The Feed Thumper (a rotating cam shown in Figure 4-8) helps to jog the
mail for improved feeding.
8. The Feed Belt pulls the mail into the retard assembly where it is singulated
(separated one at a time).
9. The envelope then passes under the cutter where it is cut if desired.
10. The envelope is then passed through the counter sensor and counted
(the mail is always counted even if it is not cut).
11. The envelope then moves into the mail output tray.
12. Once the Envelope Feed Hopper is empty, empty the output tray.
13. To continue processing, repeat the above steps.
