thickness, length, and width of the envelope get measured. Depending on the weight and
measurements, the appropriate postage rate gets selected and the postage is calculated.
If an item's postage cannot be calculated because of its weight or dimension, use the attached scale
method and manually select the appropriate class.

Running a differential weighing mail job

Differential weighing is available on your meter if it has an attached scale and you have subscribed to
this feature. This option allows you to place all of the mail on the scale, then remove each piece, one at
a time and run it through the meter. The meter calculates the postage for each piece of mail you
remove from the scale and applies the postage to the mail as feeds through the meter.
For larger pieces of mail (large envelopes or packages), use differential weighing to automatically print
a tape every time you remove a piece of mail from the scale.
Before using differential weighing:
Make sure each piece of mail weighs at least as much as the amount specified as the differential
l
weighing threshold.
Make sure the stack of mail is less than the capacity of the scale. If Weight exceeds scale
l
capacity appears on the screen, remove some mail until the message disappears.
