The Optimail is a fully electronic postage meter for metering letters.
The Optimail complies with the pertinent safety regulations for office information
equipment. Please observe the following tips for your own safety.
• Only use the power and interface cables supplied with the machine by
Francotyp-Postalia. Makes sure that the cables are not damaged.
• Connect the Optimail to a grounded single-phase power socket only. Make sure
your office power supply conforms to the power requirements shown on the serial
number plate of the Optimail.
• Make sure the socket for connecting the Optimail is close by and the mains plug is
easily accessible at all times.
• Switch off the Optimail and all devices connected to it before plugging in or
removing interface cables.
• Never plug in interface cables during a thunderstorm.
• Switch off the Optimail before cleaning it or moving it to another location.
• Make sure that no liquids or foreign objects penetrate the interior of the Optimail. If
this happens, pull out the mains plug immediately. Have the Optimail checked by
your local servicing dealer before using it again.
• Only have maintenance and repair work done by qualified personnel authorized by
Francotyp-Postalia. Failure to do so will result in voiding of your warranty and loss
of your postal licence. You will be liable for any damages.
The Optimail is designed so that you can install and start it yourself. Please read the
chapter “Instructions for installation” in the appendix to this manual. You are also
welcome to contact our Service department who will help you get started.
