4 To Print a Tape
Use strip tape on envelopes thicker than 3/8 inch (9 mm) and on pack-
ages.
If your mailing machine is connected to a scale with an electronic
interface, you may be able to select the postage and print a tape directly
from the scale, depending on the model of your scale. See the scale
operating guide for more details.
To make tapes:
1. Select the desired postage. Press the key.
If the triple bars do not appear on your meter screen, you
have entered more than $1.00 or another dollar limit set by
you or your Customer Service Representative. If you do want
to print postage above this set limit, press the key again.
2. If no tapes are in the strip tape dispenser, insert a tape or
tapes (up to 50). (See page 13 for more specific instructions.)
3. Select the mode by pressing Tape.
The printed tape is ejected from the right side of the machine.
If you want to use both ends of the tape, you can run the tape
twice. First, run one end and remove the tape from the backing
and apply to an envelope. Then, reverse the tape and feed
the opposite end into the dispenser.
If you have an ad on your tape, you cannot feed the tape in twice
since the extra space is already used by the ad.
If the Check Mailpiece or Check Meter lights are lit, correct the problem
and press Clear. For details, see Troubleshooting, section 6.
