Hasler Introduces M7000 Folder/Inserter For Easy Processing of Larger Mailing Projects.

Saves money; handles all mailings quickly and accurately in house

SHELTON, Conn. -- Managing your larger and more complex mailing tasks is far easier now with the introduction of Hasler's new M7000 Folder/Inserter. This robust, automatic folder/inserter system boosts productivity by enabling busy offices and mail centers to process peak mailings fast, reliably and with unprecedented ease at a rate of 4,000 filled envelopes per hour.

The M7000 lets you take advantage of the most improved productivity features available today, eliminating the frustration of cost increases and the lack of control associated with outsourcing larger mailing projects. With the M7000's PowerFold technology, you can collate and fold up to ten pages, then neatly insert and seal documents in a single pass, stapled or loose. This allows you to automate all your mailings, including letters, checks, cards, invoices, statements, marketing materials - even pre-folded flyers.

"The M7000 Folder/Inserter has been designed to help mail centers gain control of mailroom operations while enhancing productivity," says Hasler's Sr. Director, Marketing, John Grogan. "Its combination of flexibility, ease of use and technology features will dramatically improve both the accuracy and the bottom line of mail communications."

Features that makes a difference

M7000's easy "Fill and Start" feature means you simply load your documents and envelopes and initiate the job. The M7000 automatically calculates the size of the documents and sets the correct fold. All job settings and program operations are controlled from a reversible, color touch screen, with an easy-to-read LCD display that prompts your operator.

The versatile M7000 can be configured with two-, four- or six-feeder stations and customized to meet your specific needs. All six multi-functional FlexFeed[R] feeder stations can handle short inserts from 3 u" x 5" to full sheets up to 14" in length. And special feeders can also be set up to accommodate a variety of items like glossy and thin stock. Plus, an optional high capacity feeder can be added to hold up to 325 Business Reply Envelopes (BRE), Business Reply Cards (BRC) or 1,200 full sheets for high volume applications. The M7000 allows cascade production feeding, so the next feeder tray starts when the prior tray runs out. This feature enables the machine to process in excess of 2,800 pieces unattended, and empty feeders can be reloaded on the fly without interrupting the job for virtually limitless runs.

The M7000 is equipped with an automatic Double Document Detection (DDD) system that ensures the correct number of inserts per envelope. This feature always ensures the integrity of the finished mail piece.

Optical Mark Recognition (OMR) software options ensure correct collation 

Optical Mark Recognition software allows the M7000 Folder/Inserter to process sensitive jobs with varying numbers of pages easily and accurately. Hasler's unique software options enable the printer to generate the OMR marks necessary to perform these mailings. The combination of these state-of-the-art features prevents you from sending personalized documents to the wrong addressee. The user can designate any feeder as the OMR station, maximizing job flexibility.
