Postage meters
Every PostBase meter has a scale built in, rated for letters and small packages. When you ship boxes, an external scale with more capacity connects to the meter or to your shipping software over USB, so the weight goes straight into the rate calculation and nobody retypes it.
These are the FP scales we sell and support. All three connect by USB; which one you need depends on what it will talk to.

70 lb capacity for MailOne and FP Parcel Shipping.
The Excel 70 is a non-rate-calculating scale: it reports the weight to the PC and the software does the rating. It is made for MailOne and FP Parcel Shipping, and it connects to the computer over USB.

Upgrades a PostBase Vision's built-in scale to 70 lb.
The PVIS scale connects directly to a PostBase Vision meter by USB, with no external power supply, as an upgrade to the integrated scale's capacity. It also works with shipping solutions such as OnShip.

USB scales for the FP Parcel Shipping application.
The PS10 and PS70 are the scales FP Parcel Shipping is designed around, in 10 lb and 70 lb capacities. They connect to your computer by USB and feed the weight into the application for rating and label printing.
Key features
An external scale sits beside the meter or the shipping PC and connects by USB. It takes over from the built-in scale on anything heavier than that scale handles, and because the weight goes straight into the meter or the software, the postage is exact.
