Rena T-650 - Manual (Page 75)

OPERATION
Job Example D: Placing Tabs on Perpendicular Sides
The T-650 was also designed to apply tabs to letter sized booklets, in accordance with USPS
regulations as of September 2009.
Booklets are defined as; sheets that are fastened with at least two staples in the manufacturing
fold (saddle stitched), perfect bound, pressed-glued, or joined together by another binding
method that produces an end where pages are attached together. Booklets are open on three sides
before sealing, similar in design to a book.
The following examples were extracted from the USPS regulations, regarding the placement of
tabs on letter sized booklets. Please contact your postal representative for the most current
regulations.
The terms “leading edge”, “trailing edge”, “top edge”, and “bottom edge” are in reference to how
the mail piece is oriented as it travels through USPS automation equipment.
The appropriate T-650 media feed direction, for the media types described below, are indicated
by the “Feed Direction” label and arrow.
An oblong piece (spine on the trailing or shorter
edge) that is 5” to 9” long, with
minimum 60# cover stock and
over 9” up to 10.5”long, with
minimum 70# cover stock
requires three 1.5” non-perforated
tabs. Two tabs should be placed
on the top edge and one tab on the trailing edge.
Position the top tabs less than 1” from the left and right edge and position the trailing edge
tab in the middle.
Feed Direction
IMPORTANT: To permit proper feeding through the tabber; the media you plan to tab must
have square, tight folds, and be nearly uniformly thick. If the media does not feed properly, it
will not be tabbed properly.
NOTE: Please see “ Appendix D- Narrow Media Guide Assembly ” for additional setup
instructions; when running media that is less than 6.5” in width.
