Summary:This invention relates to a method for determining a setting condition of an apparatus for assembling mail items from mail components, and to an apparatus for assembling mail items from mail components. In determining a setting condition of an apparatus for assembling mail items from mail components () it is detected, in a setting phase, in which of a number of feeder stations () of that apparatus mail components () are present. Feeder stations () in which mail components are present are automatically brought into an operating condition, and feeder stations () in which no mail components are present are automatically brought into a non-operating condition. As a result, at the start-up of the apparatus, on the basis of the loading thereof, it is automatically determined which station is to be brought into an operating condition and which are to remain standby. An apparatus specifically arranged for practicing the proposed method is also described.
