Mail

1. Sort the mail by envelope size and unless you are using the optional

WOW module, sort by weight also. If you are using the accounting fea-

ture, sort by account as well.

2. Shingle the envelopes

so they are slanted

slightly to the left as

shown in the picture

on the right. 

3. Place the stack of mail on the feed deck shown in the picture below.

• Place the envelopes with the flaps down and against the rear wall.

• Make sure the envelopes are pushed far enough so that they cover

the feed sensor on the rear wall.

4. Adjust the side guide so it is close to, but not touching, the bottom edge

of the envelope stack. 

Be sure and leave a slight clearance between the side guide and enve-

lopes (about 1/16 inch clearance).
