Scale/Rates: Diff
Weigh Trip
Weight
Use this option to set the minimum weight that a piece of mail must weigh
in order to use the differential weighing mode to print postage on a tape or
on a piece of mail. For more information on differential weighing, refer to
“Selecting the Postage Mode and Running the Mail” in Chap
ter 4 of this
guide.
When your system is shipped, the trip weight is se
t to 0.5 ounces (10
grams). It is best to set the trip weight as high as possible to match the low-
est weight that you will use. For exa
mple, a #10 envelope with a single
insert typically weighs 0.4 ounces. In this case, you would set the trip
weight to 0.4 ounces. This will improve the efficiency of your system, espe-
cially in the AutoTape mode.
