Setting the Normal Preset to a Value

The normal preset is a shortcut; a single button selection to call up your most frequently used settings. Many customers choose to set the
Normal preset to the cost of a 1 oz First Class letter, since that is the most frequently used setting. Whenever your meter is powered on, or
wakes from the sleep mode, it will display the Normal preset values.
