8.If you are using the optional DJPS/DMPS Power Stacker, we recom- mend you remove your mail in manageable stacks and not allow the deck to fill completely. The system will halt the stacker if it is filled to its maximum capacity.

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:

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

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.

•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.
