1. INTRODUCTION

Important Safety Information

• Please read all the instructions in this manual operate your OfficeRight™ DI200. Save all instructions for future use.

WARNING! Always use the power cord supplied with your machine and plug it into a outlet that's located near the machine and easily accessible. Failure to properly ground the machine can result in severe personal injury and/or fire.

• DO NOT use a wall outlet controlled by a wall switch or one that is shared with other equipment.

• Do not use an adapter plug on the line cord or wall outlet.

• Do not remove the ground pin from the line cord.

• Make sure the area in front of the wall outlet into which the machine is

plugged is free from obstruction.

• DO NOT route the power cord over sharp edges or trap it between pieces of furniture. Make sure there is no strain on the power cord.

• To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, DO NOT attempt to remove covers or disassemble the inserter. The cabinet encloses hazardous parts. Refer servicing to qualified personnel.

• Keep fingers, long hair, jewelry and loose clothing away from moving parts at all times.

• Never reach into the machine while it is running. Avoid touching moving parts or materials while the machine is in use. Before clearing a jam, be sure all machine mechanisms come to a complete stop.

• Know your equipment, especially

emergency.

• When removing jammed material, avoid using too much force to protect against minor personal injury and damage to the equipment.

• Use the equipment only for its intended purpose.

• Always follow the specific occupational safety and health standards

prescribed for your workplace.

CAUTION! If you relocate an OfficeRight™ DI200 that has the optional Second Sheet Feeder A2 installed, remove it from the Second Sheet Feeder first—that is, as you lift it clear, make sure it fully disengages from the Second Sheet Feeder. Obtain help if necessary.

mark in the filler funnel.

We recommend E-Z Seal® to minimize algae growth and scale buildup.

Slide the moistener back into the machine.

From the dry state, the moistener will take about five minutes to become fully wet and ready for use.

Loading the Sheet Feeders (Feeders A1 and A2)

Sheet Feeder A1 is common to all models and is located immediately below the Manual Feeder M. Sheet Feeder A2 is an option on all models. It allows the machine to insert a second folded sheet into an envelope.

Both feeders are used for sheets that require folding before inserting. Load both feeders in exactly the same way.

Always fan (aerate) sheets before you load them. This prevents them from sticking together.

Then tap the stack of sheets onto a firm surface to align the edges.

Place the sheets into Sheet Feeder A1 or A2 as required.

Loading the Envelope Feeder (Feeder B)

Always fan (aerate) envelopes before you load them. This prevents them from sticking together.

Then tap the stack of envelopes onto a firm surface to align the edges.

IMPORTANT:

Load envelopes right way up and facing you. This means that the envelope flap is on the back of the envelope and at the top. Any other orientation will prevent the machine from inserting properly.

Place the envelope stack into Feeder B with the back envelope flat against the feed belts. There’s no need to “shingle” or stagger the envelope stack.

Slide the two side guides up to the envelope stack then off. Use the blue handles at the rear of the guides when moving them.

The correct setting is achieved when the guides control the envelopes but in no way restrict their feed into the machine or cause them to feed at an angle (skew).

IMPORTANT: If the guides are too tight, envelopes may not feed reliably; if the guides are too loose, envelopes may skew as they feed into the machine.

this feeder to add additional inserts to your envelope that folding by the machine. Feeder C is especially suited to feeding pre-folded or thicker inserts such as business reply envelopes (BREs), response cards and similar materials.

Always fan (aerate) inserts before you load them. This prevents them from sticking together.

Then tap the stack of inserts onto a firm surface to align the edges.

Place the insert stack into Feeder C.

IMPORTANT: The orientation of the insert stack depends on the nature of the material being run. For pre-folded inserts, it’s normally best to load with the “closed” edge feeding first. You can usually load business reply envelopes right way up and facing you. However, if the flaps are pulled open when feeding, try loading the envelopes with the flaps down and facing you.

3. RUNNING JOBS

Chapter 1 explained the main features of the machine and how to use the control panel. Chapter 2 described how to turn the machine ON and load the feeders and moistener unit.

This chapter assumes you understand the content of the previous chapters. It includes illustrations that identify the various jobs you can run on your OfficeRight™ DI200, and then gives a table of quick steps to set up and run each job.

Once you’re familiar with the machine, use this chapter as a quick reference when you have to change a job setup.

The Manual Feeder M is used to feed stapled sets of up to three sheets by hand. See page 28 for an explanation of how to set up and use this feeder.
