Sealing Function (Optional) - FP POSTBASE ONE Operator's Manual

3.6 Sealing function
When equipped with the optional components sealer and power sealer,
PostBase One can meter and seal your mail in a single run. Coming from the feeder,
the mail pieces pass through the sealer. In the sealer, the sealing flap of the envelope
is moistened by a sponge. The flap is then closed and sealed as it passes through
the system. After metering, the mail piece is ultimately closed by the power sealer.
You can use the sealing function for letters with a thickness of up to 0.28" (7 mm).
The envelopes must be suitable for machine sealing (see page 178). Also, please
mind envelope quality.
Please note that we can assure reliable sealing results only when you use Francotyp-
Postalia 'sealit' sealing liquid.

If you have not used the sealing function for a
certain amount of time, sealing liquid is auto-
matically pumped into the moistener. Thus,
PostBase One makes sure the sponge is
properly wetted. In the S
