Documents can be read by means of scanners, cameras, or dynamic OMR sensors interfaced to Kern’s standard Oculus software. All of the common types of code are readable: barcode, datamatrix, OMR and OCR.

Reading on the fly is possible. The reading area can include the entire front and back of a document. This capability is ensured by an open reading area, which allows for FullPageScan, as well as other, upcoming reading methods.

The Kern 996 comprehensively monitors the logical flow of documents and intervenes immediately in the event of a fault.

Additional options:

• Reading devices and software (described above)
• Additional grouping table
• Longitudinal middle strip removal
• Funnel for vacuuming away waste from longitudinal and transverse cuts
• Waste bin for strips removed by transverse cuts
• Communication interface to roll unwinder

The optional grouping table (3 ½" - 16") provides an additional performance boost. It acts as a buffer, thus enabling the cutter to operate at full speed.

When blank sheets are being processed, an optional diversion unit at the grouping table serves to reduce the number of rejected mail pieces.

Changes due to technical developments are possible.
