About Presets

What are Presets

A preset stores commonly used values for settings like postage amount, class, advertisement, inscription, custom text or any special services. These value options will vary upon how your machine is configured. Your machine has two types of presets, Default and Custom.

Default Preset

The Default Preset comes pre-configured in your machine. This preset contains the most frequently used values for class and postage amount (First-Class Metered Mail with no additional options)(Lettermail with no additional options). These values appear on the touchscreen when you tap the Mail screen and when you tap the Default Preset button. You can edit the Default Preset values, see Changing the Default Preset

Custom Presets

Your machine can store up to 10 additional presets, called Custom Presets. Custom Presets cannot be edited once established; however, they can be deleted and a new Custom Preset can then be established. See Defining a New Custom Preset.

Important:

Always Include the USPS Class in the Preset

When setting up the preset, be sure to include the USPS class. This ensures that whenever there is a USPS rate change and you download the new rates to your mailing machine, your preset will be automatically updated with the new postage rate.

Default Preset Notes:

The Default Preset must include a class
You cannot modify the name of the Default Preset, but you can edit the values
You cannot assign an account to the Default Preset (if you have enabled the accounting feature)
When a rate change becomes effective, always check the postage values assigned to all presets to make sure that they comply with the new rates

Custom Preset Notes:

There is no option to edit a Custom Preset, but you can define a new Custom Preset based on the current condition of the machine (and then delete your old Custom Preset).
When a rate change becomes effective, always check the postage values assigned to all presets to make sure that they comply with the new rates.
