Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0943461A1] Disclosed herein is a document inserter including an insertion station (120), feed means (240) for feeding an envelope to the insertion station along an envelope feed path (244), a stop (16) arranged in the envelope feed path for arresting the fed envelope in a predetermined position at the insertion station. The stop is adjustable in position for adapting the insertion station to envelopes of varying size (height). For this purpose, input means (133), such as a keyboard, are provided for enabling an operator to input data defining a stop position. In addition, control means (132) are operative to adjust the stop position in accordance with the input data. Preferably, the stop (16) is carried by a support assembly (118) and can be pivoted upwardly to provide access to the insertion station. <IMAGE>
