Abstract: A sheet feeder apparatus and method with throughput control. By varying the speed at which sheets are fed from a supply, the sheet feeder apparatus and method assures that the throughput capacity of a downstream operation is never exceeded. Speed is varied based upon the length of the sheets being fed. Furthermore, the sheet feeder apparatus can have worn components replaced quickly and by operators of minimal skill level.

Abstract: A selective outer envelope inserting system includes a multiple station inserter and a multiple outer envelope collator mechanically coupled to the multiple station inserter. The multiple station inserter includes a plurality of hoppers containing inserts. One of the hoppers contains a control piece insert. The control piece insert includes a machine readable code such as a bar code that is scanned by a scanner. The scanner is interfaced with a control such as a microprocessor that controls the various hoppers to select a variety of combinations of inserts thereby determining the contents within each envelope. The multiple outer envelope collator includes a plurality of envelope hoppers, and the envelopes in each hopper differ from the envelopes in the other hoppers. The control is interfaced with the collator to control the operation of each individual envelope hopper. Through the code on the control piece, a specific envelope may be selected for each combination of inserts.
