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 dif-
ferential 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 dis-
appears.
1. Select theRun Mail button 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.
