You can set AutoScale to On or Off.

If you disable this feature and your system has an attached scale, you need to select the Attached Scale mode when running mail if you want your system to weight the mail and calculate postage. Refer to the Select- ing the Postage Mode and Running Mail section in Chapter 4 in this guide.

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 the Selecting the Postage Mode and Running Mail section in Chapter 4 in 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 lowest 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.
