FPi 5000 Inserting system
FPi 5020
FPi 5000. The new standard for adaptability and ease of operation. For more productive mailing operations. FPi 5040
With fill & start comfort function
FPi 5060
FPi 5000. Gets top marks in every mail inserting discipline. Adaptability. Productivity. Ease of operation. Those are the hallmarks of the new FPi 5000 inserting system. FPi 5000 is the innovative answer to increasingly complex mailroom demands: Save time and money as the FPi 5000 delivers reliable mail processing.
The new FPi 5000 inserting system processes single or multiplepage mailings, invoices, personalized letters – quickly, reliably, economically. Its modular construction allows the FPi 5000 to easily adapt to every customer's special requirements and mail volume. The FPi 5000 can be equipped with two, four or six automatic feeding stations – stations may also be added, two at a time, as your mail processing needs grow. Each of the (up to six) stations can automatically feed documents and supplements (like flyers, postcards, reply envelopes, brochures).
FPi 5000 Inserting system
The optical marks reader (OMR) function allows individualized document selection and substantially increases the range of processing options. Depending on requirements, the FPi 5000 can process up to 3,500 letters per hour when running C6, DIN-long, or C5 envelopes. Innovative folding technology enables the FPi to fold up to 8 documents simultaneously. Optimal processing security is provided by sensors that detect double-fed documents and measure the thickness of the documents being inserted. These security features are supplemented by the divert & go function that diverts suspect document sets. An interactive display and unique comfort functions like fill & start make mail processing a pleasure. Compact and quiet, the FPi 5000 fits into every office environment.
Features and options
FPi 5000. Solutions as needed.
Variofeed stations can handle a diverse variety of documents or envelope-sized supplements (postcards, reply envelopes, flyers etc.). Miscellaneous daily-mail can be manually fed from the top station.
The modular design of the FPi 5000 makes it possible to configure the system according to every office's specific current needs, while leaving room for expanded capabilities as those needs grow. Depending on the number and type of document feeding stations, the FPi 5000 is available in three basic models:

Special stations feature a manual separation setting for handling documents and brochures made of heavy or treated paper (DIN A6 or larger). Customer-specific solutions Position and quantity of both types of stations can be configured according to each customer's specific mailprocessing needs. Maxifeeder (optional) Provides maximum productivity with a loading capacity of up to 1,200 sheets of DIN A4 (80 g/sq.m) or 325 return envelopes or flyers. Multi-sheet function Feed, fold and insert up to 8 sheets of material drawn from any combination of stations. Swap mode When all feeder stations (including Maxifeeder) are combined, draw material from alternating stations to fill individual envelopes. This effectively increases the load capacity when processing one-page documents. Offers continuous operation with no need to frequently reload material. Central control panel All functions are controlled from a central, easy-to-use interactive panel featuring a graphic display and six function keys. Pictograms and English instructions guide the user through the selection of job settings (like document combinations, types of folds, fold position, document alignment, address position, etc.).
Outstanding features for convenience, adaptability, and security
Settings can be changed at any time. Up to nine frequently used job configurations can be programmed for instant selection. A help-key opens text instructions to assist in the selection of settings, programming settings or remedying handling errors. Optical Marks Reading (OMR) OMR line-code recognition makes it possible to assemble personalized mailings (like invoices), to select the optimal combination of supplements to fill envelopes to the maximum allowable weight, or to divert extra-copies away from the envelope.
fill & start
fill & start Just fill the stations and start the job. The fill & start comfort function achieves new levels of convenience. No programming whatsoever is necessary to insert loaded documents into envelopes. Once the function has been selected, the machine automatically measures document and envelope sizes, makes the correct settings and begins operation. Standard letters can be processed with astonishing ease.
Document collecting station A new kind of collecting station gathers documents of varied sizes and formats and aligns them evenly before they are folded.
Double-feed control for maximum security: real sheet control + insert control Control features provide maximum operating security to make sure every envelope is complete and correctly filled. Each station is outfitted with real sheet controls using an electro-mechanical sensor to measure paper thickness and make sure no material is double-fed. The inserting station features insert control to measure the thickness of the entire set of documents. These systems help prevent erroneous diagnoses that simple doublefeed control can produce (due to document color differences or print characteristics). If a double-feed occurs, the machine stops. The automatic double-sheet control can be disengaged for individual jobs, or at selected feeder stations.
Envelope collector The FPi 5000 is equipped with a standard stacker for finished envelopes. Two alternative envelope stacker options make it possible to increase the collecting capacity of finished envelopes, or to transfer finished envelopes to a downstream postage meter.
eight in one FPi 5000 features a powerful, yet remarkably quiet folding mechanism that can simultaneously fold up to eight documents of varied sizes. Materials may be loose, or stapled together. When changing a job, all folding settings are automatically adjusted to perform the selected steps.

Folding shell construction The sensible clam-shell design offers quick access to material transport passages, making it possible to retrieve jammed materials in a snap and intact.
Perfection even in details: Each station is equipped with self-cleaning rollers to guarantee reliable, low-maintenance machine performance.
