If it is a MP30/MP49 attached scale, you should check to make sure it is level. Use these steps:
- Take the top cover off the scale
- Locate the small round glass bubble level
- The bubble should be inside the black circle
- Adjust the feet opposite of the direction the bubble is leaning by turning the feet clockwise
- Always adjust 2 feet on a side together this will keep the scale from rocking
- Once the bubble is level push down on all 4 corners of the scale to make sure the each foot is touching the table
- Replace the top cover
- Check the scale with a known item (Note: Canadian quarters weigh 5 grams each and are a good test)
- Remove the top cover
- Look in the back left hole for a flashing red light
- If there is no light go to check cables
- If there is a red light go to zero scale
Zero the scale
- Go to the Home screen by selecting the green house key
- Select Run Mail
- Select the Weighing button on the bottom of the screen
- Select Attached scale from the list (Note: If the attached scale is grayed out skip to the next section)
- Remove all items off the scale
- Select Zero Scale
- Check the scale with a known item (Note: Canadian quarters weigh 5 grams and are a good test)
Check the USB cables
- Follow these steps to check the USB cables that connect the scale to the Connect+ machine:
- Go to the Home screen by pressing the green house key
- Unplug the USB cable from the back of the scale for 5 seconds and plug it back in
- Follow the cable to the left side of the connect+ and unplug that end for 5 seconds and plug it back in
- Select Run Mail
- Check the scale with a known item (Note: Canadian quarters weigh 5 grams each and are a good test)
- To test the connectivity, use another USB cable
- The scales for the Connect+ use a standard USB 2.0 A to B cable
- If you have a Pitney Bowes 1E20 laser printer connected to the Connect+ that would be the same cable
- Other office equipment such as a PC printer may use the same cable
Reboot the Connect+
- Select the green house at the top of the screen to go to the home screen
- Select Shut Down from the lower right corner
- Select Shut Down from the menu
- Select Shut Down on the pop up
- Wait for the screen to go black and the blue light on the front to go out. This may take several minutes.
- After everything has been off for 10 seconds press the power button to power the Connect+ back up
Note: You should perform a shut down nightly using the shut down icon, not the power button at the front of the equipment
- Select Run Mail
- Check the scale with a known item (Note: Canadian quarters weigh 5 grams each and are a good test)
If your issue is not resolved, contact customer support from 8 am to 8 pm Eastern Time. Have your model number ready.
