9.2 Poor Tab
Placement Or
Appearance

9.2.1 Tab
Placement Is
Inconsistent

If tab placement on mail pieces varies during the
same run, check to see if mail pieces are feeding
straight. Make sure the paper guides on your feeding
device are set against the sides of the stack of mail
pieces. If mail pieces can move sideways between
the paper guides, they will not feed straight.

To check your tab placement:

1. Hold a stack of tabbed mail pieces. Make sure all

edges are straight and even, and all tabs are on
the same side.

2. Look at the tabbed side of the stack. If the tabs

do not form a straight line down the stack, the mail
pieces are moving sideways as they enter the FD
260.

3. Set paper guides correctly and securely on the

feeding device.

9.2.2 Tab Fold Is
Uneven

If tabs are not wrapped evenly around mail pieces,
(Figure 9.3) either the PEEL PLATE position needs
adjustment. or the Tab Size switch setting does not
match the tabs being used. Power Off and set tab
switch correctly.
