Weighing Methods

When creating a postal job, you can select from the following weighing methods.
WEIGH-ON-THE-WAY® (W-O-W®) - This method processes mixed mail (mail of vary-
l
ing sizes and weights, depending your system configuration) and determines the postage
amount based on the weight and dimensions of each mail piece.
WEIGH-ON-THE-WAY® (W-O-W®), first piece only - Use this method for mail pieces
l
that are 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.
Attached scale - Use this method if you do not know the weight of the piece of mail.
l
Manual weight entry - Use this method if you want to enter 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.
Differential weighing - Use this method if you want to place all of the mail on the scale at
l
once, 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.
NOTE: WEIGH-ON-THE-WAY® and differential weighing are optional features.
