SECTION 2 MACHINE LAYOUT GUIDE
2.1
DESCRIPTION OF MACHINE
The function of the 'EasiMailer' is to feed forms from a hopper, fold them in either
'C', 'Z', 'V' or double forward fold and insert them into an envelope which is then sealed and ejected. Further form(s) may optionally be collated with the first form and an insert
(card, cheque etc.) may also be nested into them before inserting. Forms may be folded without insertion, (ie. no envelopes are used), or else folded and inserted without sealing the envelope. Multiple insertions may also be used, ie. a preset number of forms (or combination of forms) are separately inserted into the waiting envelope. There is a batch processing facility, allowing a preset number of cycles to be completed before the machine automatically stops.
The machine is fitted with 2 hopper trays. This allows one or more of the following options: a) Different or similar paper types in each tray.
b) Paper feed from either or both trays.
c) Multiple feeding from any or all trays.
Note that when sheets are collated together, either by constant feed or multiples, the maximum number for folding together should not exceed the maximums stated in the specifications - exceeding these limits will be at the user's risk of lower reliability mailing.
The machine contains 12 programs which allow combinations of settings to be retained in memory. Any program can then be recalled later and immediately run. A number of the programs are factory set, but any one can be changed or renamed by the operator.
No manual setting of the fold plates or closer is required, these being adjusted automatically according to the settings in the selected program.
An LCD display is fitted to the control panel from which all functions and programming are performed and which also provides advice messages should errors occur.

DOUBLE DOCUMENT CALIBRATION
Double document calibration is carried out automatically when a new job is selected.
It is used to gauge the thickness and length of a form by performing one complete cycle. After that, if two or more forms are fed stuck together, they will be rejected and an error will be flagged.
Manual Calibration
It is also possible to calibrate manually, either on all stations or single stations. This should be carried out whenever the paper type changes, either for weight, length or if the print density changes substantially. It will only be carried out on enabled hop-
pers, ie. those that have been set with 'Doubles=on' in the program (see section
3.16 for programming details).
To calibrate on all stations, select 'DD Cal' on the Job Options menu (which may be accessed from the status window by pressing the Enter key):

When the Start key is pressed, a form will be fed from each hopper enabled for double document and inserted into the envelope. The machine will stop and you will then be prompted to confirm that the contents of the envelope are correct, eg:
* CONFIRM NOW! *
Station 1a= [01]
Station 2 = [01]
)
The actual contents of the envelope may vary from the display shown, depending upon the program settings.

Operating Instructions
If all is correct, press the Enter (or Esc) key to clear the message, and then the Start key to begin operating as normal. If any double documents are now detected, the machine will stop and flag an error on the display.
To manually calibrate a single station only
If the paper type is changed on only one hopper, single station calibration can be carried out. To do this, remove all paper from the hopper and reload it. Now press the Single Cycle button and the machine will calibrate this station only in the same way as previously described.
What to do if Double Documents occur
If a double document condition occurs while running, the machine will stop and an error message will appear on the display to advise which hopper it was fed from.
If the document has been fed into the envelope, remove it from the receiving tray and discard it. If it has caused a paper jam, clear this as described on page 28. Then take the following action:
1.
Recalibrate the station concerned, or all stations. Carry on running to see if further doubles occur. If so:
2.
Clean the double document sensors on all hoppers (see page 30).
3.
If doubles occur on hopper 2, reset the separator gap or increment the roller, as described on page 18. If doubles repeatedly occur on hopper 1a, contact the Service Department - the gap may need specialist readjustment.

LOADING THE PAPER HOPPERS
)
Load forms address side up and leading on all hoppers.
Operating Instructions
1. Adjust self-centering side guides to give 1mm clearance across the width of the forms.
2. Depress the hopper tray and load the forms
(maximum 250 sheets in hopper 1). Release the tray. See note below.
3. If hopper 2 is being used, adjust the side guides as for hopper 1 and load the forms, fanned back as shown.
Note: see also page 18 'Adjusting Hopper 2 Separator'
3.9
LOADING THE ENVELOPE HOPPER
1. Adjust self-centering side guides to give 1mm clearance across the width of the envelopes.
2. Raise centre guide and load fanned stack of envelopes (max. 100) into hopper. Ensure the leading edges are pushed firmly into the nip of the rollers. Use the labels on the side guides to help understand the correct loading procedure.
Envelopes are loaded with flaps up and trailing.
Note: Hopper is shown with 2 off Guide Springs B0093A fitted, provided for use with distorted, laser-printed forms. They will also help prevent skewing of the leading edge.
When used, these springs will reduce the capacity of the hopper.

3.10 ADJUSTING HOPPER 2 SEPARATOR
1. Insert a sample of the insert to be fed (paper, card, booklet etc.) between the separator rollers of No. 2 hopper (if necessary, turn the adjustor clockwise to open the gap).
2. Grip the paper and turn the knob until the paper just
'pulls' while being withdrawn.
After a long period of use, a flat wears across the face of the white separator roller, resulting in unreliable feeding. As there are a number of stop positions on the roller, this can be adjusted out.
The roller is located between the side guides. Slide it along the shaft against the spring and rotate it one stop.
When all stop positions have been used, the roller must be replaced.

3.11 SETTING THE INSERT FINGERS
Note: Unless special envelopes are being used, it will not normally be necessary to adjust the insert fingers.
1.
Press the Envelope Feed key to feed an envelope into place.
2.
Open the clam shell.
3.
Slide the outer fingers along the bar to achieve the dimension shown (each side).
4.
If the envelope is not opening properly, advance or retard the envelope position using 'Advanced Options, in programming mode (see page 25).
5.
Close the clam shell and press Envelope Feed to feed another envelope. Open the clam shell and check settings. If all is correct, close the clam shell. When operation begins, the envelope used for setting will be automatically ejected.
3.12 FOLD-ONLY MODE
Fold-only mode is used when it is required to fold documents, but not insert them into an envelope. This is useful if, for example, later hand-insertion into special packages is required. To use the mode, proceed as follows:
1.
Ensure that the selected job has 'Envelopes' set to 'Off' in the program.
2.
Begin operating as normal. Any envelopes left at the insert area will automatically be ejected before continuing with the fold-only mode.

3.13 HANDFEED MODE
Handfeed mode is used for processing short runs of documents which may be of different sizes and types. This also includes 'Daily Post', where a group of forms, which may be stapled, is fed from hopper 1a. This group may be collated with a form fed from hopper 2 (either automatically or by hand), or have an insert from hopper 2 nested into it (see page 5 for full details of handfeed options).
Note: Any staples must be flat-form to prevent roller damage.
To operate handfeed mode, the selected job must have STN1a/2 set to 'handfeed' in the program. To operate hopper 1a in handfeed mode hopper 1a, replace the hopper with the optional daily post item. Press the Start button and insert the form (or group of forms) within 30 seconds.
To operate hopper 2 in handfeed mode, slide the latch (located on the left hand side of the hopper) to the fully forward position and insert the document (1 only) within 30 seconds of pressing the Start button.
Hopper 2 latch
Remember to replace the standard hopper, or slide the latch back when handfeed mode is finished with. The machine will remind you if you forget!
3.14 TURNOVER MODE
Turnover mode is used when a form has a bottom address and is to be half folded.
To ensure the address remains in the window of the envelope, a special Turnover fold plate A2420A is used in place of fold plate 2.
To use turnover mode, open the clam shell, remove fold plate 2 and fit the Turnover fold plate, ensuring the latches are fully closed. The selected job program must have
'FoldType' set to 'T'Over' from advanced settings (see page 25).

SECTION 3.15 SHORT FORM MULTIPLE MODE
Short form multiple mode is for collating forms in fold plate 1 until the required number is reached, then feeding them into an envelope. It will be automatically invoked when forms of less than 150mm length are fed from hopper 1a. Such forms may include statements, paycheques etc. It is only necessary to use this mode when processing multiple short forms.
Other short forms such as cards, cheques, reply-paid envelopes etc. can also be fed from hopper 2. These will then be collated with the forms now in fold plate 1 and fed as a complete group into the envelope. Fold plate lengths will be automatically set by the machine.
Note: Paper weight for short form multiples must be a maximum of 100gsm (24lbs bond). Thicker material such as card between 100gsm (24 lbs bond) and 180gsm
(48lbs bond) can be fed from hopper 2 only.
To use Short Form Multiple mode, Collation Plate A2471A must be fitted. This is located underneath hopper 2, and it replaces the existing plate. To fit, remove the existing plate by pulling downwards to release it, then fit the Collation Plate in its place.

SECTION 3.18 - C5 (16") 'Z' FOLD
This mode allows long-forms, such as 16" European or 14" American Legal forms to be 'Z' folded into a deep envelope. Typically, this might be a C5 (162mm) envelope.
Use of this mode requires a special No. 2 fold plate, part number A2477A. To fit the plate, open the clam shell, release the latch at each side of the existing plate and slide the special plate firmly into place. Ensure that both latches are properly engaged and then close the clam shell.
A new job must now be programmed (or an existing one modified) using the settings shown below - see also section 3.16 for details of how to program.
For STN1A and/or STN2:
Form1a= custom
ENVELOPES= on
EnvLen= 162 (for a C5 envelope - modify to suit if different)
FormLen1A= 406 (for a 16" form - modify to suit if different)
ADVANCED= on
Then from Advanced:
FoldType=
FoldLen1=
FoldLen2= custom
Form Length
4
= 102mm for 16" forms
( Form Length - FoldLen1 ) - 34 = 118 for 16" forms
2
Note that all other settings in the program may be set as required. If adjustment of the address position is required, this is done by altering the first fold length:
To move the address UP in the window, DECREASE FoldLen1
To move the address DOWN in the window, INCREASE FoldLen1
The special fold plate is suitable only for forms of 12" (305mm) length or more - use the standard fold plate for form lengths shorter than this.

CLEARING PAPER JAMS
If a paper jam occurs, the machine will stop and an error message will be displayed describing the approximate area of the machine where the jam will be found.
Note: If the '?' key is pressed, jam clearance instructions will be displayed.
The machine is split into five general areas for paper jams, and these are shown below:
FoldpathArea
Closer Pocket Area
Opener Area
Insert Area
Wetter Area
Jams that have occurred inside the machine can be reached by opening the clam shell - press down on both latches in front of Hopper 1 and raise the upper section.
Pull the form free, close the clam shell and press the Start button to resume running.
Stubborn jams can be cleared by running 'Recover from Jam' in the Job Options menu - see page 13 for details.
If a form is partly fed into the hoppers, it may not pull out backwards. Run 'Flush Nest
Doc' in the Job Options menu - see page 13 for details.
Jams occurring in the envelope hopper can more easily be cleared by removing the feed shaft - reach in and push the shaft sideways against the spring and lift it out.

MAINTAINING THE WETTER SYSTEM
The wetter tank (see page 8 for location) supplies the fluid for wetting the envelope flaps and needs topping up from time to time. It is located on the right hand side of the machine and can be withdrawn by lifting the lower lip slightly and sliding the tank out to the extent shown below. Fill the tank until the level is just above the fin visible in the filling hole. Use only PFE Envelope Sealing Fluid A0276A, as this has been specially formulated for greatly enhanced sealing and antibacterial qualities.
Filling hole
When filling for the first time, or if the sponge has dried out, the wetter beam sponge should be removed and soaked in warm water. To remove the sponge, open the clam shell, raise the wetter beam (located above the tank) and take off the thumbscrew securing the sponge locating plate to the beam. Squeeze the sponge whilst soaking to ensure it is fully saturated. Ensure the wetter beam has been lowered after replacing.
If the machine is to be left unattended for more than a week, it is advisable to remove the tank and drain it.

CLEANING ROLLERS AND SENSORS
Periodically, all rollers, feed wheels and sensors should be cleaned, especially if a long run is envisaged. Use only Rubber Roller Restorer (part no. E0483A), except for the pick- up rollers on the feed and envelope hoppers - these must be cleaned using only a
cloth dampened with water. Clean the full circumference of rubber rollers, feed wheels and conveyors in the area of: a) Insert hoppers b) Envelope hopper (including rollers after the hopper) c) Insert area (open clam shell for access) d) Closer area (open clam shell for access)
Ensure the machine is switched off before cleaning rollers or sensors.
Some of the rollers can be rotated by hand when cleaning. Others may be too stiff, in which case, unload the envelope hopper and press the Envelope Feed key. This will randomly spin the rollers. Close the clam shell and remove all stationery before running. Clean the rollers again and repeat this cycle 2 or 3 times.
When cleaning the rollers, the sensors should also be cleaned by blowing away dust and debris using the supplied airduster. It is important that sensors are regularly cleaned,
or operating errors may occur. Sensor locations are shown below and a description of how to access is shown on the following page. Note that each sensor is in two halves
- receiver and transmitter. Both halves must be cleaned. Use only non-flammable airdusters, such as supplied by PFE (part no. A0070A).

Gaining access to the sensors
To clean the sensors effectively, direct the jet of air as close to the sensor or its entry hole as possible. Remember to clean both halves.
Hold Point/Double Document sensors - Hoppers 1a
Pull out hopper 1a. The sensors are located at the bottom of the tray, one either side of the central roller. Direct the nozzle in the gap between the two halves.
Hold Point/Double Document sensors - Hopper 2
The sensors are located in front of the white separator roller, one either side. Direct the nozzle under the white roller shaft and into the gap between the two halves.
Fold Plate 1 sensor
Pull off the fold plate shield by gripping the lipped edge with the scale on it - the plate is magnetically retained. The sensor can be seen at the bottom of the fold plate.
Deskew sensor
The sensor is located at the bottom of the envelope hopper, to the right of the four central rollers.
The following sensors require the clam shell to be opened for cleaning:
Envelope at Insert/Stuff sensors
The lower halves are located behind the four central black rollers. The upper halves are in the middle of the tie bar across the width of the upper section.
Envelope Track sensor
The lower half is located at the back of the opening, to the left of the two black rollers. The upper half is on the stub bar on the left hand side of the upper section.
Collate Trigger sensor
Release the latches of fold plate 2 and remove it. Pull down the hinging plate above it and the lower half of the sensor will in the middle of the plate with the upper half above it. Ensure the latches are fully secure when replacing fold plate 2.
Eject sensor
The lower half is located at the front of the opening, in the middle of the tie bar across the width. The upper half is in front of fold plate 2, accessed through the diamond-shaped hole.
