OVERVIEW
The Widmer Model RS Rotary Stamp is designed to perform multiple imprinting jobs.
Including but no limited to, cut sheet and laser check signing, check endorsing (meets
the Federal guide lines for both depositors and banks), document counting, label
printing, dating and fixed wheel numbering. Additionally the model RS-ETV will also
emboss a seal into you document. As the RS is a bottom feed unit there is no change
in the order of the documents as they are processed by the machine. The operator
can also add documents to the hopper as the job progresses which increases the
speed and efficiency of the operation. The RS also has an energy saving feature in
that it turns off its feed motors if no documents are fed in a half a minute.
Security is achieved by the following measures:
1. Executive key for the case lock so only an authorized person can insert and
remove the signature die.
2. Signature die easily removable for storage in a safe.
3. Operator key.
4. Resettable transaction counter
5. Non-resettable cumulative counter
6. Optional tri-color ink roller, to inhibit duplication
7. Optional wavy line background on the signature.
8. Optional text, such as title of the signer (ie. Vice president) or limiting text
(ie. “not valid over $5,000.00”)
The RS can be used as a document counter for total counts or to segregate into
numerical batches such as units of 50 or 100. The operator can turn off the print
function when counting only is desired. Some models can have a second print drum
and ink roller added.
Some models (RS-D) have a numerical date mechanism and can be used to date
documents and for endorsing checks. Other models (RS-MN) have manual set
number wheels.
All Models have an adjustable gap setting to select the proper thickness of the items.
Turning the knob opens and closes the gap between the stripper and the feed roller.
The proper setting is so that the thickness of a single sheet will pass but two sheets will
not pass.
The proper location for the document is centered on the feed rollers. Horizontal guides
control side to side movement. The guides can be slid into proper position by
loosening the knobs on each side. The sheets of paper lay across the lip on the
bottom of the guide. Sheet sizes ranging from 2 7/8” by 2 7/8” to 15 1/2” by 16” can be
fed through the RS.
