Before using this weighing option:

Make sure each piece of mail weights 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.

3.Select Attached Scale - AutoTape.

5.Place each piece, one at a time 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.

CAUTION: Do not lean on or touch the scale since the system will interpret this as a piece of mail and will deduct postage.

The system prints a tape every time you place another piece of mail on the scale.
