Optionally this function can be combined with split set. Then

document sets that contain a number of sheets up to twice

the actual overflow counter setting, will be folded and

inserted in the "small" envelope, whereby, depending on

the number of sheets, the set is temporary split in two groups

during the folding process. If a set exceeds twice the actual

overflow counter setting, it will not be folded and it will be

inserted in a "big" (C4 size) envelope. Via service, in the set

up menu an internal set limit counter can be set to a

maximum of documents that are allowed to be inserted, as

desired by the customer. If a set exeeds this number, the

AS-1A will consider the set as an overflow and will indicate

error 60.
To allow processing of thicker sets that are to be inserted in

"big" envelopes, the system can decide to temporary split

up these sets in two parts during the transport to the

collating area of the TR-7A. This depends on the number of

pages within the set and the value of the internal set limit

counter.

If the system encounters a combination of selection criteria,

it will react as follows: the 'big' envelope will be selected if

at least one these criteria indicates the use of a 'big'

envelope. The criteria are evaluated in the following order:

number of pages in a set, OMR hopper selection mark,

selective feed mark.

Per job, service can set the AS-1A options for either "split

set, Automix

or the combination of these functions. The

operator can then activate or de-activate this functionallity

using the key K, see fig. 11 page 5/12 of the AS-1A

operator manual. The function is active in case yellow led L

is on. In the job data menu the programmed settings will be

displayed below the AS-1A symbol.

Error 60

Error 60 means "Split set too big" and is an overflow

message in case documents are split up in parts. This error

can also appear in case Automix

is active and the set

exceeds the "set limit counter". The part of the set that is

located in the exit track can be removed by pressing key K

(see fig. 11 page 5/12 of the AS-1A operator manual).

Now the AS-1A can behave in two ways:
• if the material is partly ejected but held by the exit rollers,

only these pages should be removed. Pages that are

located on the TR-7A transport track belong to the

previous set and should not be removed.

• if the material is fully ejected onto the TR-7A transport

track, so on top of the pages that are already on the

track, these pages belong to the same set. All material

should be removed.
