5.2 Positioning and metering a letter
The optimail 30 allows letters up to a thickness of 0.24" (6 mm) and postcards to be
metered. Format and material of mail pieces must meet the specifications on
page 113.
Caution! You can avoid poor meter imprint quality, ribbon breaks and print
head damage by simple, preventive measures:
– Several sheets in an envelope may result
in thickness differences in the print area
that may cause an irregular imprint.
In this case meter the empty envelope or
use the special FP double labels.
– Use envelopes with as smooth a surface
as possible. This gives the best printing
results.
– Make sure the letters do not contain any
staples or paper clips in the imprinting
area.
– Jog the top edge of the envelopes on a flat
surface prior to metering. By aligning the
letter contents at the top edge you create a
smooth area for the meter imprint.
– A standard size letter you best let go during
printing. Larger envelopes could do with
some support.
– To not try to align or move a letter once the
optimail 30 has started feeding it.
