Mail
1. Sort the mail by envelope size and unless you are using the optional
WOW module, sort by weight also. If you are using the accounting fea-
ture, sort by account as well.
2. Shingle the envelopes
so they are slan
ted
slightly to the left as
shown in the picture
on the right.
3. Place the stack of mail on the feed
deck shown in the picture below.
Place the envelopes with the flaps down and against the rear wall.
Make sure the envelopes are pushed far enough so that they cover
the
feed sensor on the rear wall.
4. Adjust the side guide so it is close to, but not touching, the bottom edge
of t
he envelope stack.
Be sure and leave a slight clearance between the side guide and enve-
lopes (about 1/16 inch clearance).
