INTRODUCTION
The PS 3000 Electronic Postage Computing Scale is an electronic compendium of postal services
which incorporate and displays the cost of virtually all basic and supplementary postal services. It is graduated
in 1 gram steps throughout its 5000 gram capacity and displays the weight of any item placed on its weighing
platform together with the service(s) selected and total postage cost. It also allows manual weight entry of up to
20kg to assess postal items that are beyond the scale’s weighing capacity.
All countries worldwide are programmed into the PS 3000's database, therefore it is not necessary to
refer to other lists and postal regulations. Simply key the name of the country into the scale via the alphanumeric
multi-function keyboard and the scale will automatically display the postage rates applicable to that country.

SPECIAL FUNCTIONS
The PS 3000 Postage Computing scale has a number of special function keys which provide access to the information contained in its databases and
make the scale extremely versatile.
Key C (i/1/C)
The letter i stand for "information". It is possible to use a combination of several supplementary services. The scale only shows abbreviated messages
for supplementary services that have been selected. You may lose track of what selections were selected. Whenever at least one supplementary
service has been selected in conjunction with a basic service, pressing the "i" key will cause the scale to display each of the services selected one by
one, showing the individual cost of each, and then re-display the total cost. This key can also beused to confirm the name of the Country selected.
Key D ( »/2/D)
The symbol indicates that this key can be used to disable the audio tone which is emitted when keys are pressed to confirm that the scale has
responded to input. The tone can be re-enabled by re-pressing the same key or switching the scale off and on again.
Key (Registered Post or Security Post/SPC/<--)
This key has two special functions "SPC” and "<--" . The "SPC" function is used to enter a space between names when inputting the name of a
Country or City (e.g. NEW ZEALAND / NEDLANDS). The "<--" function is used to browse backwards through the PS 3000's database. Once a
Country or City name has been input alphabetically, it is possible to browse (i.e. in the reverse alphabetical order) from that point through the list of
Countries or Cities held in the database by pressing this key. Each key depression moves back one name.
Key (COD/SEARCH)
There are two entries to the search facility:
1. When the “OVERSEAS” is pressed in international service.
2. Whenever a basic service is selected for an international destination.
The scale offers the choice of entering the destination code directly (if known) or through inputting the name of the country (international post)
alphabetically by pressing the "SEARCH" key. When the key is pressed the scale displays "Enter COUNTRY" enabling the name of the Country to be
input using the appropriate alpha keys. Key in the first few letters of the Country (alphabetically) commencing with the entered letters will appear on
the display together with information about that country. For example:
AUSTRIA
Ctry Code 130
If the Country shown is the one desired press the "ENTER" key. If it is not then press the "<--" or "-->" keys to browse up or down the list of Countries
heldinthePS3000's database until required Country appears and then press the "ENTER" key. The Country name will flash on the display for a few
seconds and the display will then change to show the service selected and the 3-digit country in the first line of the display; weight and the postal cost
in the second line of the display. For example:
