Weighing

This feature is available only on systems that have the optional Weigh-On-The-Way® (WOW®) module installed.

In this mode, the machine weighs the first mail piece and processes the remaining mail at the same postage rate.

WARNING! Do not lean on or disturb the system while it is pro- cessing mail in this mode. It will affect the amount of postage applied to the mail piece.

To run mail in this mode:

1.Press the Mode key.

2.Select Weigh First Piece.

3.Press the Class key and select the class. For more information, refer to Selecting the Class, Carrier, Special Services or Options in this chapter.

4.Press the Seal key and select your sealing option. Set the seal lever.

5.Place the stack of mail on the feed deck.

6.Press the Start key.

7.If you are using the optional Power Stacker, we recommend 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.

This option is available on your system if it has 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.

For larger pieces of mail (large envelopes or packages), you can use differ- ential weighing to have the system automatically print a tape every time you remove a piece of mail from the scale.

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 mailing system. Refer to the Set Up the Scale/Select Rates: Diff Weigh Trip Weight section in Chapter 5 in this guide.

•Make sure the stack of mail is less than the capacity of the scale. If "overweight" appears on the display, remove pieces of mail until the message disappears.

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 selecting Zero Scale.

3.Press the Mode key.
