Strip Cut: |
 |
Documents are cut into thin unreadable strips.
Generally the strips will be the length of the
document. |
|
|
Cross Cut: |
 |
Documents are cut in two directions producing
small particles. The size of these particles
offer greater security and are self compacting,
which reduces overall bulk. |
|
|
High Security: |
 |
Engineered to meet the demanding requirements
for Top Secret data destruction. High Security
shredders are perfect for military, Federal,
State and local government agencies as well as
defense contractors. |
|
|
Feed Width: |
|
The size of the opening where paper is inserted
into the shredder. |
|
|
Capacity: |
|
The number of 8 1/2" x 11" sheets of paper that
can be shredded at one time. Generally shown as
two numbers, the first using 20 lb paper and the
second using 16 lb paper. These numbers are only
a guideline. Paper quality, type of paper and
atmospheric conditions can effect the capacity
rating. |
| |
|
Shred Size: |
|
Also referred to as particle size, it describes
the overall dimensions the paper is reduced to.
Shown as one number for Strip Cut models and two
numbers for Cross Cut models. |
| |
|
Speed: |
|
Shown in "feet per minute", the number is
determined by shredding continuous forms and
calculating the length of paper shredded over a
given time. |
| |
|
Motor: |
|
Measured in horsepower, it is the available
shredding power that is calculated from the
wattage specifications of the motor.
|
| |
|
Auto On/Off: |
|
Shredding action starts automatically when paper
is inserted into the feed opening and stops
after the paper has been completely shredded. It
is controlled by the paper contacting a
mechanical sensor or by breaking a light
barrier. |
| |
|
Bag Full-Auto Off: |
|
When the waste bag or bin reaches a pre-set
level, a sensor turns the shredding action off.
This is accompanied by an audible and visible
warning. This feature is available on select
models. |
| |
|
Auto Reverse: |
|
To help prevent paper jams, the shredder will
automatically reverse, momentarily, if an
overfeed occurs. This is accompanied by an
audible and visible warning. This feature is
available on select models as part of the
complete electronics package. |
| |
|
Waste Capacity: |
 |
Measured in gallons, it is the volume of paper
that the waste bag or bin can hold. |
