CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION TO THE TRINER MODEL TS-70MC / MCI POSTAL COM-

PUTING SCALE

The Triner Model TS-70MC / MCI Digital Postal Computing Scale is designed for mailroom and

shipping applications. It is equipped with many helpful features that guide the operator through

the day-to-day mailing activities.

Prior to using the scale, please read this user’s guide carefully and completely. Store the manual

in a safe and convenient place so it will be available if you have questions concerning the opera-

tion of the scale.

VERY IMPORTANT!

Before you use the TS-70MC / MCI for calculating shipping rates the first three

digits of your zip code must be programmed into the scale. This is to ensure

proper zip to zone conversion. Please refer to the Zip Code Setup Menu sec-

tion 6.2 in this manual for information on programming your zip code.

Your new scale is Factory Calibrated. Do not attempt to calibrate the scale

without contacting your local dealer or a Triner Scale technician. Call 1-800-238-

0152 for assistance.

3. Do not place the scale in an area with changing ambient temperature and/or high humidity.

4. Do not place the scale in an area prone to exposure to direct sunlight, wind, or dust.

5. Do not place the scale in an area with vibrating equipment.

tep 2. Install the AC Adapter.

1. After placing the scale in its area of use, locate the AC Adapter.

2. Connect the female end of the AC Adapter to the connector on the rear of scale, and then

plug the adapter into an AC outlet.

Step 3. Turn the scale’s AC power on to begin the initialization.

Step 4. Initialization - The first time the scale is turned on you will be required to enter your origin ZIP

Code.

1. When the AC power switch is placed in the “ON” position, the scale prompts for your “origin

ZIP Code”.

2. Enter the first three digits of your ZIP Code. The scale displays the ZIP Code entered and

prompts you to verify (Yes or No) if the ZIP Code displayed is correct.

3. If the ZIP Code is correct, press the “Yes” (Enter) key to complete the initialization or if the

ZIP Code is incorrect, press the “No” (Clear) key and enter the correct ZIP Code.
