Running a WEIGH-ON-THE-WAY® (W-O-W®) - First
Piece Only job
Use this method if all of the mailpieces in your job are identical, for example, if they all have the same
number of pages in the same size envelope. Since the system only has to weigh the first piece, this job
runs faster.
In this weighing method, the machine weighs the first mailpiece and processes the remaining mail at
the same postage rate. If Shape Based Rating (SBR) class is used, the first envelope is also
measured.
Caution:
Do not lean on or disturb the system while it is processing mail in this mode. It will
affect the amount of postage applied to the mailpiece.
1. Select the Run Mail button in the Mailing tile on the Home screen.
2. Select a job that uses WEIGH-ON-THE-WAY® (W-O-W®) - first piece only or select the
Weighing icon.
a. Select WOW, first piece only.
b. Select OK.
3. Put all of the mail on the feed deck.
4. Select Start.
Running mail with different shapes and weights
For some classes of service, the Post Office bases the price of the mailpiece on both the weight and
the shape of the item. Systems equipped with Weigh-On-The-Way® (WOW®)/Shaped Based Rating
can weigh and measure the mailpiece as it moves through the system when a Shape Based Rating
class is selected.
