Use this option if you want the system to automatically weigh and print a tape as soon as you place a piece of mail on the scale.

Before using this weighing option:

1.Set the scale to zero by pressing the Menu key, then selecting Zero Scale.

2.Press the Mode key.

3.Select Attached Scale - AutoTape.

4.The “Print Tape Automatically” screen appears.

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.

Mode Selection: Print Permit

This feature may be offered as an optional feature and is not available on all Pitney Bowes solutions. Please contact your local account representa- tive to determine if this option is accessible on your system.
