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 Printing 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.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.

3.Shingle the envelopes so they are slanted slightly to the left as shown in the picture shown at right. Place the stack of mail on the feed deck shown in thepicture below. DM900™ Only: If you have AutoStart enabled, do NOT place the mail on the deck until have made all your selections 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.
