DM500™ and DM550™ Series Digital Mailing System Operating Guide

Delivery Confirmation	Delivery Confirmation is a service offered by the United States Postal Ser-
	vice® that allows you to verify the date and time of delivery of your mail or,
	if the delivery was unsuccessful, the date and time of the delivery attempt.
	The service is currently available for Priority Mail and Package Services,
	which includes Parcel Select, Parcel Post, Bound Printed Matter, Special
	Standard Mail and Library Mail.
	You may combine Delivery Confirmation with other services such as COD,
	insured mail, registered mail, parcel airlift (PAL) or special handling.
	There is no charge for Delivery Confirmation when you ship by Priority Mail
	and provide an electronic file to the Postal Service. There is a per piece
	charge when you ship Package Services using the electronic option. To get
	the latest fees, go to www.usps.com and search for "Delivery Confirmation".
Differential Weighing	The weighing mode that allows you to put all of the mail on the scale, then
	remove each piece one at time. As you remove each piece, the system cal-
	culates the weight and prints postage (either on envelopes or tapes). This
	saves time by eliminating the need to place each piece individually on the
	scale.
