4 • Normal and Custom Presets

What is a Preset?

A preset is a setting you can call up at the touch of a button that holds pre-defined values such as postage amount, ad, account number (not normal preset), etc. within your machine. Your system has a "normal" preset (stores the settings you use most often) which is accessed by pressing Normal Preset. It also has the ability to store up to 10 custom presets which are accessed by pressing Custom Presets and choosing the desired preset from the menu.

You don't have to program the values that go into a preset in the traditional sense. Instead, the system takes a "snapshot" of the current values on your machine when you define a preset. For example, if the machine is set up to print an ad and has a postage amount already on the screen, this is the condition that will be recorded by the system when you define a preset (either Normal or Custom).

If you need to change the values of a preset, just change the machine condition by pressing the appropriate feature keys and establishing the proper settings (such as No Ad, a particular postage value, etc.). The Custom or Normal Preset will then pick these new settings when you define them in the Custom Presets menu.

Normal Preset

Your Normal preset as shipped from the factory uses these settings: No postage value, No Ad chosen and Printing Date. These settings can be changed.

IMPORTANT

You cannot delete the Normal Preset.

You cannot modify the name of the Normal Preset.

There is no option to "edit" the Normal Preset, but you can define new values for the Normal Preset based on the current condition of the machine.

Preset postage values are subject to the high value warning.

On the date a rate change becomes effective, always check the postage values assigned to all presets to make sure that they comply with the new rates.
