The FPS
Flexible Productivity Series Inserter
A perfect match of speed, flexibility and integrity
The Pitney Bowes FPS
Series Inserter sets a new stan-
dard for processing all types of transactional and direct
mail. The FPS
Series combines Speed, Flexibility and
Integrity – all in one high-powered, productive platform.
It’s fast
Processing letters at speeds up to 14,000 per hour – and
flats up to 9,000 per hour. You can even run both letters
and flats on the same system for added efficiency or as a
sure-fire backup to help meet your tough SLA deliverables.
It’s flexible
From 1-100+ page collations in one envelope, to ultra sen-
sitive paper inserts and misshapen envelopes – the FPS
system handles it all. Now you can process a wide range of
insert materials from booklets to coupons – even “onion
skin” 401K reports. And, with multiple mail piece finishing
options, you have a total flexible inserting solution.
It’s all about integrity
With scalable integrity from output scanning to full-scale
file-based processing. The FPS
system offers options
for basic mail piece quality assurance to total automated
job reconciliation.
With Pitney Bowes APS
Series
technologies inside, the FPS
system joins our family of high
productivity inserters. It has the
power for high performance.
Advanced diagnostics for
optimized system and operator
performance
The Healthcare Monitor
incorporates Pitney Bowes
APS
technology to ensure
optimal performance of servo
motors, photo cells, wiring,
paper path and monitoring and
analysis
On-board diagnostic tools
provide component and system-
level analysis
Remote diagnostic capability

to achieve the flexibility, productivity and scalability required to meet your high volume mailing needs.
