5Selecting the Class, Carrier, Special Services or Options

Selecting ZIP Codes and Zones

Each carrier has its own set of classes and each class has its own set of special services. When you select a class or carrier, only those options available for that selection display in the main screen.

NOTE: When selecting a class/carrier:

•If your system has been set up to retain the class on each piece of mail weighed then the class that appears in the main screen will be the one you selected last.

•If you turn off and then turn on the power to your system, or if your system has been set up to clear the class on each piece of mail weighed, it will clear the class. In this case, you need to select a new class.

•If you place a piece of mail on the scale, or enter a weight manually, the sys- tem automatically prompts you to select a new class if the new weight requires a different class.

1.Press the Class key. A list of available classes appears in the screen.

2.Select the class and press Enter.

3.If a ZIP Code or Zone is required, you are prompted to enter it. Press Enter to accept it. For more information, refer to “Selecting ZIP Codes and Zones” in this section.

4.If a country is required, you are prompted to select it. Press Enter to accept. For more information, refer to Selecting a Country in this sec- tion.

5.If special services are available with the class you select, they are dis- played.

6.Even if you do not want any special services, press the Enter key to confirm the class.

7.Press the Tape key to print a postage tape. To apply postage to a piece of mail, place it on the feed deck and press the Start key.

8.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.

If your postal rate or special service requires a ZIP Code or Zone, you are prompted to enter it. The system prompts you for either the ZIP Code or Zone (for details, see Setting Up the Scale/Rates: ZIP/Zone prompt section in Chapter 5 of this guide).

1.When you select a class, you may be prompted to enter the ZIP Code or Zone:

•To access the Intra-BMC Package Services Parcel Post rates, enter only the first 3 digits of the ZIP Code.

•To access the Inter-BMC Package Services Parcel Post rates, enter all 5 digits of the ZIP Code.

2.Press Enter.
