INTRODUCTION

The PS 3000 Electronic Postage Computing Scale is an electronic compendium of postal services
which incorporate and displays the cost of virtually all basic and supplementary postal services. It is graduated
in 1 gram steps throughout its 5000 gram capacity and displays the weight of any item placed on its weighing
platform together with the service(s) selected and total postage cost. It also allows manual weight entry of up to
20kg to assess postal items that are beyond the scale’s weighing capacity.

All countries worldwide are programmed into the PS 3000's database, therefore it is not necessary to
refer to other lists and postal regulations. Simply key the name of the country into the scale via the alphanumeric
multi-function keyboard and the scale will automatically display the postage rates applicable to that country.
