6. Adjust the thickness adjustment knob to
adjust for envelope thickness. For thicker
pieces of mail (3/8” to 5/8”), or mail con-
taining several inserts, use the thick mail
setting. For mail containing only single in-
serts, or for postcards, use the normal mail
setting. Refer to the figure on the right.
To pick a setting, turn the knob to the arrow
located on the feed cover.
7. Make sure you have sufficient funds in
your postage meter. If the message “Low
Funds” appears on the screen, make sure
you can complete the mail run with the
funds you have. If you do not have enough
funds, see Chapter 6, Addin� Posta�e in
this guide.
5. 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).
