Review ▼▲ Keys to highlight the Class you wish to use and then
press Enter/yes.

highlight the service you require.

holds the weight after an item has been removed from the scale and
is used when the size of the item covers the display.
lPlace an item of mail onto the scale. Give the system time to weigh
the item and then remove it. The weight/value holds for a preset time
after the item is removed from the scale to allow you to select the
correct Class, etc.
lTo clear the weight/value before it automatically resets, press
Clear/Back.
Surcharge Payment Carrier

to confirm the amount and print postage in the normal way.

Enter/yes key to confirm, then print the postage onto a tape sheet.

right of the display.

Class key. Use the Review ▼▲ keys to scroll to the Class you
require, then press Enter/yes. Follow prompts to select any
