WOW® (Weigh-on-the-Way) and Pricing in Proportion
(DM475M)
When enabled, the Weigh-on-the Way (WOW
®
) feature increases
your productivity because you don't have to presort the mail by
weight before loading the pieces onto the machine. The DM475M
has a special scale built into its deck that can weigh mail pieces
on-the-fly (that is, as they pass along the deck) so the system can
determine the correct postage of each item. You can feed mail
pieces having various weights (10g, 20g, 30g, etc.) into the machine
and the machine will weigh and apply the correct postage to each
piece automatically.
NOTE: The maximum length of a mail piece that can be processed
is 380mm when running in non-WOW® mode and 355mm when
running in a WOW® mode.
IMPORTANT:
To avoid mail processing errors:
• Do not touch or accidentally brush against the width sensor or
the deck during WOW® mode while running mail.
• Do not tamp the mail on the mail/WOW® deck
• Do not use the mail/WOW® deck as a work surface
In addition, the DM475M has the ability to rate your mail pieces
according your postal authority requirements for pricing in proportion
and to rate mail pieces based on thickness, length, or width, in
addition to weight.
To rate your mail according to your postal authority’s shape-based
requirements, the system must be in WOW
®
mode and you must
select a class where Automatic Rating is available.
