Preset Feature
IMPORTANT:
• You cannot delete the preset, but you can define new values
for the preset based on the current condition of the machine.
• The preset values display after you turn on your machine or
after you activate the machine from "sleep" mode.
• When a rate change become effective, always check the post-
age value assigned to the preset to make sure that it complies
with the new rates.
What is a Preset?
A preset is very similar to a “shortcut” on your computer. It recalls a
setting that already contains the postage class, the postage value,
and possibly other values. The preset values appear on your ma-
chine when it is first powered on or after it awakens from a "sleep"
mode.
Why Should I Use a Preset?
A preset saves you time. You don’t have to concern yourself with
individually selecting the class, special services, etc. – all that infor-
mation is automatically contained in the preset.
The preset is generally set to the most commonly printed postage
value you use in your home or office. Many of our customers choose
to set the preset for First Class Letter, since that is the cost of mailing
a regular business letter.
Why Should I Always Include a USPS
®
“Class” in my Preset?
The advantage of including a Class as part of your preset is that any-
time there is a USPS
®
rate change, when you download the new rates
into your mailing system, your preset will automatically be updated with
the new rate, if applicable. If there is no Class associated with your
preset, the system has now way of knowing which value to update.
For example, if you define your preset to be just a value (e.g. $0.42)
but no class, your machine has no way of updating this value when
new rates become effective. In this scenario, it is your responsibility
to manually update your preset (e.g,. from $0.42 to $0.44) when the
rates change. By using a class in the preset, however, you can avoid
potentially incorrect values being applied to your mail that may result
in mail being returned to you by the USPS
