ABSTRACT:
An inserter comprising feeding a sheet in a path of travel, a first module for suspending feeding of the sheet, a folder module located downstream from the first module, a second module located downstream from the folder module, a conveyor module located downstream from the folder module and upstream from the second module and a microcontroller. The second module for detecting a jam. The conveyor module for conveying the sheet and for sensing the presence of the sheet. The microcontroller in operative communication with the first module, the folder module, the conveyor module and the second module. The microcontroller for: (a) signaling the conveyor module to stop conveying the sheet when the second module detects the jam; (b) signaling the first module to continue feeding the sheet in the path of travel when the conveyor module senses the trailing edge of the sheet; (c) commencing a count of a fold time interval when the first module continues to feed the sheet in the path of travel; (d) determining if the fold time interval count is less than a threshold time interval; and (e) signaling the conveyor module to terminate operation if the fold time interval count is not less than the threshold time interval.
