The transport deck accepts material from the feeder lower and moves it
through the various modules to produce a finished mail piece. The standard
transport deck consists of the following:
Transport Deck
Material from the feeder trays comes down the feeder tower in a pre-defined
order. Material moves rapidly from one station to the next in the transport
deck to produce a finished mail piece that is dropped into a stacking bin
or onto an optional high capacity output stacker. A brief description of the
function of each module in the paper path is presented next.
Mail Piece Path
Pre-fold
Accumulator
The pre-fold accumulator is the first stop in the paper path. The pre-fold
accumulator is a stacking place for the material that needs to be collated
and folded. When the appropriate components for one mail piece finish
collating on the pre-fold accumulator, they move into the folder.
