age mode, as well as whether or not you will need to feed your mail or
print a tape.
Feeding Mail or Printing Tape?

• under 5/8in. (15.9mm) thick.
• over 3.5 in. x 5 in. or under 13 in. x 10 in.
• under 10 lbs.
• not too thin (such as fliers, or Tyvek® envelopes) or too fragile
(such as air mail and onion skin envelopes) to pass through the
feeder.

Specifications in this guide.

propriate mode from chart A below.
