Determining the correct postage method on the Connect+ Series and SendPro P
- If your mail requires no application of postage, see Section C to choose your job settings.
- If your mail requires postage, you must determine if you can print directly on your mail. You can feed mail provided your mailpieces meet the requirements (material type, dimensions, and thickness) for your franking machine. If your mail meets these requirements, select the appropriate postage or weighing method from Section A.
- If your mail does NOT meet your franking machine requirements for direct printing, you MUST print a postage tape. Select the applicable postage or weighing method from Section B.
