Things worth knowing about the Optimail
The Optimail is a postage meter for small mail
volumes. It meters letters up to a thickness of 0.2"
(5 mm) and self-adhesive FP labels.
9
Mode of operation
Very clean meter imprints
Fast cassette change
TELESET
Extended functions
All the information for the metering process is
electronically stored. The memory component
provides space for new advertisements.
The settings for the meter imprint can be selected
quickly and easily at the push of a button. The display shows you th e current setti ngs at a gla nce. You
only have to put the letter in place – the Optimail
takes the letter, meters it, and ejects the ready to
send letter to the right.
The thermal printing process provid es a clean,
smudge-proof imp rint. The solid ink on t he ribb on is
heated up as it passes the the rmal printhe ad. Under
pressure, the liquefied ink penetrates the paper of
the envelope and remains permanently bonded.
The ribbon cassette can ea sily be rep laced with ju st
a few actions.
You load postage with the TELESET process via a
built-in modem – fast, comfortable and, if need be,
24 hours a day.
– Automatic date setting.
– Separate registration and accounting of the
postage costs for up to 9 accounts.
– Printing of account information and register data.
– Warning of high postage values and insufficient
available postage.
– Incoming mail stamp function to register inc oming
mail.
Operation with postage scale
You can combine O ptimail with a pos tage scale from
Francotyp-Postalia. The postage scale then controls
setting of the postage value.

4.6 Positioning and metering a letter
1. 2.
Caution! By simple preventive measures and spe-
cial care when positioning letters, you can avoid
gaps in the imprint, tearin g the ribbon and damaging
the thermal print head:
– You can meter letters up to a thickness of 0.2"
(5 mm). The difference in thickness in the printing
area in letters containin g sev era l sh eets can lead
to an irregular imprint. In this case , meter the emp-
ty envelope or use FP labels.
– Use envelopes with as smooth a surface as
possible. This gives optimum imprint quality.
– Make sure you remove all staples and pa per clips
from the area around the imprint.
– Before imprinting, knock the upper edge of the
envelopes again st a smooth unde rlay. By alig ning
the content of the letter with the upper edge of the
envelope you get an even surface to achieve bet-
ter meter imprints.
– During metering, it is best to let go of normal for-
mat letters (e.g. Commercial #6¾, #10).
Give large envelopes (e. g. #14) a little support.
– Under no circumstances should you attempt to
straighten the envelope whilst it is being printed.

How to feed a letter
• Place the letter on the letter receiving tray:
– The side to be printed facing upwards, the
address fi eld visible.
– The top edge must be flush with the l etter guid e.
• Push in the letter in the direction of the arrow until
the Optimail grips the letter.
As soon as the mail sensor detects a letter, a roller
presses the letter against the ribbon and print head
– the printing st arts. The imprinted letter is ejected to
the right.

7 Loading postage – TELESET
Notes on the TELESET procedure
TELESET is the loading of the desired postage
credit via modem from the TELESET data center.
The modem is built into the Optimail. After entering
your PIN (personal identification number) and the
desired amount, the Optimail establishes a
connection to the TELESET data cen ter for the time
of the actual loading process.
Accounting is as per your contract with the United
States Postal Service.
Permissible amounts
Permissible amounts for calling postage:
From 10 to a maximum $ 5,000 in steps of $ 10.
The Optimail will not accept impermissible amounts/
incorrect inputs. The amount last used then
reappears in the display .
Security features
For reasons of safety, the United States Postal
Service demands that the postage meter connect
with the TELESET data center at regular intervals.
During this contact, the TDC checks the registers
and other parameters.
An internal counter allows your postage meter to
determine when the next conta ct with the T ELESET
data center must be made.
When it is time to contact the TDC, the message
“Call-FPxx” (possible mes sages are: -FP44, -FP45,
FP46, FP47) will appear i n the displ ay. If you d o not
respond to this message within a reasonable
amount of time the postage meter will discontinue
operation until communication is made.
All you need to do to establish communi c ation is
conduct a normal TELE SET p os tag e loading. If you
do not need posta ge, you may ask for a reset of ze ro
dollars. If you have any questions, call service.
Loading postage – TELESET
Technical note: Please do not use telephones
connected to the same telephone socket during
postage loading if possible. Unnecessary charges
may be incurred when you lift and do not rep lace the
telephone handset during the loading process, as
the modem cannot terminate the charged
connection.
