5Selecting a Class or Special Service

Before Selecting or Changing a Class

Selectiong a class is a required action in order to generate the appropriate rate for your mail piece. The procedure for setting a class special service or carrier depends on whether you enter the weight of the mail manually or use the interfaced scale to weigh your mail piece. Each class has its own set of special services. When you select a class only those options available for that selection appear in the display.

Your system automatically calculates the correct postage for your piece of mail based on its weight and the class of service you select.

Before selecting a class or special feature, please note the following:

•The class that appears in the Ready screen is the one you last selected.

•If you turn off and then turn on the power to your system, the previously selected class automatically clears.

•If you place a piece of mail on the scale, or enter a weight manually, the system automatically prompts you to select a new class if the new weight requires a different class.

•If your system has an attached scale, we recommend that you turn the AutoScale option ON. Refer to the Setting Up an Attached Scale section in Chapter 4 of this guide.

•When you are done selecting the class and/or special service, print the envelope as described in Printing Postage on an Envelope in this chapter or print tapes as described in Printing Postage on Tape Strips (or Sheets) in this chapter.
