Fast and Powerful

The standard feeders hold up to 325 sheets apiece, and the High-Capacity Document Feeder can hold up to 725 sheets. Cascade mode maximizes output by linking several feeders that are filled with the same document.  With this method, when one feeder empties, the following one automatically begins feeding, for a total capacity of 2,025 sheets.

Adaptable

The unique modular design of the Formax 6604 Series enables upgrades that allow any business to meet their frequently-changing business needs.  Documents up to 14” long, including invoices, reply envelopes and checks can be inserted in nearly any combination.  It is capable of folding and inserting top, middle and bottom-addressed documents into top-flap envelopes**, and is able to handle glossy or thick stock using specially-made feeders.  This series uses advanced inserting capabilities with a standard 725-sheet High-Capacity Document Feeder, with up to 2 optional production Feeders that can contain 1,200 sheets or 325 BREs each, an optional Thin Booklet Feeder for as many as 325 inserts, and High-Capacity Envelope Hopper for up to 1,000 envelopes.

Smart

Detectors located at the feeder and the insertion area identifies double-documents to ensure that these are not fed into the system.  The Formax 6604 Series uses electromechanical detectors that function with any print density, thickness, paper dust, or paper color.  Documents that need special handling or inspection can be diverted instantly into a diversion station without interrupting the production of the system, to allow for inspection.  An optional Optical Mark Recognition (OMR) and Barcode Recognition (BCR) feature new Contact Image Sensor (CIS) scanning technology that scans the full document, providing increased document design flexibility while reducing setup time between applications with codes in different positions.  Optical Mark Recognition (OMR) and Barcode Recognition (BCR) allow for the automatic insertion of multi-page documents, depending on the mark, which eliminates the tiresome task of manually collating and inserting.

Energy Efficient & Easy to Use

A 10.4” color touchscreen allows users to operate the device intuitively, and can be re-positioned for optimal viewing at any angle, regardless of the operator’s height.  The new AutoSet™ feature allows adjustments to fold length, fold type, envelope size, paper length and double-document detection are set automatically.  Up to 25 jobs can be programmed by the operator, including the option to seal envelopes.  A top-loading envelope hopper and feeder cascade mode optimize operator efficiency and increase productivity.  New energy-efficient features place the user in standby mode after 1 hour without activity.
