2.1.1
Feeder (1)
The feeder is the feeding part of the system. There are two types of feeders available: the
automatic and the special feeder. The automatic feeder does not require any adjustments
for the separation. The feeder is equipped with double feed control. In this way the system
can detect faulty sets of documents. The feeder is equipped with hopper swap. This means
that two feeders can be linked as pairs. When the first feeder is empty, the system
switches to the other feeder. Meanwhile the other empty feeder can be refilled without
stopping the system. It’s also possible to feed multiple documents from one feeder. In this
way more documents can be fed from one station, for example an original and a copy of a
document.
The upper automatic feeder is equipped with a “daily mail” function for processing
documents or sets of documents which cannot be processed automatically (e.g. stapled).
2.1.2
Collating Area (2)
After feeding, the documents are gathered and aligned in the collating area.
2.1.3
Folder (3)
The folder unit folds the documents. The following fold types are possible (see
“Terminology” on page 54):
•
No fold
•
Single fold
•
Letter fold
•
Zig-zag fold
•
Double parallel fold
2.1.4
Envelope Feeder (4)
The envelopes are picked up and transported to the insert position inside the system.
2.1.5
Inserter (5)
After folding the documents are transported to the inserter unit where the documents are
inserted into a waiting envelope. The inserter then seals the envelope.
