N500 User Guide
You can manually add any amount to the postage displayed. Use the
Alpha-numeric keys to select the amount and then press the
Enter
key
to add this to the postage displayed. Values are in pence unless you
enter the decimal point i.e.
key in… 40 for 40p
key in… 40
.
for £40
You can de-select a manually added value by pressing the Menu
Selection key alongside the Manul Add entry displayed. The manually
added amount will be removed from the postage value on the display.
You can also use the Manual Add facility to add excess postage for items
having less than the required postage for the Category selected. To add
the difference to the item, press the
C/CE
key twice to clear the
Category and return to ready mode. Then manually add the value as
described above.
If your N500 is linked to a Pitney Bowes electronic
postage meter, you can set the meter to the postage
amount displayed by pressing the
Meter Set
key at the
bottom of the keyboard. The meter ‘ready’ symbol (
≡
)
will appear on the display each side of the value.
If the scale is linked to a Mailing Machine with automatic
tape dispensing available, you can automatically print a
postage tape of the required value by pressing the
Tape
key.
The N500 can also print up to 25 tapes of the same value
in one automatic operation. Key in the number of tapes you want (up
to 25), then press the
Tape
key. The Mailing Machine will print the
requested number of tapes.
When you remove the item from the platform, the Category selected
will be retained until you select another Category or press the
C/CE
key. However, fees selected or manually added amounts
will not
be
retained. This is to prevent you accidentally leaving fees or other
additions operating on subsequent items of mail.
