6Setting Up the Scale and Selecting Rates

If you have a scale on your DM500™ or DM550™ Digital Mailing System, you can use this section to set up how your scale works with your system.

For example, the Attached Scale op- tion allows you to set your scale to ac- commodate for environments subject to vibrations.

The Class if new Piece, Dest. if new Piece and Dest. if new Class options allow you to specify if you want to clear or retain the class or destination (ZIP Code or Zone) whenever you put a new piece of mail on the scale.

The list of options that displays de- pends on the model number of your mailing system. All of the options are listed in the menu on the right.

Scale/Rates:

Attached Scale

1.To access the scale/rates options, press the Menu key on the IntelliLink® Control Center and select Set Up from the main screen. Press the down arrow key and select Scale/Rates.

2.If you have set up a supervisor password for Scale/Rates, you are prompted to enter the password.

This option appears only if you have an integrated scale or an attached external scale connected to your mailing system.

Use this option to select how much time your system allows the scale to settle (Normal or Adjust for Motion).

Select Adjust for motion if your mailing system is in an environment sub- ject to vibrations, such as near air-conditioning vents or closing doors. If you select this, the scale will require more time to settle.

NOTE: If this is the first time you are using an attached scale, you may be prompted to enter a location code. Contact the Pitney Bowes Help Desk. Refer to the Pitney Bowes Contact Information List at the front of this guide for the phone number.
