4. Select Differential Weighing. The system prompts you to place the
mail on the scale.
5. Place the mail on the scale.
• If you have previously selected a class, the system displays the fol-
lowing prompt at the top of the screen: Print tapes automatically
On or Off.
- If you select On, then when you remove each piece of mail, the
system automatically prints a tape.
- If you select Off, you remove the first piece of mail and place it
on the feed deck. The system automatically feeds the mail.
• If you have not previously selected a class, you are prompted to
select one now. For more information, refer to “Selecting the Class,
Carrier, Special Services or Options” in this chapter.
6. Begin removing mail from the scale. Please note the following:
• Remove each piece of mail in a single continuous motion.
• If you mistakenly remove more than one piece of mail, put all of the
pieces of mail back on the scale. If you only put one piece back on,
the system does not print the correct postage.
7. When you remove the last piece of mail from the scale, the system asks
you if you want to print postage. This is in case the last piece you
remove from the scale is the container for the mail.
8. If you are using the optional Power Stacker, we recommend you
remove your mail in manageable stacks and not allow the deck to fill
completely. The system will halt the stacker if it is filled to its maximum
capacity.
