FRANKING INTRODUCTION The IJ25 should be operated on a flat level surface. In order to achieve the best impression, your IJ25 requires that with bulky or uneven items, the contents are correctly folded and inserted into the envelope. It is sometimes unavoidable that your mail will contain staples, paper clips and other fixings.

N o t e : For an envelope exceeding 8 mm thick, a label must be used. Labels For franking parcels or packets, a pre-cut self adhesive label approved by Neopost should be used. When feeding a label, select the postage value required and feed the label into the machine in the same way as you would an envelope.
Setting of values for franking is automatic. When postal rates change, your machine may be updated by installing a Rate Card which can be obtained from your Neopost dealer or agent. For information relating to the installation of new postal rates, please refer to page 20.
