5.1.3.1 Weighing a mail piece

This chapter describes how to use the built-in scale in standard weighing mode. If the
differential weighing mode is set, the info panel in the Home screen, displays 'Differ-
ential weighing'. Refer to chapter 16.12 on page 119 to learn how to set the weighing
mode.
Caution! Please observe the following instructions for handling the built-in
scale:
– Observe the maximum weight capacity (depending on the model or
feature upgrade).
– The scale only determines a new weight if the scale has previously been
unloaded. Therefore, always clear the weighing platform before placing a
mail piece on it for weighing.
– 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 incorrect weighing that
would result in incorrect postage setting.
• Place the mail piece on the weighing
platform.
PostBase Vision emits a tone when the scale
has determined the weight of the mail piece.
