You do not need to change the way you use your franking machine to access Mailmark features as the Mailmark barcode indicia will print as standard.

To use a franking machine :

1. Place the letter, packet or parcel onto the scale on your franking machine.

2. Select the Royal Mail service that you require; first class, second class, recorded, signed for etc.

3. Ensure that you have chosen the advert/slogan/logo that you require. This can be anything from your company logo to a marketing message.

4. Place the item into the feeder of the machine to print the Mailmark indicia onto it.

Larger machines in the range have an automatic feeder which will allow you to print multiple items without manually processing them. Machines in the Elite range can have a dynamic scale, which means the machine will automatically weigh each letter, determine the price and print the Mailmark indicia frank mark onto it.

Once you have franked your mail, you can take it to your local Post Office, post it in a Pox Box (in a meter posting envelope) or if you send high volumes of mail, you are able to request a daily collection from Royal Mail.
