Operation
4.1 System Prompts
The FlexiScale prompts for information in two ways.
• Numeric Entry – This type of prompt appears as a text box with
underscores. Use the numeric keys to enter the requested data and
press the "ENTER" key to complete the entry. If you make a mistake
during the entry, press the "C/CE" key to start over.
• Menu – These prompts are answered by selecting the appropriate
keyboard soft key.
4.2 Soft Keys
During normal operation, the soft keys represent class of mail and special
service keys that are not present on the keyboard. The following are notes on
the soft keys:
• The scale displays the selected soft key selection in a reverse video
mode. This will only be seen at the special services level.
• If more than four menu selections are available, an arrow appears
indicating that additional selections are available by pressing either
the up or down arrow key.
4.3 Mailing or Shipping an Item
There are a number of basic steps to shipping a letter or package. Some carri-
ers may require fewer steps. Refer to Section 4.6 for detailed examples.

Place the letter or package on the scale’s platter and allow the
weight indication to stabilize. For more information on weighing
an item, see Section 4.4.
2.
Press the "C/CE" key until the class of mail and rate no longer
appear on the left side of the display.
3.
Press the soft key corresponding to the desired class of mail.

If necessary, press the soft key corresponding to the item’s sub-
class of mail, e.g. letter for international rates.
