mail piece as it moves through the system when a Shape Based Rating class is selected.

3. Select Class in the Job Properties list box and select the option for Shape Based Rating.
Select any other services required from the Extra services list box on the right of the
screen.
4. Select OK.
5. Place the mail in the feeder.
6. Select Start.
