Description

About the Quadient DS-85i

The Quadient DS-85i folder inserter is designed for businesses that need to automate a wide range of document sizes and types, handling them all with ease. It comes standard with barcode reading technology that automates variable-page jobs and adds a layer of security, helping ensure the correct documents always reach the right recipient.

A color touch screen with automatic job setup makes the DS-85i extremely user-friendly — load your envelopes and documents and it adjusts the necessary settings, then saves them to memory for easy recall. The intelliDeck can automatically divert document sets that exceed 10 pages or need special handling while the system keeps running. An optional CIS scanning device reads 1D barcodes, 2D data matrices, and QR codes, with optional closed-loop mailpiece verification for piece-level integrity.
