This chapter explains how to use the “Key In Postage” mode. It’s the quick-

est and easiest way to run a piece of mail or print a postage tape.

For instructions on other available modes for running your mail, refer to 
Determining the Correct Postage Mode

 section in Chapter 4 in this guide.

For tips on feeling light weight or bulky pieces of mail, flats and postcards, 

or any mail that is easily damaged, refer the Tips on Feeding Mail section in 
Chapter 4

 in this guide. 

1. Remove any onion skin/airmail type envelopes, Tyvek® envelopes, 

envelopes that are thicker than 5/8” or any pieces of mail that are out-

side the limits specified for mailing materials - see Specifications in 
Chapter 12

 of this guide for details. Print the postage for this type of 

mail on tape.

2. Sort the mail by envelope size and weight. If you are using the account-

ing feature, sort by account as well. 

3. Shingle the envelopes so they 

are slanted slightly to the left 

as shown in the picture shown

4. 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.

the feed sensor on the rear wall. 

Use this mode if:

•

You know the postage amount.

•

All envelopes are the same size. 

•

You are printing postage on postcards.
