3.5.1. Jobs
A job is a collection of the parameters the Eagle uses for processing mail. The
jobs set up by your service technician describe how your system will process
your mail in the same manner from run to run.
The Eagle scans documents and checks and stores the information it collects
in batches, which consist of one or more transactions (a check and a stub). If
your Eagle system has the IEM functionality installed, you can also send the
information the Eagle collects to another computer for further processing.
Every action the Eagle performs to process your mail is set up in the specific
job’s parameters.
3.5.2. Factors affecting processing rates
Length of document
The Eagle operates at a maximum track speed of 160
inches per second. The rates quoted above assume an envelope length of
7.75 inches and a document length of up to 7.5" to provide a good fit within the
envelope. Shorter envelopes and documents will enhance throughput rates;
longer envelopes will degrade the throughput rates, since fewer envelopes can
pass through the machine in a given period of time.
Paper quality
Quality in document construction has two components: (1) the
content and construction of the paper itself, and (2) the consistency with which
each document is printed, perforated, and cut to size.
Paper basis weight 24 pound white wove (virgin) paper provides optimum
performance in most applications. A decrease in paper basis weight usually
means a decrease in the stiffness of the paper. This can result in a higher jam
rate and poorer performance. The Eagle system is designed to run best using
envelopes and documents manufactured from paper with a basis weight of 20
to 24 pounds.
Recycled paper has less stiffness for a given basis weight than white wove
(virgin) paper. This can generate excessive paper dust, and may degrade
performance.
