Sealing issues
Issue
The meter is not sealing or only partially sealing envelopes.
Cause
There may be inadequate sealant in the moistener tank, or an issue with the wick or brush in the
moistener.
Resolution
1. Be sure to slide the envelope flap under the edge of the feed deck. Otherwise, the moistener
cannot wet the flap.
2. Check the sealant level by looking at the sight glass on the left side of the moistener tank.
l If the sealant level is low, add E-Z Seal® solution until it reaches the bottom of the fill hole. Do
not overfill the moistener tank.
l If the tank was empty, allow 30 minutes for the moistener brush and wick to get completely wet
before trying to use the moistener.
3. Check if the moistener brush is dry. If it is:
l Make sure that the white thumbscrews on the bottom of the sealer are tight.
l Try wetting the moistener brush manually.
l Make sure that the brush is making contact with the wick. You may need to lift the wick up
slightly to make sure that it is making contact with the brush.
Note: If the brush dries out quickly, replace the moistener wick*.
4. Check if the moistener brush is dirty. If it is, remove the moistener brush, clean it in plain water, and
rinse thoroughly. If the brush will not rinse clean, replace the moistener brush.
