FP FPi folder inserters for the office and the mailroom

While other work keeps you busy, the pile of letters and invoices waiting to go out gets bigger. The FPi 700 feeds, folds, inserts and seals them from three media feeders and an envelope hopper, and it is small enough to live on a desk.

It stores 15 jobs behind a touchscreen, processes over 39 different jobs including custom sizes, perforated and pre-folded paper and large envelopes, and can produce a three-panel brochure without inserting it into an envelope.

The FPi 2300 is built for small to moderate mail volume: bills, statements, reply envelopes, newsletters and direct mail. Simple touchscreen controls and up to three automatic feeder stations handle a range of paper and envelope sizes, and stapled sheets go through the manual feeder.

Four configurations: the FPi 2310 with one automatic station, the FPi 2315 and FPi 2320 with two, and the FPi 2325 with two document stations plus an enclosure feeder and optional OMR for multi-page invoices.

The FPi 2800 is the current small-business series inserter. Its feeders measure the thickness and the length of every sheet that goes through them, so the machine knows when two pages have stuck together and will not put the wrong documents in an envelope.

It collates and aligns a set before folding it, the trays take a wide range of paper types and sizes, and FP builds it in six configurations. If you are running an FPi 2700, this is what took its place.

The FPi 4500 series finishes documents as letters in #10 or 6 by 9 envelopes and stacks them. The FPi 4520 has two feeder stations, the upper one a 725-sheet high-capacity unit; the FPi 4530 has three. Both use a color touchscreen with up to 25 programmable jobs.

Fill & Start measures the envelope and document sizes and sets the machine; Real Sheet Control measures thickness to catch double feeds; a document collator aligns sets before folding. Options include a MaxiFeeder, a special station for glossy or heavy paper, OMR, and a vertical high-capacity stacker or a side exit to a postage meter.

The FPi 4800 stretches the value of your mailroom's folding and inserting with simple, quiet, reliable mail production. Smart Feeders, document reading and document feed detection, which measures the thickness and length of the media in each feeder, make sure the right documents go into the right envelopes every time.

With a fully customizable job setup it suits variable-page invoices and statements, letters, notices, marketing pieces, and one- or multi-page mailings.

The specification sheet FP publishes for this machine is the FPi 4700 brochure below; the two share a data sheet.

Engineered for higher-volume daily operation, the FPi 5600 feeds documents from up to six stations, folds them, inserts and seals, and can be expanded with more document stations at any time. Finished envelopes go to a bin on either side, to an optional vertical stacker, or to a downstream machine.

A 5.7-inch color touchscreen runs it with three buttons for on, start and stop. Mixed daily mail, multi-sheet feeding, double-feed detection, feeder swap and OMR reading through a contact image sensor are built in or available.

The FPi 5700 turns a mail center into a strategic asset: up to 4,000 envelopes an hour from up to six feed stations, a suite of features for productive and secure mailings, and a user experience built for uninterrupted production.

It reads Datamatrix and linear barcodes, OMR and OCR, so it knows how many pages belong to each recipient. A MaxiFeeder adds capacity and media options, smart feeders handle different document sizes, and knife-fold technology folds up to 10 sheets accurately.

The FPi 5130 uses the tower design of FP's production inserters: a four-feeder tower that can be set up for envelopes, sheets or inserts, with an optional high-capacity sheet feeder to add capacity and accumulation speed. A straight paper path keeps media flowing in one direction, even when feeding multiple sheets from the same tray.

The control panel plays on-screen videos that show how to load paper, inserts and envelopes. Optional 2D and 1D barcode and OMR reading assembles variable-page sets automatically and securely, without manual intervention.

The FPi 6700 raises the bar for complicated mailroom processes. It is fully customizable, so you build the configuration that runs your business-critical mailings, and its matched feeder and exit capacities let the mailroom run continuously with little interaction.

Two high-capacity exits hold up to 1,500 finished envelopes. Everything the FPi 5700 does, the FPi 6700 does faster and with a seventh station.
