Important Safety and Compliance Information
Important Safety Notes
Follow the normal safety precautions for all office equipment.
l Please read all instructions before you attempt to operate the system. Save these instructions for
future use.
l Use only Pitney Bowes approved supplies, in particular aerosol dusters. Improper storage and use
of aerosol dusters or flammable aerosol dusters can cause an explosive-like condition that could
result in personal injury and/or property damage. Never use aerosol dusters labeled flammable
and always read instructions and safety precautions on the duster label.
The primary power for the unit is provided by a power cord
l Use the power cord supplied with the machine and plug it into a properly grounded wall outlet
that's located near the machine and easily accessible. Failure to properly ground the machine can
result in severe personal injury and/or fire.
l The power cord wall plug is the primary means of disconnecting the machine from the AC supply.
The unit is on whenever it is plugged into a live receptacle (and the switch in the back of the unit is
in the ON position), even though the operator display may be blank.
l Place the mailing machine base close to an easily accessible wall outlet. DO NOT use a wall outlet
controlled by a wall switch or one that is shared with other equipment.
l Do not use an adapter plug on the line cord or wall outlet.
l Do not remove the ground pin from the line cord.
l Make sure the area in front of the wall outlet into which the machine is plugged is free from
obstruction.
l DO NOT route the power cord over sharp edges or trap it between pieces of furniture. Make sure
there is no strain on the power cord
Safety
Pitney Bowes Operator Guide August 2019 6
DC power for network connectivity functions is provided by an external
AC/DC power adapter
l Use only the AC/DC power adapter provided with this equipment. Third-party adapters may
damage the equipment.
l Plug the adapter into a wall outlet.
l DO NOT use a wall outlet controlled by a wall switch or one that is shared with other equipment.
l Do not wrap the adapter cable over sharp edges or trapped between furniture.
l Be certain the area in front of the wall outlet into which the AC adapter is connected is free from
obstruction.
l To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, DO NOT attempt to remove covers or disassemble the
control panel or its base. The cabinet encloses hazardous parts. If you should drop or otherwise
damage the unit, call Pitney Bowes.

l Avoid touching moving parts or materials while the machine is in use. Before clearing a stall (jam),
be sure machine mechanisms come to a complete stop.
l To prevent overheating, do not cover vent openings.
l When removing stalled material, avoid using too much force to protect against minor personal
injury and damage to the equipment.
l Use the equipment only for its intended purpose.
l Always follow the specific occupational safety and health standards prescribed for your workplace.

Operator Panel
1. Power Switch - This is a rocker switch with indicator light. Press the top in to turn the Stacker on.
Press the bottom in to it turn off.
2. Speed Adjustment Knob - This speed adjustment allows the proper amount of spacing between
mail pieces so they do not overlap. Turn clockwise to increase speed and counterclockwise to
decrease speed. Using the proper speed the reduces the possibility of ink smudging of the printed
address. Refer to the Appendix to help you determine this value if necessary.
3. Auto/Manual Switch - there are two modes:
l Auto mode (switch is up) - Stacker operation is controlled by the printer. In this mode, the
Stacker belts move when the printer is feeding mail pieces. If the printer is out of paper, has a
jam or tray break, it stops the Stacker. If the Stacker is full, the printer and Stacker both stop.
NOTE: When power is switched to the On position and Auto mode is selected, the Stacker will
not run until the printer operation begins.
l Manual mode (switch is down) - the Stacker runs constantly (independent of the printer).
4. Stacker Full Light - This LED flashes when the Stacker ramp is full, based on the setting of the
"stack full" sensor. Lift the hold down assembly to clear the material, and then lower it to resume
operation.

1. Input Media Stop - This plate is adjusted so that mail pieces from the printer hit this stop and drop
flat onto the conveyor belt. The height adjustment handles materials of varying thicknesses.
2. Hold Down Assembly - These springs and rollers are adjusted to keep the mail pieces in contact
with the conveyor belts.
3. Material Ramp Media Stop - This stop is adjusted to retain media at the end of the Stacker.
4. Material Ramp - The angle of this ramp can be adjusted to accommodate various widths of
material when stacking.
5. "Stack Full" Sensor - This sensor is adjusted so that the mail pieces stack in an orderly sequence
for retaining presort order and it stops the printer when the Stacker is full.
Stacker Controls and Indicators
Pitney Bowes Operator Guide August 2019 13
Connector and Side Panels
The illustrations above show the Stacker connectors and fuses.
1. Trip Sensor connector - This is where the cable from the "stack full" sensor is connected. This
activates when the Stacker is full.
2. Printer Interface connector - This is where the interface cable coming from the printer is
connected.
Stacker Controls and Indicators
Pitney Bowes Operator Guide August 2019 14
3. Circuit Breaker - If pieces jam in the Stacker, the circuit breaker causes the Stacker to power off
automatically. After the jam is cleared, you must press the circuit breaker switch to reset the
Stacker before you can resume operation.
4. Fuses - Two 1.6 Amp Slo Blow 250 VAC fuses.
5. Dryer Outlet - This is a convenience outlet to be used with the optional Ink Dryer.
6. Power Inlet - This is where the input power cord is connected for the Stacker.
Warning! The Dryer with Stacker combination draws a substantial amount of
power. Note the wattages of other appliances you plug into the same outlet or
branch circuit and compare that with the rating of the outlet or branch circuit to avoid
overloading your electrical system.

Optional Stand for Power Stacker
The illustration above shows the location of these stand components.

printer or to operator level.
2. Casters (in circles above) - allows for easier movement of Stacker. Two are locking casters for
holding the Stacker in place.
