About Running Mail

If you intend to run pieces of mail through your system, read About Run- ning Mail below. If you are going to print postage tapes, read About Print- ing Postage Tapes in this section.

Then, proceed to instructions for selecting the mode and running the job.

Refer to Chapter 12, Specifications in this guide to make sure your mail is compatible with your mailing system. For tips on feeding light weight or bulky pieces of mail, flats and postcards, or any mail that is easily dam- aged, refer to “Tips on Feeding Mail” in this section.

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 theenvelopes 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).
