Setting up the Omation 206
1. Press the Start Button . The control center will
automatically boot up presenting the run screen. The
run screen will have selectable information such as
count, machine parameters, and normal run modes.
2. Preparing to Run. Re-set count if necessary by using
the left and right arrow keys to move the highlighted
menu to Reset Count. Press Enter. After re-setting the
count, use the arrow keys to return to the Run menu.
3. Depth of Cut. Choose the appropriate setting for depth
of cut. There are four selectable pre-set positions
available.
0 is a no cut option - This setting can be used for
count only.
1is the minimum cut (.010 -.015). Use for
normal thickness.
2is 1/16th - Use for slightly thicker mail and
overnight type flat.
3 is 1/8th - Recommended for very deep cuts only.
4. Staging the Mail. The convenient mail tray supports
may be used to hold U.S. Postal Service mail trays. The
doors to the 206’s integrated stand can be opened or
closed depending on your needs.
5. Preparing the mail. Very little preparation of the mail
is required. Handfuls of mail can quickly be loaded into
the feed area. A simple tap to align the top or leading
edge may be necessary in some cases. Envelopes of
different size and thickness can be run at the same time.
