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 prevent 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 maintenance 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.

NOTE: Once you have completed processing mail in stand-alone mode, press the Stop key
