Weighing
Mode Selection:
Weigh First Piece
Mode Selection: Weigh First Piece
This feature is available only on systems that have the optional
WEIGH-ON-THE-WAY™ (WOW™) module installed.
In this mode, the machine weighs the first mail piece and processes the
remaining mail at the same postage rate.
WARNING! Do not lean on or disturb the system while it is
processing mail in this mode. It will affect the amount of postage
applied to the mail piece.
To run mail in this mode:
1. Press the
Mode key.
2. Select Weight First Piece.
3. Press the Class key and select the class. For more information, refer
to 5 Se��ectin� a C��ass, Carrier or Specia�� Service in this chapter.
4. Press the Seal key and select your sealing option.
5. Place the stack of mail on the feed deck.
6. Press the
Start key.
This option is available on your system if it has the optional integrated plat-
form scale or an attached external scale.
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 sys-
tem 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 dif-
ferential weighing to have the system automatically print a tape every time
you remove a piece of mail from the scale.
Before using differential weighing:
• Make sure each piece of mail weighs at least as much as the amount
specified as the differential trip weight during the installation of your
mailing system. Refer to the Set Up the Sca��e/Se��ect Rates:Diff Wei�h
Trip Wei�ht section in Chapter 5 in this guide.
• Make sure the stack of mail is less than the capacity of the scale. If
"overweight" appears on the display, remove pieces of mail until the
message disappears.
