Tips on
Feeding Mail
► Presealed Envelopes:
If you are using presealed envelopes, make sure you press the Seal
key on the IntelliLink® Control Center and select Sealer off or the en-
velopes will jam.
► Pieces of mail that are 5/8" thick:
If you are running pieces of mail that are each 5/8” thick, you must run
them one piece at a time. Do not stack them on the feed deck and at-
tempt to feed them automatically - they will jam.
► Puffy mail:
Be sure to compress all "puffy" mail before placing it on the feed deck.
► Portrait flats or light, easily damaged mail:
You may want to reduce the speed at which the pieces of mail travel
through the machine. To do this, press the Mode key, then press the
right arrow key ( speed ) to change between normal and reduced speed.
► Any mail with the flap on the opposite side:
For mail where the indicia is located on the side opposite of the flap
(the flap is on the bottom of the mail piece), make sure the mail is
completely sealed before processing the mail in the WOW™ mode as
shown below.
► Postcards:
You may want to process postcards using the reduced speed mode.
Remember to use the Key in Postage mode for postcards.
