About Barcode Scanning
Barcode applications support mailpiece integrity by ensuring proper mailpiece assembly. Barcodes
contain specific instructions about your mailpiece and can be printed on the front of your primary sheet
set. Information like record number, page number, and page total can be contained in the code.
How 2D Barcode Scanning Works
2D barcode scanning is an optional feature. If your machine is equipped with 2D barcode scanning, a 2D
barcode camera takes a picture of the barcode and then decodes the information to create instructions
for building that particular mailpiece.
When the barcode sheet is fed, the information in the barcode gets sent to the inserter. The inserter
checks this information and verifies that the correct sheet is fed and inserted into the envelope. If a sheet
is skipped or if the sheets get out of sequential order, the inserter stops processing and displays an error.
Barcode Scanning Jobs - Feeding and Folds
l
Sheet Feeder 1 (the top feeder) holds the sheets with the barcodes printed on them for C-folds
and double-folds.
l
Sheet Feeder 2 (the bottom feeder) holds the sheets with barcodes printed on them for Z-folds
and single-folds.
l
Multiple sheets can be inserted into an envelope with barcode scanning. The number of sheets
inserted into an envelope is determined by the information in the barcode.
l
An additional sheet or insert can be fed from other feeders with barcode scanning.
l
When processing sheets using single fold, the set size can be adjusted to enable the processing of
heavier sheets.
NOTE:
The Relay 2500 can process C-folds and double-folds with barcode scanning.
