Use this option to set the minimum weight that a piece of mail must weigh in order to use the differential weighing mode to print postage on a tape or on a piece of mail. For more information on differential weighing, refer to “Selecting the Postage Mode and Running the Mail” in Chapter 4 of this guide.

When your system is shipped, the trip weight is set to 0.5 ounces (10 grams). It is best to set the trip weight as high as possible to match the low- est weight that you will use. For example, a #10 envelope with a single insert typically weighs 0.4 ounces. In this case, you would set the trip weight to 0.4 ounces. This will improve the efficiency of your system, espe- cially in the AutoTape mode.
