Defining Custom Preset Values
1. Enter the values for the mail job (for example, the weighing mode, the
postage value, class and carrier etc.) that correspond to the values you
want to be able to call up in the future by selecting a custom preset key.
For example, you may want to define a set of conditions so that the
envelopes are sealed only (no postage applied).
NOTE: Proceed as if you were actually running a job. Select the mode and
class and service etc. By doing this, you are entering the values that you will
use for the normal preset. Refer to Chapter 4, Running Mail in this guide for
more information on selecting mode and class.
2. Press the Custom Presets key.
3. Press the right arrow key.
4. Select Store Current Setting to Preset.
5. A list of presets, starting with "0 Normal" appears. Select one of the pre-
sets that has not been defined yet. These presets are named "Avail-
able". To change an existing preset, refer to Editing Custom Preset
Values in this section.
6. The system prompts you to "Enter New Preset Name". Type in the
name using the alphanumeric keys.
7. Press the Enter key. The "View Preset" screen appears and displays
all of the values you defined in this session.
8. To use these values in the future, simply press the Custom Presets
Key and select the screen key corresponding to this preset name.
9. Press the Enter key to return to the main screen.
This feature may be offered as a standard or optional feature and is not
available on all Pitney Bowes solutions. Please contact your local account
representative to determine if this option is accessible on your system.
In order to store an Advance Date setting in a custom preset, you need to
first turn on this feature. For information on setting an advance date, refer
to Meter Stamp Options: Date section in Chapter 4 in this guide.
To enable this feature:
1. Press the Custom Presets key.
2. Press the right arrow key and the "Set Up Preset" screen opens.
3. Select Date Advance. The following message appears: "If set on, pre-
sets stored when the date is not advanced will return the system to
today's date."
• Select On to turn on this feature and store the date advance.
• Select Off if you want to turn off the feature.
4. Refer to the examples on the next page for more information on how
storing the Advance Date in custom presets works.
NOTE: If you create a custom preset with the Advance Date feature turned
off and you recall this preset, the current date setting is not affected.
Example 1 - If today is Wednesday and you set the advance date for 2
days* and store this advance in a custom preset, then:
• if you recall the preset on the same day (Wednesday) it will print Fri-
day's date on your postage.
