Pitney Bowes DM230L User Manual

Selectiong a class is a required action in order to generate the appropriate 
rate for your mail piece. The procedure for setting a class special service 
or carrier depends on whether you enter the weight of the mail manually or 
use the interfaced scale to weigh your mail piece. Each class has its own 
set of special services. When you select a class only those options available 
for that selection appear in the display. 
Your system automatically calculates the correct postage for your piece of 
mail based on its weight and the class of service you select.

Before selecting a class or special feature, please note the following: 
•  The class that appears in the Ready screen is the one you last  

selected.

•  If you turn off and then turn on the power to your system, the  

previously selected class automatically clears. 

•  If you place a piece of mail on the scale, or enter a weight manually, 

the system automatically prompts you to select a new class if the new 
weight requires a different class. 

•  If your system has an attached scale, we recommend that you turn  

the AutoScale option ON. Refer to the Setting Up an Attached Scale 
section in Chapter 4 of this guide. 

•  When you are done selecting the class and/or special service, print 

the envelope as described in Printing Postage on an Envelope in this 
chapter or print tapes as described in Printing Postage on Tape Strips 
(or Sheets) in this chapter.
