Descriptions of Weighing Modes
3
Each weighing mode has a corresponding icon for quick identification.
• Dynamic Weighing Weigh all (Dynamic Weighing Module) (
Using the Dynamic Weighing Module is the fastest and most efficient method of
weighing and rating mixed mail processed through the Mailing System. It uses
a patented, four-point detection system to weigh and rate mail. It measures the
length, width, thickness and weight to properly determine the mailing format
within the mail class (that is to say letter vs. flat) and rate the mail pieces.
• Dynamic Weighing, Weigh First Piece (Dynamic Weighing Module) (
In this mode, you place a set of identical mail on the feed hopper. The Dynamic
Weighing Module will only measure and weigh the first piece and then apply
that postage to entire batch. In this mode, the system will also set the mail class
for reporting and print the mail class inscription on the envelope. This is the
recommended mode for non-mixed mail processing. As it only validates and rates
the first piece, processing speeds are significantly faster that in the Dynamic
Weighing Batch Mode.
• Standard Weighing (Weighing Platform) (
In this mode, you manually weigh each item by placing it on the Weighing
Platform. When the item is removed from the platform, it is either processed
through the Mailing System or a postage label is printed and affixed to it.
• Differential Weighing (Weighing Platform) (
This mode is a semi-automated method of weighing mail that speeds up the
weighing process. In this mode, you can place a stack or container of mail on the
Weighing Platform. The weight is then calculated as each mail piece is removed
from the Weighing Platform (by calculating the differential from the amount on
the Weighing Platform less the weight removed). The Mailing System
automatically starts and stops as each piece is processed through the system.
A label can be dispensed at any time in this mode.
You can use a tray on the Weighing Platform: the Mailing System will ask you to
confirm printing for the last item removed (the tray). To always use the tray, tare
