Each carrier has its own set of classes and each class has its own set of
special services. When you select a class or carrier, only those options
available for that selection display in the main screen.
NOTE: When selecting a class/carrier:
• If your system has been set up to retain the class on each piece of mail
weighed then the class that appears in the main screen will be the one you
selected last.
• If you turn off and then turn on the power to your system, or if your system
has been set up to clear the class on each piece of mail weighed, it will clear
the class. In this case, you need to select a new class.
• If you place a piece of mail on the scale, or enter a weight manually, the system
automatically prompts you to select a new class if the new weight
requires a different class.
1. Press the Class key. A list of available classes appears in the screen.
2. Select the class and press Enter.
3. If a Postal Code or Zone is required, you are prompted to enter it. Press
Enter to accept it. For more information, refer to “Selecting Postal
Codes and Zones” in this section.
4. If a country is required, you are prompted to select it. Press Enter to
accept. For more information, refer to Selecting a Country in this section.
5. If special services are available with the class you select, they are displayed.
6. Even if you do not want any special services, press the Enter key to
confirm the class.
7. Press the Tape key to print a postage tape. To apply postage to a piece
of mail, place it on the feed deck and press the Start key.
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.
If you are using an external scale to weigh mail, depending on the class
and weight, you may need to enter a Code or Zone to calculate the postage.
For the latest Code/Zone information contact your local post office.
• If you do not know the zone, type in the Code and the machine converts
it to the proper zone.
• If you know the zone, you may type it in directly using the number keyboard.
• Do not enter the zone if you are in the WOW mode; it will only take a
Code.
If your class requires you to select another country:
1. A list of countries appears in the display. You can scroll through the
countries: using the up/down arrows; by typing in the first few letters of
the country until you get a match; or by typing in the numeric code for
that country.
2. Select the country you want.
