Feeding Mail or Printing Tape?

1.If your mail requires no application of postage, see Chart C on the fol- lowing page to choose your mode.

2.If your mail requires postage, you must determine if you can print di- rectly on your mail.

You can feed mail if your pieces of mail are:

•under 5/8 in. (15.9 mm) thick.

•over 3 in. x 5 in. or under 13 in. x 11 in.

•under 5 lbs. or 10 lbs. depending on the capacity of the optional scale.

•not too thin (such as fliers, or Tyvek® envelopes) or too fragile (such as air mail and onion skin envelopes) to pass through the feeder.

•Meet the other requirements for mail feeding listed in Specifica- tions, Mailing Materials in Appendix C in this guide.

3.If your mail meets the above requirements for feeding, select the ap- propriate mode from chart A below.

4.If your mail does NOT meet the requirements for direct printing, you MUST print a postage tape. Select the applicable postage mode from chart B on the following page.
