Running Mail
Checklist Before Running Mail
Before you run mail on your digital postage meter, review these
items:
• Make sure your postage meter is plugged into a properly grounded, 110 VAC receptacle. Always follow the safety precautions
listed in Section 1- Introduction.

3 • Running Mail
Determining the Amount of Postage to Use
The amount of postage on a mail piece is based on CPC regulations
and involves factors such as:
• class of mail
• weight
• how fast you want the mail piece delivered
• optional add-on CPC Services (such as A.R. Card, Coverage,
and Registration)
The internal rating feature for Lettermail rates calculates the postage
amount automatically based on the weight of the mail piece and the
class of mail you select.
Applying Postage
There are several ways you can apply postage using your postage
meter. Each method is described in its own section that follows.
NOTE 1: For applying postage, the postage meter does not have to
be connected to a phone line. However, when you need to add funds
to your postage meter, you must be connected to an analog phone
line (see Section 5 - Adding Postage/Connecting to Data Centre for
more information).
NOTE 2: The
meter automatically advances the date at 12:00 AM.
3-2 SV61503 Rev. A
3 • Running Mail
Processing a Letter Using the Optional Scale
All mail pieces under 500g are considered Lettermail and the postage for these items must be calculated using the internal rating
feature. The following outlines the procedure for rating Lettermail.
NOTE: You cannot key in a postage value for an item that falls within
a valid Lettermail postage amount.
1. Place mail piece on scale. The weight of the mail piece appears
on the display.
NOTE: If there was no class specified on the display when you
placed the mail piece, you may need to scroll and select the desired class (if you are unsure if a particular class is best for your
mail piece, call your local post office or visit www.canadapost.ca).
Otherwise, the postage meter selects a class based on the weight
of the mail piece.
2. The display shows the final postage amount and class chosen.
3. Slide the envelope (or tape sheet
if mail piece is too big for machine)
into the mail deck. The postage
meter prints the digital indicia and
indicates when to remove the mail
piece.
