Mode Selection:
Weigh First Piece
This feature is available only on systems that have the optional
Weigh-On-The-Way® (WOW®) module installed.
In this mode, the machine weighs the first mail piece and processes the
remaining mail at the same postage rate.
To run mail in this mode:
1. Press the Mode key.
2. Select Weigh First Piece.
3. Press the Class key and select the class. For more information, refer to
4-“Selecting the Class, Carrier, Special Services or Options” in this
chapter.
4. Press the Seal key and select your sealing option.
5. Place the stack of mail on the feed deck.
6. Press the Start key.
Mode Selection:
Differential
Weighing
This option is available on your system if it has the optional integrated plat-
form scale or an attached external scale.
This option allows you to place all of the mail on the scale at once, then
remove each piece, one at a time and run it through the system. The sys
-
tem calculates the postage for each piece of mail you remove from the
scale and applies the postage to the piece as it goes through the mailing
system.
For larger pieces of mail (large envelopes or packages), you can use differ-
ential weighing to have the system automatically print a tape every time
you remove a piece of mail from the scale.
Before using differential weighing:
Make sure each piece of mail weighs at least as much as the amount
specified as the differential trip weight during the installation of your
mailing system. Refer to the Set Up the Scale/Select Rates: Diff Weigh
Trip Weight section in Chapter 5 in this guide.
Make sure the stack of mail is less than the capacity of the scale. If
"overweight" appears on the display, remove pieces of mail until the
message disappears.
To use differential weighing:
1. Remove all pieces of mail from the scale.
2. Set the scale to zero by pressing the Menu key, then selecting Zero
Scale.
3. Press the Mode key.
4. Select Differential Weighing.
5. The system prompts you to place the mail on the scale.
WARNING! Do not lean on or disturb the system while it is process-
ing mail in this mode. It will affect the amount of postage applied to
the mail piece.
CAUTION: Make sure you center the mail on the scale and
check to be sure it is not touching any other surface or object.
