5.2 Opening letters along one edge
Open a stack of letters as follows:
5.2.1 Depending on the length of the letters to be opened,
position the letter collecting tray (12) a suitable
distance away from the letter opener. For optimal
stacking of C5 or smaller format letters, position the
letter collecting tray (12) at a slight angle to the letter
opener, as shown. For letters larger than C5, position
the letter collecting tray (12) parallel to the letter
opener.
5.2.2 Knock the stack of letters (maximum stack height = 80 mm, load correspondingly fewer heavy
and/or C4/B4 letters) against the slitting edge on the table, to shift the letter contents as far
away as possible from the slitting edge (see also remarks under 5.1).
5.2.3 Gently tap the stack of letters against the table surface with the slitting edge facing down, to
align the letter edges together.
5.2.4 Rest the stack on the feed table (5) and slightly fan it
with the slitting edge flush against the rear panel, and
slide it over the letter release lever (6).
The motor starts running (acoustic signal).
Letters are automatically pulled in by the twin
transport belts (7) under the slitting mechanism,
opened and then stacked in the letter collecting
tray (12).
5.2.5 Continue loading the remaining letters.
The motor shuts off automatically about two sec-
onds after the last letter has been opened.
5.3 Opening letters along two edges
To open letters along both long edges, first proceed according to working steps 5.2.1 | 5.2.5. Then
repeat working steps 5.2.2 | 5.2.5 to open the letters along their opposite long edges.
Pull apart the two sides of the envelope, and the letter contents will drop out of the envelope.
5.4 Opening letters along three edges
For three-sided letter opening, first proceed according to the working steps described under 5.3 (open-
ing letters along their two long edges). Then proceed as follows to open them along one of the short
edges:
1.
Fold-up the letter guide (8) and withdraw it to fit the
long edge width of the letters to be opened. Attention:
the edge stop needs to be positioned flush with the
letters, but not so as to prevent them from flowing
freely through the transport belts and under the slitting
mechanis.
2.
Feed the letters to be opened according to working
step 5.2.4.
Envelopes may now be unfolded and the letter
contents removed.
Attention! Opening letters along three edges works for C6/5, C5 and B5 letter formats, or similar.
