5.1 Postage / Royal Mail product
PostBase Vision sets the postage, i.e. the price for the postal product using the
chosen mailing data (destination, type, mail piece dimensions, and additional extra
services if applicable), in conjunction with the displayed weight.
You simply select the mailing data step by step in the Product Calculation menu.
The built-in scale is available for weighing the items.
The different ways to set the postal product are described below:
– The easiest way to set the product is via shortcut. Refer to chapter 5.1.1.
– To read the step-by-step instructions on how to select mailing data, refer to
chapter 5.1.2.
– You can learn how to determine the weight of your mail pieces with the built-in scale
in chapter 5.1.3.1.
– Differential weighing – an optional weighing mode for the built-in scale –
can be used for efficiently processing mixed weight mail. Read more about it in
chapter 5.1.3.2.
– For mail pieces whose weight exceeds the scale’s weighing range, enter the weight
manually. Read more about it in chapter 5.1.3.3.
