In this mode, the machine weighs the first mail piece and processes the remaining mail at the same postage rate.
WARNING! Do not lean on or disturb the system while it is process- ing mail in this mode. It will affect the amount of postage applied to the mail piece.

This option is available on your system if it has the optional integrated plat- form scale or an attached external scale.
This option allows you to place all of the mail on the scale at once, then remove each piece, one at a time and run it through the system. The sys- tem calculates the postage for each piece of mail you remove from the scale and applies the postage to the piece as it goes through the mailing system.
For larger pieces of mail (large envelopes or packages), you can use differ- ential weighing to have the system automatically print a tape every time you remove a piece of mail from the scale.
Before using differential weighing:
•Make sure each piece of mail weighs at least as much as the amount specified as the differential trip weight during the installation of your mailing system. Refer to the Set Up the Scale/Select Rates: Diff Weigh Trip Weight section in Chapter 5 in this guide.
•Make sure the stack of mail is less than the capacity of the scale. If "overweight" appears on the display, remove pieces of mail until the message disappears.
To use differential weighing:
1.Remove all pieces of mail from the scale.
2.Set the scale to zero by pressing the Menu key, then selecting Zero Scale.
3.Press the Mode key.
4.Select Differential Weighing.
5.The system prompts you to place the mail on the scale.
CAUTION: Make sure you center the mail on the scale and check to be sure it is not touching any other surface or object.
