Creating a default preset on the DM50, DM55

A preset is a snapshot of franking machine settings that are most commonly used. It creates what is known as a default. If the preset feature is enabled, the franking machine shows the preset values when it is turned on or 'wakes up' after sleep mode.

The franking machine can only hold one preset. To edit the current preset, create a new preset to replace the existing one.

To use a preset, the preset feature must first be enabled.

To create a new franking machine preset, you first need to select the desired settings on your franking machine: carrier, class, mail type, envelope message.

   • Class and Mail type (Letter, Large Letter, etc).
   • Account (if the meter's Accounting feature is enabled).
   • Ad (Envelope Message).
2. If you are happy with these settings, proceed to step 3. Otherwise, from the Home screen, press Enter/Yes to select new values:
   • Carrier
   • Class
   • Mail type (Letter, Large Letter, etc)
