DM800™ Series Digital Mailing System Operating Guide

Mode Selection: Differential Weighing

This option is available if your system has an integrated platform 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.

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 mail- ing system. For more information, refer to the Set Up the Scale/Select Rates: Diff Weigh Trip Weight section in Chapter 5 in this guide.

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 select Zero Scale.

3.Press the Mode key, then select Differential Weighing.

4.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.

5. Once you place the mail on the scale:

•If you have previously selected a class, the system displays the fol- lowing prompt at the top of the screen:

Print tapes automatically On or Off

a.) If you select On, then when you remove each piece of mail, the system automatically prints a tape.

b.) If you select Off, you remove the first piece of mail and place it

on the feed deck. The system automatically feeds the mail.

•If you have not previously selected a class, you are prompted to

select one now. For more information, refer to 5 Selecting a Class, Carrier or Special Service in this chapter.

6.Begin removing mail from the scale. Please note the following:

a.) Remove each piece of mail in a single continuous motion.

b.) If you mistakenly remove more than one piece of mail, put all of the pieces of mail back on the scale. If you only put one piece back on, the system does not print the correct postage.
