DM800™ Series Digital Mailing System Operating Guide
You can set AutoScale to On or Off.
Select On to enable the AutoScale feature.
Select Off to disable this feature.
If you disable this feature and your system has an attached scale, you
need to select the Attached Scale mode when running mail if you want
your system to weight the mail and calculate postage. Refer to the Select-
ing the Postage Mode and Running Mail section in Chapter 4 in this guide.
1. Press the Menu key on the control center and select Set Up. Press the
down arrow key and select Scale/Rates.
2. Press the screen key for the AutoScale selection to toggle between
On and Off.
3. Press Clear or press the left arrow to exit.
Use this option to set the minimum weight that a piece of mail must weigh
in order to use the differential weighing mode to print postage on a tape or
on a piece of mail. For more information on differential weighing, refer to
the Selecting the Postage Mode and Running Mail section in Chapter 4 in
this guide.
When your system is shipped, the trip weight is set to 0.5 ounces (10
grams). It is best to set the trip weight as high as possible to match the
lowest weight that you will use. For example, a #10 envelope with a single
insert typically weighs 0.4 ounces. In this case, you would set the trip
weight to 0.4 ounces. This will improve the efficiency of your system, espe-
cially in the AutoTape mode.
