1-3SV61656 Rev. A
1 • Introduction
Processing speed will vary, depending on machine configuration. See Specifications in Chapter 4 for further details.
Some models are equipped with OMR (Optical Mark Recognition) scanning.
An OMR mark is normally a dark solid line on a sheet of light colored paper that is perpendicular to the direction of paper travel. This line must be thick and dense enough to trigger the system’s OMR scan­ner.
The scanner, working with the OMR system software, checks for one or more different OMR marks on a document as it feeds through the system. Tracking of these marks enhances mail piece integrity by assuring that documents that belong together (a set) stay together throughout the inserting process.
OMR-equipped models have scanning heads located on each of the sheet feeders.
Instructions for using OMR functions appear in Chapter 3 of this guide.

2 • Operation
Select a Job
When the machine is turned ON, the display shows the last job run and “Trial Piece Required”.
Press the Job button until the job you require is displayed, or press Default if you want to run the machine with your standard job settings.
Note: Only a Pitney Bowes Service Representative can modify the default job.
If you have material loaded, press Trial Piece. The machine sets itself and runs a test piece for you to check.
If you don’t have material loaded, do this now, then return to this section. Loading feeders and re­lated instructions are covered on pages 2-4 to 2-7.
Note:
You may have selected a manual feed job where sheet feeder 1 is set for manual feed of collated sets. If this is the case, DO NOT load the sheet feeder; you will feed collated sets one at a time by hand as required by the machine.
For manual feed jobs, pull back the lever as shown in the illustra­tion, right. This opens the feed mechanism, making it ready for manual feed operation.
Remember to return this lever to its normal position when you use the feeder for automatic opera­tion.

Run a Trial Piece
Once material is in place, press Trial Piece so you can check that setup is correct.
You can make minor changes to the job settings at this stage if the trial piece needs fine tuning. Enter setup as described on page 2-9, then use the Prev (◄), Next (►) and Change (+/-) buttons as required to modify job settings. When you’ve made the necessary changes, press Setup again to return to run mode. The inserter saves the job with the new settings.
Notes:
1. When using linked feeding,* load both sheet feeders before run­ning a trial piece.
2. If you load material during a run which seems to have different characteristics (weight, color shade, etc.), or if you have any problems with double detection, run another trial piece. This forces the machine to recalibrate the double detect function for the new material in case the batches vary slightly.
Start Machine Operation
Press Start to begin automatic operation.
The machine runs until either material runs out or you press the
Stop button.
Note: If the machine is set for linked feeding, the display shows: 1 > 2 > 1
This confirms that feeding will automatically switch between sheet feeders. See page 2-13 for more details.
* “Linking” is a method of using two feeders such that when one feeder
runs out of material, the next “linked” feeder automatically starts feeding. Linking feeders allows you to process a higher volume of material before reloading. Linked feeders are sometimes referred to as “cascading” feeders.

OMR Availability
Your machine may be equipped with Optical Mark Recognition (OMR) scanning, depending on the model you purchased.
All models have 20 Operator programmable jobs plus one default job your Pitney Bowes Service Representative normally sets.
What is OMR?
An OMR mark is normally a dark solid line on a sheet of light colored paper that is perpendicular to the direc­tion of paper travel. This line must be sufficiently thick and dense to trigger the OMR scanner on the system.
The OMR scanner, working with the OMR system software, checks for one or more different OMR marks on a docu­ment as it feeds through the system. The tracking of these marks enhances mail piece integrity by assuring that sheets which belong together actually stay to­gether throughout the entire inserting process.
Use the Prev () and Next () buttons to step forward or back­ward through the settings available. Once the item displays, use the
Change (+/-) buttons to select the option you want.
Typical OMR marks
A Brief Overview of OMR on Your Machine
One sheet feeder holds sheets with OMR marks:
• Sheet feeder 1 for C-fold and double fold applications
• Sheet feeder 2 for Z-fold and single fold applications The sheet feeder holding the sheets with OMR marks can feed mul-
tiple sheets per envelope.
The sheet feeder not holding OMR sheets can hold supplementary sheets that you can place under the selective control of the OMR sheets.
3-1SV61656 Rev.A
3 • OMR
You can also set up the insert feeder to be under the selective control of the OMR sheets. As a result, you can use OMR to fill an envelope with a variable number of sheets from one feeder, with or without a supplementary sheet and an insert.
A supplementary sheet and folded insert will be nested with the first sheet in the envelope. Because OMR allows each envelope to contain tailored contents, the last sheet in the envelope will include address information for use with windowed envelopes to ensure that each set of sheets is addressed to the correct recipient.
OMR on this system uses extensive error checking. This means insertion accuracy is very high: the probability of the wrong set of sheets being inserted into an envelope is low.
Levels of OMR on the System
Basic OMR enables you to collate multi-page documents that vary
in number of sheets. It allows you to vary the number of pages per envelope in a run from one envelope to another through the use of OMR marks. The machine will fold each OMR sheet separately and insert it into an envelope, starting with the last sheet of the set and adding each folded sheet in turn until the address sheet has been inserted. The machine will then eject the envelope after sealing (if selected).
Enhanced OMR allows you to stop feeding sheets at selected points in a run and/or to select whether the other feeders are used. It also provides a higher level of mail piece integrity so that sensitive docu­ments are not sent to the wrong customer.
OMR Mark Positions
To enable the inserter’s OMR scanners to read the printed OMR marks, the marks MUST be positioned within a defined range of po­sitions on the page.
Standard OMR positions are given in the diagram on page 3-4.
Offset OMR positions allow the marks to be positioned further down
the page. Specifications are given in the diagram on page 3-5. To use Offset OMR, you must select one of the offset OMR functions when programming the OMR job. See page 3-10 for full details.

OMR Specifications
The mark must be a solid black line between 1pt and 2pts thick (0.014 inch [0.35mm] to 0.027 inch [0.7mm]) and at least 0.393 inch (10mm) wide.
Each mark position must be evenly spaced and at least 0.118 inch (3mm) apart.
An area around the marks should be kept clear from print and any other marks that might be read by the scanner in error. This area is called the clear zone.
There should be no print on the opposing face of the sheet immedi­ately behind the clear zone.

OMR Marks Available
This section gives brief descriptions of the OMR marks that can or must be allocated to an OMR Code.
Note: Some marks within this section are available as added features which expand OMR capability. Contact your local Pitney Bowes office for details. OMR features will vary, depending on the options you purchased.
Benchmark
This is a mandatory mark. It must be the first mark of the code and will appear on every page within the set.
Safety
This is a mandatory mark that improves the integrity of your mail piece. It is automatically placed immediately after the benchmark.
End-of-Collation (EOC)
This mark indicates that it is the last sheet fed within the collation/set (the address sheet).
Your system operates on the absence of this mark, that is, the action will take place if the mark is NOT read by the scanner. It is therefore indicated on the OMR code as Not EOC.
Beginning-of-Collation (BOC)
This mark indicates that it is the first sheet fed within the collation/set.
Your system operates on the absence of this mark, that is, the action will take place if the mark is NOT read by the scanner. It is therefore indicated on the OMR code as Not BOC.
Parity
This mark is a security feature, that when printed, always makes the number of marks total an even number. If any one of the marks within the code is missed during scanning, the machine will stop, allowing the operator to correct the error.
3-6 SV61656 Rev. A
OMR • 3
Retiming Mark
This mark is mandatory in each group of OMR marks making up the code (see later in this section for an explanation of OMR mark grouping).
It allows the machine to recalibrate for accurate scanning. Retiming marks count in the parity calculation.
Select Feed (SF1, SF2)
These marks are used to control the feed of material from the feeder holding the supplementary sheets/inserts on a set-by-set basis. Therefore you cannot use select feed on a single station machine.
Select Feed 1 marks are used in the primary sheet feeder to select material from the supplementary sheet feeder. For C- and double folds, the primary feeder is sheet feeder 1. For Z- and single folds, the primary feeder is sheet feeder 2.
Select Feed 2 marks are used in the primary sheet feeder to select material from the Insert feeder. For C- and double folds, the primary feeder is sheet feeder 1. For Z- and single folds, the primary feeder is sheet feeder 2.
Auto Batch
This mark identifies the last set of a batch, when the batch function is in use. It must be printed on all sheets of the OMR set that re­quests this function.
Wrap Around Sequence (WAS1, WAS2, WAS3)
This is a numbering system which uses sequential binary coding. If a page is missing or the set goes out of sequential order, the system will stop processing and declare an error.
Three wrap around sequence marks are used within the code. The use of three binary digits allows a decimal count of 0 to 7. Pages will be numbered from 0 up to 7 and then back to 0 on a continuous cycle throughout the print run.
3-7SV61656 Rev.A
3 • OMR
OMR Mark Grouping
Each OMR code begins with two fixed marks at the end nearest to the sensor (benchmark and safety mark). These are followed by one, two, or three groups of marks where each group comprises three data marks followed by a fixed mark. Each data mark is present or absent as required to reflect the function desired. Each code must end with a retiming mark.
Basic OMR mode uses only Group 1.
Enhanced OMR mode uses Group 1 plus Group 2 and/or Group 3, as needed for a particular job.
C-Fold and Double Fold Jobs
Place marks in the upper left corner of the sheet. Print marks in top­to-bottom order:
Feed Direction
Benchmark (fixed)
Group 1
(Mandatory)
Group 2
Group 3
Safety (fixed) Not EOC Not BOC Parity Retiming (fixed) Select Feed 1 Select Feed 2 Auto Batch Retiming (fixed if this group is in use) Wrap Around Sequence 3 (WAS3) Wrap Around Sequence 2 (WAS2) Wrap Around Sequence 1 (WAS1) Retiming (fixed if this group is in use)
Print sheets in reverse collation order. In this way, the last sheet processed in each set is the address sheet and the first sheet pro­cessed is the last of each set.

Fold a sheet of material in half and measure the distance from the side of the form to the middle as shown.
For an A4 size form, this measurement is 105mm. For a letter-size sheet (8.5 x 11 inches), it is 108mm.
Now measure the distance from the edge of the form to the middle of the scan dash marks, as shown. Then subtract this mea­surement from the half-fold measurement.
Example:
For an A4 size form, the half fold measurement is 105mm.
If the distance from the edge of the form to the middle of the scan dash marks is 10mm, the scan­ning head setting will be 95mm (105mm minus 10mm).
Loosen the knurled locking knob and set the relevant scanning head to the correct setting.
Retighten the locking knob.

Tabbed Insert A pre-folded insert whose open edge is closed by
a sticker or piece of tape. The material used to secure the closure is called a “tab.”
Timing Mark An OMR mark used to reset the timing between
marks. In some inserter systems, the timing mark is required to read a long control code sequence reliably.
Top Feed The process of feeding material from the top of a
stack. This is a more common method than bot-
tom feed.
Top First A feed orientation in which the address or top line
of printed material feeds rst.
Top Scanning Scanning from a reader located above the paper
path; reading marks printed on the top sheet.
Trailing Edge The last edge of a piece of material to enter or
leave a paper handling system. Contrast with
Leading Edge.
Tray A removable part of a feeder that holds material.
Stackers can also have trays. Feed trays are usu­ally equipped with adjustable side guides that con­ne the material to be fed.
Trial Piece An unsealed mail piece sent through an inserting
system to check that machine setup is correct and mail piece integrity is good.
Uncollated Sheet Refers to a stack of sheets in which all pages are
identical. As an example, all sheets may be page 1 sheets. Contrast with collated sheets, where the printed content of each sheet is different. For example, a collated set may contain page 1, page, 2, page 3, and so on.

Term Denitions
User Interface The controls and display that allow a user to inter-
act with a machine, computer or software applica­tion.
Wedge Sometimes referred to as a material prop or
sled, a wedge raises the feed angle of a stack of material. It’s designed to help shingled stacks of material feed reliably. The position of the wedge is operator-adjustable.
Tri-Fold A sheet folded in thirds. See C-Fold and Z-Fold.
Window A cut-out portion of an envelope that allows the
address to show through. The window may be open (not recommended for mechanical inserting systems) or closed with clear glassine or polysty­rene.
Wrap-Around Se­quencing
Z-Fold A fold type where a sheet is folded in thirds with
ZIP An acronym for Zone Improvement Program. A
A numbering system that starts on the rst page of a print run, which is sequential throughout the run. The marks can be set to check for either as­cending or descending sequence. If one of these is chosen, then the collation sets must occur in the correct sequence or the machine will stop mail processing and declare an error. This feature pro­vides an additional level of document processing integrity.
the top and bottom panels facing opposite direc­tions. Also known as an accordion fold. The fold looks like the letter “Z” when viewed from the edge.
Zone Improvement Plan (ZIP) Code is the numeri­cal code assigned by the US Postal Service to designate a local area or entity for the delivery of mail. ZIP Codes may consist of 5, 7, 9, or 11 digits, and may refer to a street section, a collec­tion of streets, an establishment, a structure, or a group of post ofce boxes.
