5 • Normal and Custom Presets

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, fees for special service such as Delivery Confirmation, and possibly other values.

Your machine has two types of presets, Normal and Custom; and they actually work the same way. The Normal Preset is simply the “most frequently used” preset, and contains the values that always appear on your machine when it is first powered on or after it awak- ens from a "sleep" mode. Generally, Custom Presets contain more postal parameters than the Normal Preset, and are used less frequently.

Why Should I Use Presets?

Presets save you time. You don’t have to concern yourself with indi- vidually selecting the class, special services, etc. – all that informa- tion is automatically contained in the preset.

The Normal 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 Normal preset for First Class Letter, since that is the cost of mailing a 1-ounce, First Class 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 anytime there is a USPS® rate change, when you download the new rates into your meter, your Preset will automatically be updated with the new rate, if applicable. If there is no Class associated with your Preset, the system has no way of knowing which value to update.
