ABSTRACT:
A method and system for selecting fold lines on a sheet to be inserted into a windowed envelope includes scanning the windowed envelope with a scanner to determine the location of the window on the envelope. The location of a data block on an insert to be inserted into the windowed envelope is also determined. The position of one or more of the fold lines on the sheet to be inserted is determined such that a data block printed in the determined location on the sheet will appear behind the envelope window when the sheet is folded in accordance with the determined fold line pattern and inserted into the windowed envelope. The efficiency and flexibility of the system can be enhanced by providing an operator with possible standard and nonstandard fold patterns that will enable proper insertion of the folded sheet into the envelope. In such case, when the sheet is folded with the selected fold pattern and inserted into the envelope, the required data block information will appear behind the appropriate envelope window. The paper handling equipment adjustments for the selected fold type and proper loading of the insert materials into the insert feeders can be communicated to the operator or used to automatically adjust the folding mechanism for the selected fold pattern. Additionally template information can be generated by the system to provide the operator with information on the proper location for the address block information on the sheet in order to position the address information behind the window in the envelope for a selected standard fold type.
