The following lists the correct types of postage tapes for each model, and instructions for properly sealing an envelope. Postage tapes cannot be printed in the Seal Only, W-O-W® (Weigh-On-the-Way), or Weigh First Piece modes.
Types of tapes, per meter model:
DM400™ - DM550™ use adhesive tapes:
- 610-7 Self Adhesive 4" 3 Rolls / Carton
DM500™ and DM550™ use adhesive tapes:
- 610-7 Self Adhesive 4" 3 Rolls / Carton
- 627-8 Self Adhesive 5" 3 Rolls / Carton
DM800i™ - DM1100™ use adhesive and gummed tapes:
- 627-8 Self Adhesive 5" 3 Rolls / Carton
- 627-2C Gummed 6 Rolls / Carton
Instructions to properly seal envelopes:
- To moisten gummed tape: move the Wet / Dry tape lever up.
- Wet tapes exit one at a time. After printing a wet tape, the machine pauses for it to be removed before it prints and ejects another one.
- If the wet tape is not removed within the required time, the machine stops. Remove the tape and press the Start button to continue.
- If using wet tapes, ensure there is enough E-Z Seal® sealing solution in the bottle
- To print one tape: press the Tape button instead of placing mail on the deck.
- To print more than one tape: use the numeric buttons to type in the number of tapes wanted then press the Tape button.
- The tapes exit into the stacker on the right side of the mailing system
- Fifty tapes can be requested at a time
- For dry tapes or pressure-sensitive tapes: move the Wet/Dry tape lever down. Do not lift any of the covers on the mailing system while the system is printing or the system stops printing.
