Applying Postage
There are several ways you can apply postage using your mailing
system:
Key in the postage directly from the keyboard when you already
know the amount
Enter the weight of the mail piece manually and have the system
calculate the postage amount using the system's internal rating
feature
Place the mail piece on the integrated weighing platform (if
purchased) and have the system calculate the weight and then
postage amount using the system's internal rating feature
Each method is described in its own section that follows.

NOTE 1: To apply postage for large pieces and parcels that can't
be run through the machine, use the optional tape strips (see
Chapter 14, Supplies and Options for ordering tape strips). Apply
the postage tape strips on the mail piece or parcel in the proper
location.

NOTE 2: The system allows you to enter either a ZIP Code or a
Zone number for those USPS classes and services that require
a destination entry (e.g. Priority class over 1 lb.). When prompted
to enter a destination in these cases, you may either key in the
one-digit Zone number (0-8) and select "This is Zone" or key in
the 5-digit ZIP Code and select "This is a ZIP Code".
