Chapter 1: Introduction
Integra™Platform Scale 9K0U Operator Guide SV61955 Rev. A
This user guide covers the operation of the 9K0U scale de-
signed with a separate weighing platform and display unit.
The scale determines the weight of a mailpiece placed on the
platter or platform and calculate rates and fees based on se-
lections made from the keypad. The scale can also interface
with and display a variety of information about Pitney Bowes
electronic postage meters.
The scale enters sleep mode if it remains inactive at zero
weight for more than five minutes. In this state, the display ap-
pears blank. Touch the weight platter/platform to activate the
display.
Follow the normal safety precautions for all office equipment
when using this scale.
• Use only the AC adaptor/power supply included with the
scale.
• To protect against electric shock, plug the AC adaptor into
a properly grounded wall outlet only.
• The wall outlet should be near the scale and easily acces-
sible.
• Avoid using wall outlets controlled by wall switches or
shared with other equipment.
• Do not route the AC adaptor cable over sharp edges or
trap it between furniture.
• Do not disassemble the scale; if it has been dropped or
has otherwise had the enclosure stressed in any way, call
Pitney Bowes at 1-800-522-0020.
• Do not place lighted candles, cigarettes, cigars, etc., on the
scale.
• Use the equipment only for its intended purpose.

Guide
To help you follow the instructions in this book we have used a
number of writing conventions. They deal with how text is pre-
sented to guide you through the information and procedures.
• The word Press refers to the pressing of any character key.
For example, you might be instructed to press the Setup
(H) key or Rate Shop (K) key.
• The word Select refers
to the selecting of menu
items via the softkeys at
the left of the display (see
the drawing at right). For
example, you might be
instructed to select a class
from the menu list.
• Words in bold text after the
words Press or Select are
names of character keys or menu items.
• Notes consist of information that is useful but not critical to
operating the scale.
• Tips are presented between horizontal lines. They suggest
shortcuts or information safeguards.
