under 5/8in. (15.9mm) thick.

over 3.5 in. x 5 in. or under 13 in. x 10 in.

under 10 lbs.

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 Appendix C, Specifications in this guide.

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