5.5.1 Batching

Batching allows a preset number of filled envelopes to be processed before the machine

automatically stops. From the Run Job menu, select the job you wish to set a batch for, and
press

. This displays the Status screen, which will be in ‘Ready’ mode. Now press x and

a list of options will be shown. Select ‘Batch Count’, and you will enter the batch screen, as

shown below.

For ‘Batch’, select ‘Auto-restart’ (machine will pause for a set length of time and then restart

- see below for ‘Pause time’) or ‘Pause’ (machine will stop and will only restart when the Run

button is pressed).
Enter the required quantity in the batch.
‘Jog Step’ allows a gap between envelope batches to be set on the conveyor. The units

shown are multiples of the envelope overlap, as adjusted by the knob on the conveyor. This

means a suitable gap can be set without disturbing the knob.
‘Pause Time’ is the number of seconds before the machine auto-restarts.

Batch settings ap-

ply only to the job

you are in when

settings are made,

not to the machine

itself.
