CHAPTER 2: USING YOUR SCALE
USING THE
WEIGHT HOLD
FEATURE
The weight hold feature is useful when weighing large envelopes that
block the display. This feature retains the weight reading for a brief
time after you remove an item from the scale. It allows you to continue
selecting categories and fees even though the item is no longer on the
scale. Pressing any key other than zero (for example, to select a category
of fee) extends the weight hold time for that transaction.
To use the weight hold feature for one transaction:
1. Press the Weight Hold key and place a mailpiece on the scale.
Result: "Hold" appears on the display (only if no weight is on the
scale).
2. Remove the mailpiece from the scale and note that the weight
reading remains.
3. Select a category and apply fees if desired.
To exit manual weight hold, wait a few seconds until the hold feature
times out or press Zero.
Note: The weight hold feature can be configured to automatically
operate for all mailpieces placed on to the platform if required. (See
page 19 - Changing Setup Options).
