Managing inserts

Pre-printed sheets, for example marketing material, can be included in the envelopes. You can take these inserts into account when calculating the total number of sheets in an envelope.

Weight equivalents table

If the inserts are printed on different paper quality than the sheets used for the output documents, you must specify weight equivalents for the inserts to count the total number of sheets correctly.

A weight equivalent is the weight of the insert divided by weight of the standard sheet. For example, if the weight of the standard sheet is 15 grams, and the weight of the insert is 30 grams, the weight equivalent is 2.

Weight equivalents are defined in a weight equivalents table, which is a table resource in a resource set connected to the runtime configuration. The table must contain two tab separated columns. The first column lists insert trays. The trays are defined by Insert mask in the OMR settings, see Defining OMR codes. The second column lists the weight equivalents for each insert. The maximum value is 16.

Note:

You do not have to include weight equivalents equal to 1 in the table.
