Things worth knowing about optimail 30
The optimail 30 is a post age meter for small and
medium-sized mail volumes. It meters letters up to a
thickness of 0.24" (6 mm) and self-adhesive FP labels.
With up to 30 meter imprints per minute you manage
your dail y mail volume in virt ually no ti me at all.
Menu-controlled operation
No matter which function you need – from setting the
meter imprint to editing system parameters – with the
clearly structured user interface on the backlit display
you quickly and easily perform these tasks.
Metering
The optimail 30 shows all major metering information at
a single glance. You onl y hav e to pu t the lette r in pla ce
– the optimail 30 feeds the letter, me ters it and ejects the
ready to send letter to the right.
Letters as advertising medium
In addition to the meter imprint the optimail 30 can
simultaneously pr int an advert of your choice on the
envelope.
TELESET
Load postage into the optimail 30 with the TELESET
process via a built-in modem – fast, comfortable and, if
need be, 24 hours a day.
Protection against
unauthorized use
Access cards in check card format protect the optimail 30 against unauthorized use and allow individual
access rights to be assigned (MASTER/USER).
Flexible and always up to date
New adverts, endorsements or new U.S. Po stal Service
tariffs – simply load updated data into your optimail 30
with the chip card.
Thermal printing
The thermal prin ting process pro vides a cl ean, smudg eproof imprint. The s olid ink on the ribbo n is heated up as
it passes the thermal print head, the liquefied ink penetrates the paper of the envelope and remains permanently bonded.
The ribbon cassette is simple to replace with just a few
actions.
