5.1.3.3 Differential weighing (optional)

PostBase Vision optionally supports differential weighing (stack weighing). This
allows you to weigh and meter larger quantities of similar mail pieces quickly and con-
veniently. You simply place a stack of letters on the scale and remove one letter at a
time. PostBase Vision measures the change in weight and determines the appropri-
ate postage. You can meter each letter immediately or weigh all letters from the stack
and sort them by postage. Letters with the same postage can then be metered
together in a single operation.
Caution! Please observe the following instructions for handling the built-in
scale:
– Observe the maximum permissible weight (depending on equipment).
– The scale does not determine a new weight while the letter transport unit
is running. Wait until the letter transport unit stops before placing a mail
piece on the weighing platform.
– When weighing large format mail pieces, make sure that the mail pieces
do not touch the display housing. This prevents the weighing results from
being falsified and insufficient metering.
• Set the weighing mode to "Differential
