Running a Differential Weighing mail job
Differential weighing is available on your system if it has an attached scale and you have subscribed to
this feature. 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 system 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 differential weighing to have the
system automatically print a tape every time you remove a piece of mail from the scale.
Before using differential weighing:
l
Make sure each piece of mail weighs at least as much as the amount specified as the differential
weighing threshold.
l
Make sure the stack of mail is less than the capacity of the scale. If "Weight exceeds scale
capacity" appears on the screen, remove pieces of mail until the message disappears.
1. Select the
Run Mail
button in the Mailing tile on the Home screen.
2. Select a job that uses Differential weighing or select the Weighing icon.
a. Select
Differential weighing
.
b. If necessary, edit the Differential weighing threshold.
c. Select the appropriate print option:
l
Auto tape printing - select this option if you have a stack of mail made up of pieces that can't
be processed through the system, like packages or thick flats. Each time you remove a
piece of mail from the scale, the system will print a postage tape automatically.
l
Auto envelope printing- select this option if you have a stack of envelopes that can be run
through the system. The system will automatically feed the envelope and print postage.
l
Envelope or tape printing - select this option if you have a stack of mail that is a mix of
envelopes and packages (mail pieces that can be run through the system and others that
require tape). Each time you remove a piece of mail from the scale, you will be required to
select either Start or Tape to print postage.
d. Place a stack of mail on the scale and select
OK
.
3. Select the class of service.
4. Remove one piece of mail. Remove each piece of mail in a single continuous upward motion. Do
not slide the mailpiece across mail on the scale.
