1.3 End of Life
Do not mix with normal domestic waste
collection system dedicated to electrical
and electronical waste.
Please use the subjoined return or
Equipment produced after August 13,
2005.
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.
Separate collection of waste is the precondition to ensure reuse and recycling of waste
that is generated at the disposal of electrical or electronical equipment and is necessary to
achieve the chosen level of protection of human health and the environment in the
European Community.
More particularly, certain materials and components of waste electrical and electronical
equipment needs selective treatment as their injudicious handling or disposing of on or
into land, water or air would represent a major threat to the environment and human
health.
In order to facilitate collection and treatment separated from normal domestic waste,
electrical and electronical equipment is marked with the following logo:
Not only are you by law not allowed to dispose of the waste equipment via other waste-
streams, but we encourage you to actively contribute to the success of such collection and
to the common good and better quality of life of present and future generations.
For more information on the correct disposal of this product please contact your local
dealer.

2. 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.
You can save the settings of the system (document type, envelope type and fold type) as
jobs.
2.1 The Folding and Inserting Process
The figure shows an overview of the document and envelope flow.

5
Feeder Area (1)
The system has a feeder block with two document feeders. The feeder block is equipped
with hopper swap. This means that you can link both feeders as pairs. When the first
feeder is empty, the system switches to the other feeder. Meanwhile you can refill the
other empty feeder without stopping the system.
The front feeder (feeder 1) is equipped with a “daily mail” function to process documents
or sets of documents which cannot be processed automatically (e.g. stapled).
4
5
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.
Note
When Daily mail is selected, the DFC is switched off automatically.
Envelope Hopper (2)
The envelopes are picked up and transported to the insert position inside the system.
Feeder for Business Reply Envelopes (BRE) and Other Enclosures
(feeder 3)
Small enclosures or BREs are fed from feeder 3 and added to the folded document set.
Folding area (4)
In the folding area the documents are folded. The following fold types are possible (see
“Terminology” on page 29):
•No fold
• V-fold (half fold)
• C-fold (letter fold)
• Double V-fold (double parallel fold)
Inserter (5)
The folded document set is transported to the inserter unit and inserted into a waiting
envelope. The inserter can seal the envelope.
Exit (6)
The mail set leaves the system from the exit.

Remarks:
• Maximum insert specifications are based on single sheets. When multiples are
handled, more room inside the envelope is needed depending on the application.
• The specification of the paper handling 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 20°C
(68°F) with a relative humidity factor of 50%. If difference in temperature occurs
between store room and mailing area, the material has to be stored near the system
at least 24 hours before use.
• Self-copying paper may cause rubber parts to wear quicker. The rubber used in this
system has the best resistance to Wiggins Teape material.

8. 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. The address must remain visible while enclosures are
added and the document set is folded. The fold type and selected
envelope must ensure that the address is visible behind 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.

Term Description
Document set The document set is the physical collection of address carrier and
enclosure(s) that is under production in the inserting system. The
document set is completed during production and is to be inserted into
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.

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 Neopost 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.

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.
Feeder tray Part of the feeder that contains the stack of documents.
Insert • An insert is the action of inserting a document set into an
envelope.
