See DMM 245. 7. 5 for details, When you choose to use reduced overflow trays, you must group the mail that is going into the next tray level by destination and place it at the front of the tray. Make Overflow Trays options Description Possible advantages Possible disadvantages None Overflow Pieces drop to the next level where they're charged a higher rate. Extra pieces that don't fit in the tray go into another (partial) tray of pieces at the same level. The pieces do not drop to the next level, where they would be charged a higher rate Places the "overflow" pieces from that level into the tray for the next level, but keeps postage at the same rate for those pieces. Reduced trays are not available for Periodicals. May create fewer, fuller trays. May decrease postage. May increase postage. May create more trays, and the trays may be less full. Reduced May decrease postage. May create fewer, fuller trays. Sack size You can control the maximum size of your mailing sacks by weight or volume. Either the weight or volume limit applies, not both. To determine which limit to apply, the software uses the limit that results in the smaller number of pieces. For example, if you're mailing large, lightweight pieces, it may take only 10 pieces to fill a sack by volume, but 300 pieces to fill a sack by weight. So your sacks would be limited by volume. If you're mailing printed matter, weight is usually the limiting factor. If you raise the limits too high, you may end up lugging heavy, very full sacks. If you set them too low, the software forms more sacks, and you may waste time by handling more sacks than necessary. Number of pieces per package In some schemes, you can control the minimum number of pieces per package. Increasing the minimum number of pieces required per package reduces labor. Reducing the minimum number of pieces forms smaller packages; this increases deliverability. However, it doesn't save postage and it requires more labor because there are more packages to band and, in Periodicals jobs, more containers to handle. It may also complicate your mailing documentation. That's why very few mailers choose to form small packages. The software forms packages in two passes. First, it forms all possible reducedrate packages that have at least six pieces. [. . . ] Choose Start > Programs > Command Prompt. 368 User Guide 2.
