This excerpt lacks the context a bit. Most probably it just means that scale of features should not be extremely different. For example, imagine you have feature 1 with range of values between [0, 10^5] and feature 2 spanning [0-1]. You need to normalize them to make in the same scale. zscoring would be one good option. This is true also in multivariate methods like principal component analysis.
