German term

Fehlabzug

German to English Tech/Engineering Printing & Publishing Newspaper mail room insert bundling
Fehlabzüge der jeweiligen Anleger führen dazu, dass alle folgenden Anleger gesperrt werden und das entsprechende Produkt von der Einsteckmaschine ausgeschleust wird

I am looking for the right term. The closest I have come is take-off for "Abzug" but I am not sure of that. Anleger = feeder and Einsteckmaschine = insert machine.

miss

A „Fehlabzug“ is a copy that should have been inserted but wasn't - that's called a miss, i.e. „ A miss at any of the feeders ... that the inserter will discard the product [to the reject chute].“ Usually, there is a reject chute, but that's not in the German sentence.

In your context: Abzug is the process of picking up a piece of printed matter. The insert is literally pulled from the stack, vom Stapel ->abgezogen.
Note from asker:
Thanks for the excellent response. Since Fehlabzug is miss, what is Abzug?

Peer comment(s):

disagree Klaus Herrmann : Technically wrong. Don't let the word "abzug' msiguide you - there is no extraction or removal, the abzug refers to a copy that the feeder fails to pick up.

Thanks Klaus, I am aware that Abzug can also mean print copy; however, the rest of the text confused me to think something had been removed by error. From your explanation I understand the error was that something was NOT removed. Thanks for the info
disagree Steven Sidore : Klaus is right here.
