IS/IM/IN/iX Mailing Systems


Turn on the mailing system and ensure the green light indicator is illuminated.
Place your package on the mailing system weighing platform.

Zero the Weighing Platform


To zero your weighing platform, first ensure there are no items on the mailing system weighing platform surface. Hold
the “Scale” button of the mailing system for two seconds, and then press the “OK” button. Wait for the weighing
platform to say "Zero Successful" and press the "OK" button again to go back to the main screen.

“Scale” button “OK” button

Touch screen models use the “C” clear button to perform the zero process.

USB Scale Interface


• Neoship ADVANCED supports the following USB scales:
1. Elane 10 lb scale
2. Elane 30 lb scale
3. Elane 70 lb scale
• The scale plugs directly into the computer running the Neoship application. Each user can have a dedicated scale
on his or her computer.
• Once the USB scale is connected, it will act as the default scale for your Neoship application.
• Standalone scales optimize desktop shipping workflow, saving time and improving processes.
• Consider using a thermal label printer in combination with a standalone scale for maximum efficiency.

4
Hardware (continued)
Interface a USB Scale with Neoship:
1. Connect the USB cable to the back of the scale.

2. Insert the other end of the USB cable into the USB port on the PC.
3. Using your computer mouse, hover over “HELP” on the top menu bar and click “System Requirements Check”.

4. The System Requirements Check will verify your PC operating system, the web browser you are using,
if Java or the Quadient Device Manager is enabled, and if your weighing platform/scale has been detected.
Note: If the browser, the version of Java or the Quadient Device Manager needs to be updated, you will be prompted
during the System Requirements Check.
You can verify connectivity to the standalone scale by looking under the “Detected scales” section
(see image below).

Note: Though both scales will be displayed under the “Detected scales” section, the USB scale becomes the “default”
once it is connected. If you would like to use the weighing platform of the mailing system, simply unplug the USB scale
cable from your computer.

Note: The green mark next to a field denotes a required field.

Package Details
Ship From
From the Neoship application on your PC screen, select the desired Ship From address/department. A Ship From
address is the address from which the package was shipped from. If you want to charge back the shipment to a
specific department, simply pull down the drop-down box and select the appropriate department.

If the department you are looking for is not listed, you can add a new department by clicking on the
“Create new Ship From” icon.

Fill out all of the required fields and click “ADD”.

Packaging Type
Default Package Types
When shipping with USPS® only, Neoship ADVANCED will display three default package types:
1. Package: An item with each dimension (length, width and height) measuring 12 inches or less. If you are unsure,
select "Large Package" on the first page of the price calculator. You will be prompted to enter your package
dimensions and the correct postage price will be calculated based on your entries.
2. Large Package: An item with any one dimension that is greater than 12 inches. Enter the length, width
and height in the provided fields.
3. Irregular Package: An item with any one dimension that is greater than 12 inches and the item is non-rectangular
in shape. Enter the length, width, height and girth in the provided fields. The girth of an item
is calculated by measuring the width and multiplying that number by two, then measure the height and multiply
that number by two, then finally add the two resulting numbers together.
Note: If none of the default package types meet the packaging requirements, you will need to set up a new
package type. See steps below.
When shipping with the USPS® and additional carriers, you will have the option to select from Customer Provided
Packaging or Carrier Packaging. When selecting the Customer Provided Packaging option simply
get the weight and enter the dimensions for your package type. When selecting Carrier Packaging follow
the steps outlined in the section titled "Shipping Carrier Packaging" on page 7.
Define a New Package Type
Defining a new package type is typically used when:
• The type of package that you are shipping is not displayed in the list of package options in "Packaging Type”.
• You want to ship an item using carrier packaging.
• You want to create a short-cut key for commonly used packages. Creating a short cut allows you to
save the characteristics of a particular package type, reducing the total number of shipment steps for
future shipments.
Shipping Carrier Packaging
Each carrier Neoship supports (USPS, FedEx, UPS) provides their own carrier packaging. Boxes and
envelopes with specific branding and rules are displayed under each tab.
Follow the steps below to ship a carrier packaging type:
1. Select carrier packaging from the “Packaging Type” pull down. All commissioned and active carrier
packages will be displayed in the display box.
2. Select a carrier tab to view carrier-specific packaging types.
3. Choose the option that best fits your needs.
4. Click “OK”. Neoship will then display the selected package type and dimensions on the main
shipping page and will highlight the carrier logo with a green box.

7
Shipping (continued)
Creating and Shipping a Custom Package
To create a custom package:
1. Select the “Define custom package type” button.
2. Next, assign a carrier to the package type by selecting the carrier logo. Alternatively, you can select the
“No specific carrier” option, which will allow you to rate shop the shipping rates.
3. Complete the package description by entering the package dimensions and weight.
4. Add a short description to best represent the package. The description will be displayed under the image that
you choose for the item. Notice the preview section on the right side of the screen - as you create the description, it
will be displayed.
5. Add an image that represents the package.
6. As an option, when a carrier is selected, you may choose a service from the drop-down. After selection of a
service, extra service options will be displayed at the bottom of the screen. To add an extra service, select
the corresponding checkbox.
Before completing the custom package, decide whether you want to include this item in the Public or Private
packaging type. Remember, if you make this item “Public”, all users that are registered to the mailing system and
funding account will be able to access and view it.
If you decide to create it as a “Private” package, you will be the only user that will be able to view it in the future.
Note: The application allows up to twenty Public packages per mailing system and funding account.
Additionally, each user is allowed to save up to ten private packages.
As a last step, click “Create” to save.

Weight
Once the package type is chosen, you must weigh the package. The package weight is required to view the
rates available for the package type. You have the option to either capture the weight from an integrated scale
or manually enter the weight in the provided field.
Weighing a Package
USPS®:
When shipping with the USPS®, you must place the item on the integrated scale and click the “GET WEIGHT”
button from the application screen on the PC. If your item exceeds the weight capacity of the scale, please refer to
the “Manual Weight Entry Activation” below.
FedEx®/UPS®:
When shipping with FedEx® and UPS®, you are not required to capture a weight from the scale, although, it is
recommended. If the weight on the shipping label differs from the weight captured by FedEx®/UPS®, they will
charge your account a new amount. In the event you are charged an amount that is different from the original
shipping label, this information will not be visible in Neoship.
Manual Weight
The Manual Weight Entry option is available when you are shipping an item that exceeds the weight capacity
of the scale, is a USPS® Flat Rate envelope or box, or is a FedEx®/UPS® shipment.
When shipping with the USPS®, activate the manual weight entry mode by following the steps below:
1. a) The scale must be empty.
b) The package on the scale exceeds the weight capacity of the scale.
2. Select “GET WEIGHT” on the Neoship screen and a pop-up message will be displayed.
3. Simply select the “Activate Manual Weight Entry” button.
4. Once the feature has been turned on, you can enter the weight of your item and proceed to the next step.
Note: When shipping with the USPS®, the weight fields will be disabled until the steps outlined above are
followed. When shipping with FedEx® and UPS®, you may enter the desired weight in the provided fields at
any time. Once all the required fields within the package details section have been populated, you are ready
to move on to “Recipient Details”.

Recipient Details
Ship to Location
Prior to entering the ship to address, you have the option to process a single shipment or multiple shipment.

9
Shipping (continued)
Single Shipment
A single shipment is used to ship an item to a single location. You have the ability to add your recipient
information in several ways:
1. Enter a Recipient ID. A recipient ID is a short cut key that will auto-populate the information once it has
been created and saved. An ID can contain a mix of letters and numbers. Using an ID will save time on
future shipments.
2. Choose a recipient from the Address Book. If this option is selected, all the required fields will
automatically populate.
3. Enter the recipient information manually. Once the information is manually entered, you have the option
to save the address to your Private or Public Address Book.

Note: Each of the address fields have character count restrictions:


Character

Neoship supports shipping items to USPS APO/FPO/DPO addresses.


APO stands for Army Post Office.
FPO stands for Fleet Post Office.
DPO stands for Diplomatic Post Office.
Mail addressed to military and diplomatic post offices overseas is subject to certain conditions or restrictions
of mailing regarding content, preparation and handling. For more information regarding APO/FPO/DPO,
visit www.usps.com.

10
Shipping (continued)
Shipping to an APO/FPO/DPO address:
1. Enter the recipient information manually in the provided fields.
2. Scroll to the bottom of the state drop-down list and select one of the options under "Armed Forces".
3. Enter APO, FPO or DPO in the "City" field.
Shipping to a US Territory/Possession:
1. Enter the recipient information manually in the provided fields.
2. Scroll to the bottom of the state drop-down list and select one of the options under
“Territory, Possession, or Freely Associated State”.
Note: A US territory is any extent of region under the sovereign jurisdiction of the federal government of the
United States, including all waters and US naval vessels.
Note: A customs form will only be required for a US territory if the package weighs more than 1 lb.
When a customs form is required, Neoship will enable the customs forms button and auto-create the form.
Multiple Shipment
Multiple shipment is used to create a batch shipment.
Batch Processing allows you to apply a set of shipping characteristics across multiple addresses and shipping labels.
• All items within a batch typically share the same profile – (i.e. same box/envelope size and weight; extra
services). The only difference is the “ship-to address”.
• Batch Processing improves efficiency by automating repetitive tasks.
• Batches are tracked through a unique ID that is created within Neoship ADVANCED.
Neoship ADVANCED supports:
• Up to 100 shipments per batch
• Unlimited number of batches
When creating a batch shipment, you have the ability to add your recipient information in several ways:
1. Enter the ID. If this option is selected, the address that is part of the selected ID will be chosen.
2. Choose an already created Address Group. If this option is selected, all the addresses will automatically
be chosen.
3. Manually create a batch.
Note: Neoship does not support importing Address Groups from the main shipping screen.

11
Shipping (continued)
How to Create a Batch
Complete the steps in "Package Details".
Select "Multiple Shipment".
Click "CREATE BATCH".
Note: The only addresses that can be added to the batch are existing addresses from the Address Book.
Each batch can consist of up to 100 addresses.
Note: Rate Shopping is not available when in Multiple Shipment mode.

To add addresses to a batch, click the “<” icon next to the address that you would like to add. The address
will move under the “Batch Addresses” heading.

Once all the applicable addresses have been added to the batch, click "CONTINUE" to finalize the shipment.
If this batch will be used again in the future, click "SAVE AS ADDRESS GROUP".
Address Groups
What are Address Groups?

• A collection of “Ship To” addresses


• Address Groups save time when shipping similar items to a list of recipients
• Address Groups reduce errors
Address Groups can:
• Be modified and edited
• Contain up to 100 addresses
• Be saved to either the Public or Private Address Book

12
Shipping (continued)
Note: An Address Group saved to a Public Address Book can only consist of addresses that originate in the
Public Address Book.
Note: A Private Address Group can consist of a mix of Private and Public addresses.
Note: You cannot create a batch with a mix of domestic and international addresses. The addresses within
the batch need to be all domestic or the same international country.
Public Address Books support up to 10,000 address entries.
• Each “saved” Address Group qualifies as one entry within the Public or Private Address Book.
• 10,000 address entries represents the total number of available spaces that can consist of a mix of
addresses and groups (i.e. if a Public Address Book consists of 7,000 addresses, you can have up to
3,000 Address Groups for a total of 10,000 entries).
Private Address Books support up to 1,000 address entries (per user).
• 1,000 is the max combination for addresses and groups (i.e. 800 addresses reside in the Private
Address Book, leaving up to 200 entries available for Address Groups).
• Private is 1,000 per user and supports up to 100 users.
To create an Address Group, follow the "How to Create a Batch" steps outlined on page 12.

• The import process is extremely flexible, allowing users to “click and drag” which data elements they want to capture
All addresses are validated upon import.
1. Hover over “ADDRESS BOOK” and click “Import Addresses”.
Note: Before using the Address Book import feature, ensure you have created and saved an Address Book file with

B. Locate your .CSV file
C. Upload the file

B
C

3. Once the file has been uploaded, it is time to design address fields to meet your specific business needs. This feature
is extremely flexible and uses a “click and drag” method for design.
There are three areas of the screen that will be used during this process.
• Available CSV Field – All of the data that was just uploaded from the .CSV file is located here.
• Map CSV Field – Data elements from the “Available CSV Field” will be moved to the “Map CSV Field” based on
your business requirements.
Note: The system is flexible enough that you can move multiple fields from the “Available CSV Field” into “Map CSV
Field”. For example, you can drag the last name from the “Available CSV Field” to the “Map CSV Field”. Next, you can
drag the first name from the “Available CSV Field” to the “Map CSV Field”. You have the option for each field to be
independent
of one another, or you can combine both into one field.
• Address Field – Represents the end result of how data elements were arranged in the “Map CSV Field” area.

Address Book Imports Tips and Tricks


• With Neoship, you can import up to 10,000 addresses at a time to the Public Address Book. Additionally, you can
import up to 1,000 addresses to each Private Address Book.
• Once the addresses are imported, they can only be removed one at a time from the Address Book. Verify the file
for accuracy prior to importing.
• If an address ID is not assigned during import, Neoship will automatically assign the address ID. An address ID is
a shortcut that can be used to automatically retrieve an address from the Address Book.
• Address IDs should be no greater than 10 characters long. If the ID is longer than 10 characters, when you edit
that address, the ID will automatically be truncated to 10 characters.
• During the import process, the phone number length and type of characters are not validated. Verify the phone
number entered for accuracy.
• When importing international addresses, you are required to use the two character country code for proper
importing.
• An international address will not be verified during the import process. The address will be validated during the
time of shipment.
• To override a duplicate address during importing, the address ID must be identical.

will automatically be charged for the original amount of the shipment.
Upon cancellation of a shipment, the status of the shipment transaction will be updated to "Cancelled".
The User ID and time/date stamp of the cancelled event will be saved with the transaction history.

against the law. You have the option to back out of the refund process or continue with it. You will notice that once the
refund is initiated, a dollar sign symbol and a green arrow appear. This is referred to as a “conditional refund”. As soon
as the refund is initiated, 90% of the funds will be replenished into the account.
Note: The USPS® will research “refund requests” and if the request is rejected, the refund amount will be reversed in
the Quadient Postage Funding account. The research process will take up to 45 days from the
initial refund request.
Once the refund request has been completely researched, the icon will change in the “Refund” column. For rejected
refund requests, a red “X” will appear. For refund requests that are accepted, a green check mark “√” will appear.
