specified for mailing materials - see Specifications, Materials in Appendix C of
this guide for details. Print the postage for this type of mail on tape.
NOTE 2: If you are using presealed envelopes, make sure you press the Seal
key on the IntelliLink® Control Center and select Sealer off or the envelopes
will jam.
NOTE 3: 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 attempt to
feed them automatically - they will jam.
