Weighing Methods; Running A Manual Weight Entry Job - Pitney Bowes SendPro P Series User Manual

Running mail
If the condition prevents the system from completing the job, like "Out or postal ink", it provides
l
instructions on how to correct the condition and then continue to process the mail.
If you attempt to process a mailpiece whose weight or size is not appropriate for the job class,
l
the system will offer to auto rate the mailpiece or you, or provide you with the option of selecting
another class.

Weighing methods

When creating a postal job, you can select from the following weighing methods.
The WEIGH-ON-THE-WAY® (W-O-W®)* method processes mixed mail (mail of varying sizes
l
and weights, depending your system configuration) and determines the postage amount based
on the weight and dimensions of each mailpiece.
Use the WEIGH-ON-THE-WAY® (W-O-W®), first piece only method for mailpieces that are
l
identical (same size and number of sheets). The system weighs the first piece of mail to be fed
and calculates the postage. The rest of the stack will be posted with the same postage as the
first piece.
Use the Attached scale method if you do not know the weight of the piece of mail.
l
Use the Manual weight entry* method if you want to type in the weight of an item that you
l
weighed on a separate scale. This is useful for items that exceed the weight capacity of the
attached scale or mailings that are always the same weight.
Use the Differential weighing* method if you want to place all of the mail on the scale at once,
l
then remove and run each piece 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.

Running a Manual Weight Entry job

When you need to use a scale that is not connected to your system, you can still use the system to
calculate the postage for you.
1. Select the Run Mail button in the Mailing tile on the Home screen.
2. Select a job that uses Manual weight entry.
3. Place the mailpiece on the detached scale and note its weight.
