Solution
Make sure you slide the envelope flap under
the blue edge of the moistener. If you don't, the
moistener can't wet the flap.
Check the sealant level in the moistener tank. If
the sealant level is low, add E-Z Seal
until it reaches the bottom of the fill hole. See the
in struc tions in Chapter 12, Maintenance.
Try wetting the moistener brush. If the brush drys
out quickly, replace the moistener wick as ex-
plained in Chapter 12, Maintenance.
Remove the moistener brush. Clean it in plain
water and rinse thoroughly (see Chapter 12
Maintenance).
Replace the moistener brush (see Chapter 12,
Maintenance)
To resolve these conditions, perform the fol-
lowing procedure a few seconds after the mail
pieces have exited the machine:
A. Remove the mail from the drop stacker.
B. Examine the mail pieces and assure each
envelope flap is seated flat against the body
of the envelope.
C. If necessary, tamp the mail on the table to
assure all the mail pieces are even with each
other.
D. With the mail facing you, run your hand
across the top of the stack, while squeezing
the stack together. This process may be re-
peated.
E. Allow the envelopes to dry undisturbed.
