Running an Attached Scale job

If you have a large mail piece that cannot be fed through your machine and you have an attached scale,
use the Attached Scale method. Note that the system will automatically select this method if you place a
piece of mail on your attached scale. It will also display the weight of the mail piece next to the Weighing
icon on the Run Mail screen. If the scale is not set to zero when there is no weight on the scale you can
reset it to zero.
1. Select the Run Mail button in the Mailing tile on the Home screen.
2. Select a job that uses an attached scale or select the Weighing icon.
a. Select the Attached scale option.
b. Make sure the scale reads 0 when there are no mail pieces or any objects on the scale. If
necessary, select Zero Scale.
c. Select OK.
3. Place the mail piece on the scale. The amount displays next to the Weighing icon.
Note:
If you remove the mail piece from the scale, a timer begins and when the timer expires, the Run
Mail screen displays the minimum postage amount for the class you selected and the weight
returns to zero. This timer can be set in the range of 10 to 60 seconds. Refer to Setting System
Timeouts for information on setting the timer.
4. If you are printing on tape, select Tape. If you are printing postage on the mail piece, place the
piece on the feed deck and select Start.
