Bowes Equip-

You can use the following Pitney Bowes equipment with your mailing sys-
tem:
DJPS/DMPS Power Stacker
This provides a larger area for stacking imprinted envelopes. (Optional.)
Mail Machine Interface
The Mail Machine Interface (MMI) enables communication between the
DI900™ and DI950™ FastPac® Inserting Systems and the DM800i™
Series Digital Mailing System via a USB connection.
The DI900™/DI950™ sends start and stop signals to the mailing system,
and the mailing
system can send error messages back to the inserter to
stop feeding.
If the mailing system is overcome with mail, it can pause the inserter to
prev
ent it from producing any additional mail pieces, process the mail
pieces on the feeder, then signal the feeder to resume once it has
caught up.
When the mailing system is in the mainten
ance mode, it will pause the
inserter, then signal the inserter to resume once maintenance is com-
plete.
If you want to operate the mailing system in a stand-alone mode, press
the
Stop key on the IntelliLink® Control Center. The DI900™/DI950™
inserter will finish creating any mail pieces in process. Press Start (at
the mailing system) to finish processing any pieces of mail on the
feeder. Then, refer to your operating guide for your mailing systems for
instructions on processing mail.
Contact your Pitney Bowes Account Representative fo
r more informa-
tion.
NOTE: Once you have completed processing mail in stand-alone mode,
press the Stop key
