How to Define Custom Preset Values
1. Enter the values for the mail job (for example, the weighing mode, the
postage value, class and carrier etc.) that correspond to the values you
want to be able to call up in the future by selecting a custom preset
key. For example, you may want to define a set of conditions so that
the envelopes are sealed only (no postage applied).
NOTE: Proceed as if you were actually running a job. Select the mode and
class and service etc. By doing this, you are entering the values that you
will use for the normal preset. Refer to Chapter 4, Running Mail in this guide
for more information on selecting mode and class.
2. Press the Custom Presets key.
3. Press the right arrow key.
4. Select Store Current Setting to Preset.
5. A list of presets, starting with 0 Normal appears. Select one of the
presets that has not been defined yet. These presets are named
“Available”. To change an existing preset, refer to How to Edit a Cus-
tom Preset Value in this section.
6. The system prompts you to: Enter New Preset Name.
7. Type in the name using the alphanumeric keys.
8. Press the Enter key. The "View Preset" screen appears and displays
all of the values you defined in this session.
To use these values in the future, simply press the Custom Presets
Key and select the screen key corresponding to this preset name.
9. Press the Enter key to return to the main screen.
