1.0 INTRODUCTION
The Triner Model VP-70 Digital Postal Computing Scale is designed for USPS retail and
mailroom shipping applications. It is equipped with many helpful features that guide the
operator through the day-to-day mailing activities. It provides speedy, user-friendly
operation, and is fully updateable to future postal rates and zone changes. The scale
has a maximum weighing capacity of 70 pounds and is factory calibrated.
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.
1.1. UNPACKING AND VERIFYING CONTENTS
The VP-70 is a sophisticated electronic instrument, designed specifically to meet
USPS requirements for accuracy in operation. When unpacking, be sure to guard
against dropping the scale.
Carefully unpack and inspect the carton contents:
• VP-70 Scale
• Weighing Platform
• AC adapter
• USB Computer Cable
• Operation Manual
• Warranty Registration Card
• Meter Interface Cable (If purchased separately)
PREPARING THE SCALE FOR OPERATION
After verifying and inspecting the carton contents, the
simple steps described in Section 2, “Getting Started”
must be followed in order to assure proper operation of
the scale.
Not following the specified steps can result in
INNACURATE WEIGHING AND RATING.

2-1
2.0 GETTING STARTED
After unpacking the scale, a small amount of preparation is required before the scale can be
used for mailing or shipping. Please refer to Figure 2-1 below as needed.
Figure 2-1: VP-70 Rear Panel
Step 1. Lift the stainless steel platform off the scale and discard the shipping cardboard.
Place the platform back onto the scale.
Step 2. Position the scale in its area of intended use. Observe the following guidelines
for suitable location.
1. Choose a firm and stable table, counter, or other surface.
2. Do not share an AC outlet with electrical noise producing equipment, such as
refrigeration units. This includes products with electrical motors and/or relays.
3. Do not place the scale in an area with changing ambient temperature and/or high
humidity.
4. Do not place the scale in an area prone to exposure to direct sunlight, wind, or dust.
5. Do not place the scale in an area with vibrating equipment.
Step 3. Install the AC Adapter.
1. After placing the scale in its area of use, locate the Model A41408 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. Adjust the leveling feet so that the scale is level and not “rocking” corner to
corner.
Step 5. Turn the scale ON to begin the initialization.
Step 6. Initialization - The first time the scale is turned on you will be required to enter
your origination 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 the ZIP Code from which all items will be mailed. There
is no need to press the ENTER key.

5.0 ADVANCED FEATURES AND OPERATION
5.1 PROGRAMMABLE SHORTCUT KEYS
The scale contains 10 programmable shortcut keys, which are very powerful macros that
can be used to save keystrokes and valuable time. The shortcuts are stored and
retrieved by using the numeric keys 0-9.
All 10 shortcuts must be shared between the two USPS Price Categories (Retail and
Commercial). Therefore, a shortcut key programmed for a Priority Retail Package will
not apply for a Priority Commercial Package.
To use a shortcut, the user must first switch to the price category in which it was
originally created.
Out of the box there are six (6) preprogrammed factory shortcuts for USPS Retail. These
shortcuts can be changed, modified or deleted to suit your application.
Key Number Shortcut Description
1 First Class Letter
2 First Class Large Envelope
3 First Class Parcel
4 Priority Parcel
5 Express Package
6 Parcel Post
7 <OPEN>
8 <OPEN>
9 <OPEN>
0 <OPEN>
Factory Default USPS Retail Shortcuts
5.1.1 How to Program Shortcuts
1. Place a letter on the scale platform.
2. Select the class of mail and (if desired) special services.
3. Press and Hold a numeric key (0-9) of your choice.
4. When you hear the double beep and the screen says "Shortcut Saved" you
may release the numeric key
The most important thing to remember about shortcuts is that they will save you
time and are easy to program on the fly. To create a shortcut, simply place a letter on the
scale, navigate to the service then press and Hold a number key. When the scale double-
beeps and displays “Shortcut Saved”, you are done.
You can then run a shortcut at anytime by pressing a single number key!

Page 5-2
Example #1: Create a shortcut for a First Class Mail International Letter
1. Place a letter on the scale platform.
2. Press the SCREEN DOWN key.
3. Press the INTL soft key.
4. Press the 1ST CLASS soft key.
5. Press the LETTER soft key.
6. Input country code 337 (Canada).
When the shortcut is run the scale will prompt for a new country code.
7. Press and Hold the number “0” key until the screen says "Shortcut Saved"
then release the key.
Example #2: Create a shortcut for a First Class Letter with Certified and
Return Receipt
1. Place a letter on the scale platform.
2. Press the 1ST CLASS soft key.
3. Press the LETTER soft key.
4. Press the CERT soft key.
5. Press the RET RCPT soft key.
8. Press and Hold the number “0” key until the screen says "Shortcut Saved"
then release the key.
5.1.2 How to Run a Shortcut
Generally a shortcut can be run at any time by pressing the number key assigned
to that shortcut. The procedure is as follows:
1. Place item on scale platform.
2. Press the NUMBER (0-9) key of the shortcut to execute.
3. Shortcut runs then proceed with the weighing and rating session.
Below are some notes and tips for running shortcuts:
• To use a shortcut, make sure to switch to the price category (Retail or Commercial) in
which it was originally created.
• When a shortcut is run the scale will prompt for any additional information as needed (i.e.
Zip Code, Country Code, Insurance Value, etc).
• With the factory default shortcuts on keys 1,2, and 3 you can quickly switch between 1ST
Class Letters, Large Envelopes, and Packages.
• With the factory default shortcuts on keys 4,5,and 6 you can quickly rate shop between
Priority, Express and Parcel Post.
