This section recommends a standard list of steps to help you process your mail efficiently.
As mail requirements differ from day to day, some of the settings may not be necessary,
or the order may vary. The order given below is recommended.
Preparing Mail and Mailing System for Operation
Mail preparation involves:
•
Sorting mail by type , to make processing faster ( Sorting Mail on page 37)
•
Logging into the system , to begin setting up your Task ( Turning on the System and
Starting a Work Session on page 38)
•
Checking other system settings : such as active Accounts, Ink level, available
Postage Funds, etc. ( Frequently Asked Questions on page 39).
Setting Postage and Date of Mailing
A first step is mandatory:
• It is required that you
select the correct Print Mode that corresponds to the current
batch of mail to be processed ( Selecting the Print Mode on page 74)
You can then make additional selections depending on required tasks:
•
Select a rate or directly key in a postage value
•
Select a weighing mode (if necessary) or manually enter the postage value
•
Advance the Date Setting , if mail will not be deposited at the Post Office on the day
of printing. USPS requires the current date of mailing to be printed in the indicia.
You can customize the default values and modes.
To set the default values as supervisor, see Configuring the System
