Preparing Your Mail

This chapter explains how to use the “Key In Postage” mode. It’s the quickest and easiest way to run a piece of mail or print a postage tape.

Use this mode if:

You know your postage amount.

All envelopes are the same size.

You are printing postage on postcards.

For instructions on other available modes for running your mail, refer to Determining the Correct Postage Mode section in Chapter 4 in this guide.

For tips on feeling light weight or bulky pieces of mail, flats and postcards, or any mail that is easily damaged, refer to Tips on Feeding Mail in Chapter 4 in this guide.

1.Remove any onion skin/airmail type envelopes, Tyvek® envelopes, en- velopes that are thicker than 5/8” or any pieces of mail that are outside the limits specified for mailing materials - see Specifications in Appen- dix C of this guide for details. Print the postage for this type of mail on tape.

2.Sort the mail by envelope size. If you are using the accounting feature, sort by account as well.

3.Shingle the envelopes so they are slanted slightly to the left as shown in the picture on the right.
