Positioning And Franking A Letter; Ultimail With Hand Feed Tray - FP ultimail Operator's Manual

6.3

Positioning and franking a letter

You can use the ultimail to frank letters and postcards. Format and material of mail
pieces must meet the specifications on page 199.
We recommend using envelopes made of ink-absorbent material with as smooth a
surface as possible. This gives the best printing results.
For thicker deliveries you should frank the empty envelope or use labels.
Also use self-adhesive labels to attach on the mail piece when the envelope material
is not ideal for inkjet printing.
How to position letters at the hand feed tray, work with sealer or feeder and frank
labels, read on the following pages.
You can select total pieces prior to franking. This ultimail function will help you
to have the franked deliveries readily stacked by numbers for the dispatch.
Read chapter 7.2 on page 52.

ultimail with hand feed tray

Letter guide face
If the ultimail is ready for operation you
can feed your mail pieces for franking.
'Ready for operation' means:
– ultimail shows the home menu
– the postage value is displayed
– the status line shows
"MODE: METERING...
Machine ready."
• Place the letter on the hand feed tray so
that:
– the side to be printed is face up
(address is visible)
– the upper edge is flush to the letter
guide face.
• Push the envelope in until the letter
sensor recognises the envelope and
starts letter transport.
The ultimail feeds the envelope, prints,
and places the franked envelope in the
catch tray.
