Descriptions of Weighing Modes
Each weighing mode has a corresponding icon for quick identification.
• Dynamic Weighing Weigh all (Dynamic Weighing Module) ()
Using the Dynamic Weighing Module is the fastest and most efficient method of
weighing and rating mixed mail processed through the mailing system. It uses a
patented, four-point detection system to weigh and rate mail at speeds up to 140
letters per minute. It measures the length, width, thickness and weight to properly
determine the mailing format within the mail class (that is to say letter vs. flat) and
rate the mail pieces.
• Dynamic Weighing, Weigh First Piece (Dynamic Weighing Module) ()
In this mode, you place a set of identical mail on the feed hopper. The Dynamic
Weighing Module will only measure and weigh the first piece and then apply that
postage to entire batch. In this mode, the system will also set the mail class for re-
porting and print the mail class die, that is to say “Presort First Class”, on the en-
velope. This is the recommended mode for non-mixed mail processing. As it only
validates and rates the first piece, processing speeds are significantly faster that
in the Dynamic Weighing Batch Mode.
• Standard Weighing (Weighing Platform) ()
In this mode, you manually weigh each item by placing it on the weighing platform.
When the item is removed from the platform, it is either processed trough the
mailing system or a postage label is printed and affixed to it.
• Differential Weighing (Weighing Platform) ()
This mode is a semi-automated method of weighing mail that speeds up the
weighing process. In this mode, you can place a stack or container of mail on the
weighing platform. The weight is then calculated as each mail piece is removed
from the weigh platform (by calculating the differential from the amount on the
weighing platform less the weight removed). The mailing system automatically
starts and stops as each piece is processed through the system. A label can be
dispensed at any time in this mode.
You can use a tray on the Weighing Platform: the mailing system will ask you to
confirm printing for the last item removed (the tray). To always use the tray, tare
the WP (p.209).
• Differential Weighing Auto-Tape (Weighing Platform) ()
This mode is identical to
Differential weighing
except that it automatically prints a
postage label.
This section describes the various weighing modes, which are
available depending on the accessories and options added to
your mailing system. The Weigh Platform and Dynamic Weighing
Module are hardware accessories, whereas differential weighing
is an option that can be by downloaded through a software
upgrade. Contact your sales representative for more information.
