Preparing Your
Mail
This chapter explains how to use the “Key In Postage” mode. It’s the
quickest and easiest way to run a piece of mail or print a postage tape.
Use this mode if:
• You know your postage amount.
• All envelopes are the same size.
• You are printing postage on postcards.
For instructions on other available modes for running your mail, refer to
Determinin� the Correct Posta�e Mode section in Chapter 4 in this guide.
For tips on feeding light weight or bulky pieces of mail, flats and postcards,
or any mail that is easily damaged, refer to Tips on Feedin� Mai�� in
Chapter 4 in this guide.
2. Sort the mail by envelope size and weight. If you are using the ac-
counting feature, sort by account as well.
3. Shingle the
envelopes so they
are slanted slightly
to the left as
shown in the
picture on the
right.
1. Remove any onion skin/airmail type envelopes, Tyvek® envelopes, en-
velopes that are thicker than 5/8” or any pieces of mail that are outside
the limits specified for mailing materials - see Specifications in Appen-
dix C of this guide for details. Print the postage for this type of mail on
tape.
