Sealing issues on the Connect+ Series, SendPro P

Issue

Envelopes or tapes are not sealing or only partially sealing.

Cause

The system may be low on sealing solution, or there may be an issue with the moistener brush.

Resolution

Your meter displays 'Out of E-Z Seal' message:

• Make sure that the sealer bottle contains sufficient fluid.
• Make sure that the sealer bottle is seated properly in the holder.

Check the brush:

• Connect+ 500W, SendPro P1500, Connect+ 1000, SendPro P1000 and Connect+ 2000, SendPro P2000: Press the blue button on the feed deck, then pull the brush out.
  
• Turn the (a) moistener pad assembly over and examine the (b) moisture pad. Note the location of the (c) wick.
  
• Sealing Envelopes on the Connect+ 3000, SendPro P3000: Pull up and to the left on the (a) top release lever to expose the (b) moistener deck., then lift the blue handle on the feed deck. The brush assembly will then slide out.
  
• Sealing tapes on the Connect+ 3000, SendPro P3000: Put the blue lever nearest you to the right and pull the brush assembly out.

If the moistener brush is dirty:

• Remove the moistener brush.
• Clean the moistener brush with water and rinse it thoroughly.
• Reinstall the moistener brush.

If the glue is slow-acting:

• Remove the mail from the stacker.
• Examine the mailpieces and ensure that each envelope flap is seated flat against the body of the envelope.
• If necessary, tap the mail on the table to ensure all the mailpieces are even with each other.
• With the mail facing you, run your hand across the top of the stack while squeezing the stack together. Repeat this process as needed.
• Allow the envelopes to dry undisturbed.
