NOTE: When selecting a class/carrier:
• If your system has been set up to retain the class on each piece of mail
weighed then the class that appears in the main screen will be the one you
selected last.
• If you turn off and then turn on the power to your system, or if your system
has been set up to clear the class on each piece of mail weighed, it will clear
the class. In this case, you need to select a new class.
• If you place a piece of mail on the scale, or enter a weight manually, the sys-
tem automatically prompts you to select a new class if the new weight
requires a different class.
