Some
production jobs require a separately fed cover which contains personalized
data (such as an individual name and address) which must ‘match’
the data printed on the inside sheets.
 The
optional BCR-102 cover matching system, uses a code reader fitted
in the Smart-binder cover feeder. As each cover is fed from the bottom
of the pile the code reader reads a 2-D Datamatrix code printed
on the outside of the cover. This Datamatrix code contains an ID number
which is unique to that particular cover.
The inside sheets arriving from the web cutter (or sheet pile feeder)
are also coded. These sheet codes also contain an ID number which
is unique for each booklet. A separate reader mounted on the Smart-binder
infeed (or in the sheet pile feeder) reads these inside sheet ID numbers.
If cover and inside sheet IDs match the cover is folded and placed
on top of the collated set of inside sheets to form a complete and
correct booklet with 'matching' cover.
If the cover and inside sheet IDs differ the Smart-binder stops and
the control screen indicates a cover 'mismatch'. The operator must
regain correct cover sequencing before the machine is restarted.
The cover matching system BCR-102 may be added to all existing
or new Smart-binders that have a cover feeder fitted.
 Cover
cut-out windows
As an alternative to the BCR-102 cover matching system, covers may
contain a 'cut-out window' which allows personalized details printed
on the first page of the inside sheets to be visible from the outside
of the booklet.
A special extra guide is available to allow the covers with cut-out
windows to feed reliably from the cover feeder.
