IMPORTANT: Machine configurations may vary. Some features
and options may not be available. This operator guide covers all
models and features. However, inclusion in this guide does not
guarantee the availability of a particular model, feature or option.
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.

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

downstream feeders should feed. A downstream
selectable feeder will feed if the mark is present
on all pages of the control document.
Selective feedA function that instructs the inserter system to
select material from specied feeders. This is
controlled by select feed OMR marks.
SetOne or more items assembled together.
SheetA paper item, folded or unfolded, taken from a
stack of material.
Sheet FeederA feeder tray that accepts sheets only. The
sheets are loaded one on top of another.
Sheet SetA collection of sheets or pages, usually dened
by the user. A sheet set is made up of sheets only
(inserts are not sheets).
ShingleTo align sheets or inserts such that they overlap,
but are not directly above one another (like shingles on a roof). Shingling is required for reliable
feeding of some material types.
Single sheetOne sheet of paper.

SlipA type of insert, generally a single-thickness docu-
ment that ts into an envelope without folding.
StackerAn output device that stacks nished mail pieces
in an orderly fashion. Gravity stackers stack materially vertically. Power stackers usually stack
material in a horizontal, shingled stream.
Tabbed InsertA 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 MarkAn 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 FeedThe process of feeding material from the top of a
stack. This is a more common method than bot-
tom feed.
Top FirstA feed orientation in which the address or top line
of printed material feeds rst.
Top ScanningScanning from a reader located above the paper
path; reading marks printed on the top sheet.
Trailing EdgeThe last edge of a piece of material to enter or
leave a paper handling system. Contrast with
Leading Edge.
TrayA removable part of a feeder that holds material.
Stackers can also have trays. Feed trays are usually equipped with adjustable side guides that conne the material to be fed.
Trial PieceAn unsealed mail piece sent through an inserting
system to check that machine setup is correct and
mail piece integrity is good.
Uncollated SheetRefers 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.

User InterfaceThe controls and display that allow a user to inter-
act with a machine, computer or software application.
WedgeSometimes 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-FoldA sheet folded in thirds. See C-Fold and Z-Fold.
WindowA 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-FoldA fold type where a sheet is folded in thirds with
ZIPAn 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 ofce boxes.
