ABSTRACT:
A method for synchronizing the feeding of an insert by a first drive mechanism with a sheet feed by a second feed mechanism and the first feed mechanism is disclosed. The method includes the steps of placing the sheet in operable contact with the second feed mechanism at a first position, traversing the sheet sequentially with the second feed mechanism and the first feed mechanism, advancing the sheet toward a second position in cooperation with a first sensor adjacent one of the first feed mechanism and the second feed mechanism, placing the insert in operable contact with the first feed mechanism at a third position subsequent to the first sheet being in cooperation with the sensor, and advancing the insert into a fourth position within the first feed mechanism positioned closely behind the sheet positioned at a fifth position within the first feed mechanism.
