (offsetting). This document will be held back during a certain distance.
This means that the trailing edge of this upper document leaves the collator at last. This
document will not be folded. During the insertion into the envelope the documents of the
set will be realigned.
an offset can be switched on or off
17
The conditions are:
•The feeder that supplies this upper document (BRE) is set to one document per set
(no multi feeding).
•The document directly beneath this document must be at least 60 mm (2.4 inch)
longer than the BRE.
•The upper document must be longer than the set address fold.
•The folding mode is either single fold or letter fold (no Z-fold).
•The upper document must be shorter than the envelope height.
Note
It is possible to use the BRE offset for a BRE and an enclosure (card) in one set. The extra
condition is that this enclosure is equal to or smaller than the set address fold and should
be placed direct underneath the BRE in the set.
The whole BRE offset is based on friction between documents within a set. Therefore it is
necessary to make use of these conditions to reduce the risk of bad transporting, folding
and inserting.
Flap Closer
When selecting from the “supervisor menu”
, , the “flap closer”
menu appears. Use this function to improve the
envelope sealing process for a job. The offset can be
varied between -20 and 20. If for example the offset
is set to +10 the sealing process will be activated 10
pulses later than initially.
For each of the jobs 1 through 25 and AutoSet
an offset can be set.
Test
The “test menu” menu can be opened from the
“supervisor menu”. Use this menu to check the
system, reset all photocells and execute an OMR
test. The menu consists of the following functions:
•: use this function to check if all
motors, clutches and sensors are correctly
connected. This test derives the status of the
actuators and clutches by briefly activating the
actuators and then measuring the current.
Note
Remove all paper and close all covers before testing.
18
•: use this function to calibrate all photocells.
Note
Remove all paper and close all covers before calibration.
•: use this function to align and test t he OMR readi ng he ad (see ”OMR

OMR Test
The “OMR test” menu can be opened from the “test
menu”. Use this menu to align and test the OMR
reading head (see ”Reading Head Position” on page
43). The menu consists of the following functions:
•: align the OMR reading head.
Put a document with reading marks in the
feeder and press this button.
•: shows the mark quality and the
number of read marks from the last processed document. Also the gain of the OMR
amplifier is shown.

- Flex 1-9 for reading non-Formax codes
•Read from feeder: press the button to select a feeder to activate OMR on.
•Reverse reading: reverse reading means that the insert mark is on the first page of
the set. The system will detect the end of a set by detecting the first page of the next
set. Because of the feeding and collating principal reverse reading has the following
limitations:
-The last mark of the code should be pri nted maximally 85 mm ( 3.3 inch) from the
top.
-Enclosures and selective enclosures cannot be handled.
In case the feeder runs empty the last set is still on the collator because the beginning
of the next set could not be detected. In this case the feeder empty message contains

4.2Optical Mark Recognition (OMR)
4.2.1General
The folding and inserting system can be equipped with Optical Mark Recognition (OMR) or
Flex-OMR. 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. With
Flex-OMR, the system can also ‘read’ non-Formax codes.
The sheets with the printed code are placed in a feeder. Depending on the programmed
code, the other feeders can be used as selective feeders to add enclosures.
In case of a zig-zag fold, the address has to be printed on the last page of the set. With
the other fold types, the first sheet of a set always contains the address. A full length code
is printed on every sheet of a set.
The code on the last sheet of the set contains the 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.
42
4.2.2Alignment

4.2.4OMR 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.
44
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 8.5 mm (0.33") must be kept without
printing. This means that the minimum code area
consists of 6 lines:
•2 lines to print the (basic) commands
8,5 mm
6,3 mm
•4 lines free space
Line distance may be 2.54 mm (0.1") to 6.35 mm
(0.4").
8,5 mm
Code Width, Character Spacing and Pitch
The minimum width of the code area is 7 character
spaces. From left to right:
•2 characters space not printed (4.2 mm; 0.17")
•Track mark (3 characters or 6.3 mm; 0.24")
•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 0.2 mm (0.08").

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 possible via
software options:
•Divert mark (divert & continue)
•Stop mark (divert & stop)
•1 mark: selective feed from station x (max. 6
depending on configuration)
•1, 2 or 3 marks: respectively sequence c heck 4,
2 and 1
•1 mark: parity check mark (even)
•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 upwards one line.
•The chosen code must always be used on all material which must be processed by the
Optical Mark Recognition.
•The length of the code and the mark definition is a service setting.
•Other marks/functions are possible via special codes (Flex codes).
The set will be diverted and the system continues.
Stop Mark (Divert & Stop)
The set will be diverted and the system stops indicating error VS:113 (stop mark read).
Selective Feed Mark
The machine will selectively feed an enclosure when commanded so.
Sequence Check
Sheets in a stack can accidentally get out of sequence or can be missing. 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.
46
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.
Examples of OMR Code
In the figure the legend for the following example is
shown. In this example feeder station 1 is the
reading feeder. The feeder stations 2 through 6 are
selected for selective feeding.
Example Code
In this example a set of 8 sheets with three selectiv e
feeds (station 2, 3 and 4) 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 mark position is used for the insert/
accumulate command. The mark is printed on
the last sheet of the set (inserting is required).
•Position 3, 4 and 5 are reserved for selective
feeding from station 2, 3 and 4. 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 3 is required. Print a
mark on position 5 when a selective feed from
station 4 is required.
•Position 6, 7 and 8 are used for the sequence
check marks.

8.TERMINOLOGY
TermDescription
Address carrierThe 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. 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 th e 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 positionPosition 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.

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
opposed by the number of available Feeders. Once the document set
has been inserted into an envelope it is called mail set.

TermDescription
Double Feed
Control (DFC)
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.
Double parallel
fold
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
envelopes that have a transparent section through which the address
on the address carrier can be read. Besides the normal top-closing
window envelopes there are also bottom-closing envelopes.
