Status Area
The status area displays information about the task(s) you are performing. This area contains any or all of the following: · Mail Piece Icon Tree · Item Orientation · Options · Data across the bottom of the screen (Home screen only) –
batch count, piece count, and User ID
Mail Piece Icon Tree The Mail Piece Icon Tree gives a road map of icons to visually help guide you through how a mailpiece will be put together and processed. · It displays an icon for each component in the mail piece and a fold icon,
if the material is to be folded. · The icons are arranged in the order in which the mailpiece components
will be collated. The outer envelope icon shows at the top of the tree. · A letter appearing alongside the icon designates the Feeder Tray
assignment; a small blue droplet icon indicates that the seal feature is enabled. · The Mail Piece Icon Tree is located on the left side of the screen in the status area. · Each icon has one darker edge, either at the top or bottom, that indicates the leading edge of the material. The leading edge is the edge that feeds into the machine first. (For example, a sheet that must be loaded face up with the top of the sheet leading would be represented by a “face-up” sheet icon containing a “leading edge” line on top.)

· A feeder assignment letter is placed alongside the icon to indicate the feeder tray the material is loaded into. Two or more feeder assignment letters alongside a single icon indicate that feeder trays have been linked. The material should be loaded in all the feeder trays indicated. During a job, when one feeder tray is empty, the feed will automatically switch to the next linked feeder tray, in a continuous cycle.
· If double detect is in use, the double detect icon appears to the left of the relevant icon.

Mail Piece Icon Tree Example
In the Mail Piece Icon Tree, each icon displays important information about the mail piece component it represents. The following diagram identifies information conveyed by the icon and how it assists you in loading and running a job.
G
Window envelope loaded flap down, flap last. Envelope sealing turned on, loaded
into Feeder G.
C Fold selected.
Top address loaded face up, fed top first, C loaded into Feeder C. Double Detect is on.
Additional Sheet – (no address) loaded B face up, fed Top first loaded into Feeders B
D and D; Feeders B and D are linked. (Linked trays will always be on the same side of the
tower.) Double Detect is on.
A
Reply envelope loaded flap side down, fed flap first, loaded into Feeder A.
* In the example above, the top address, additional sheet and C fold icons represent a set. That is, the Top Address and Additional Sheets are accumulated together, into a collation and the C Fold is applied to the collation.
* An insert (see the Reply Envelope icon) always appears as a single set within the Mail Piece Icon Tree.
NOTES: · Lines connecting the icons indicate the way the mail piece is assembled.
The outer envelope is at the top of the icon tree. · Making any change to the job settings can cause the feeder tray assignments to
change in the Mail Piece Icon Tree. · Any time the job set up changes, be sure to check the Mail Piece Icon Tree for
changes in the feeder tray assignments.
