Check for jammed material, feed mail towards the right and rear of the franking machine to resolve the Envelope Not Detected message.
Products affected: DM60™ (K722)

Issue

The message Envelope not detected appears and the franking machine will not print.

Cause

This message can appear because:

  • You are not feeding the envelope far enough to the rear and the right of your franking machine.
  • Paper or paper clips can jam in the franking machine.
  • A sensor may be at fault.

Resolution

  1. Ensure you feed the mailpiece against the rear wall of your franking machine and then fully over to the right. This allows the sensor to detect the mailpiece.
  2. Turn off the franking machine by removing the power lead from the back.
  3. Once the display is off, open the top cover.
