CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the TS-70PX / XI Digital Postal Computing Scale. This unit is
designed specifically for the US Postal Service and is loaded with many features that
guide you through day to day mailing activities. It is also very user friendly and is fully
updateable to future postal rates and zone changes. The Model TS-70PX / Xi has a
maximum weighing capacity of 70 pounds.
Prior to using the scale, please read this user’s guide carefully and completely. Store the
manual in a safe and convenient place so it will be available if you have questions
concerning the operation of the scale.
VERY IMPORTANT!
Before you use the TS-70PX / Xi for calculating postal rates your zip code
must be programmed into the scale. This is to ensure proper zip to zone
conversion. Please refer to the Zip Code Setup Menu section 6.2 in this
manual for information on programming your zip code.
Your new scale is Factory Calibrated. Do not attempt to calibrate the scale
without contacting a Triner Scale technician. Call 1-800-238-0152 for
assistance.

• Do not place the scale in an area with changing ambient temperature and/or high
humidity.
• Do not place the scale in an area prone to exposure to direct sunlight, wind, or dust.
• Do not place the scale in an area with vibrating equipment.
Step 2. Connect the scale to postage meter interface cable (TS-70Xi Only).
Step 3. Install the AC Adapter.

2. Connect the female end of the AC Adapter to the connector on the rear of
scale, and then plug the adapter into an AC outlet.
Step 4. Turn the scale’s AC power on to begin the initialization.
Step 5. Initialization - The first time the scale is turned on you may be
required to enter your origin ZIP Code.
1. When the AC power switch is placed “ON” position, the scale prompts for your
“origin ZIP Code ???”.
2. Enter the first three digits of your ZIP Code. The scale displays the ZIP Code
entered and prompts you to verify (Yes or No) if the ZIP Code displayed is
correct.
3. If the ZIP Code is correct, press the “Yes” (Enter) key to complete the
initialization or if the ZIP Code is incorrect, press the “No” (Clear) key and enter
