Abstract
According to the invention, a multiranging scale which operates in two weighing modes, a high range mode and a low range mode, and which displays not only weight but rate and/or charge information associated with mailing or shipping an article, is inhibited from displaying or outputting a signal indicative of the rate and/or charge when in the high range mode of operation the weight of the article is below a threshold, thereby causing the user to select the low range mode of operation. In addition to inhibiting the rate/charge display an audible or visual signal may be provided to more actively cue the user to switch to the low range weighing mode.
