An explanation of the menus and icon bar is shown below the print screen:

Menus

File menu: Can be used to Exit the view. If opened using View > Piece Barcode File (pbc), this can be used to open another Mail.dat, export the Mail.dat you have open, access the split utility to split your job or exit this view.

View menu: This is not applicable in this view. If opened using View > Piece Barcode File (pbc), this provides full access to the Advanced Navigator View menu.

Related menu: Provides access to other Mail.dat views that are linked to the Piece Detail records.

  • Highlight a piece record and then go to Related > Special Fees File, and you will see any special fee linked to the highlighted piece. Also, you can Insert, Change, and Delete the Special Fees records.

  • Highlight a piece record and then go to Related > Special Fees Barcode File, and you will see any special fee barcode linked to the piece. This file is for a parcel barcode, so there would be no records in our sample job.

  • Highlight a piece record and then go to Related > Referenceable Mail File, and you will see whether there is any campaign being done for Informed Delivery. Also, you can Insert, Change, and Delete the Referenceable Mail records.

Tag Piece Barcode menu: The same functions are available on the icon bar at the top of the screen to mark records.
