User interface

The user interface of the inserter exists of two menus; the

"main menu" and the "job" menu. These menus are

accessible via a personal pin code.
• The "main" menu is accessible for all operating personnel

and the supervisor. In the main menu jobs can be selected

and performed. After selecting a particular job, all

modules will be set automatically according the job data.

• The "job" menu is only accessible by an authorized user,

the "supervisor", via the supervisor pin code. In the job

menu jobs can be programmed, deleted etc. In a job the

settings of the modules within the system (type of

envelopes, type of documents, type of fold and way to

sort) are recorded. There are more functions in the job

menu. For a description of the job menu see the “Guide

for job menu”.

The service engineer has access to all menus.
The system can be started, stopped or cleared by pressing

the concerned key located below the display of the inserter,

see section 4.6 page 6.
When a stoppage occurs, the IN-3 operator panel

automatically signals the operator and gives a suggestion

about solving the problem. See chapter 7 and 8.
