Preparing Your Mail

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

Use this mode if:

•You know the postage amount.

•All envelopes are the same size and weight. (DM900 Only: envelopes must be same weight, but may be different sizes.)

•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 the Tips on Feeding Mail section in Chapter 4 in this guide.

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

2.Sort the mail by envelope size and weight. If you are using the account- ing feature, sort by account as well.

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

3.Place the stack of mail on the feed deck shown in the picture below. DM900 Only: If you have AutoStart enabled, do NOT place the mail on the deck until have made all your selec- tions and are ready to run mail..

Slot

•Place the envelopes with open flaps in the slot. Any envelopes that are already closed are unaffected by the moistening process.

•Lift the back stop to its “up” position for larger mail.
