What are tracking services?

The United States Post Office (USPS) provides three types of tracking services:
Delivery Confirmation shows you when the postal carrier delivered the mail.
l
Signature Confirmation shows you who signed for the mail.
l
Certified Mail provides you with proof that you mailed the item.
l
Each of these services has its own tracking number labels. Using preprinted tracking number labels
provided by Pitney Bowes, you can electronically process and submit records for the three types of
USPS Confirmation Services to the Pitney Bowes Data Center.
Postage calculation for confirmation services
Your system automatically calculates the postage amount based on the class and tracking service.
You cannot change this postage value.
Discounts for confirmation services
In many cases when you use any of these services with your mailing system and uploads the records
you get a discount on the cost of the service. In some cases, like adding Electronic Delivery
Confirmation to a Priority letter, you only pay the postage required for Priority mail.
Sending your records to Pitney Bowes
Whenever you complete a job using a tracking service, the system prompts you to upload the records.
In order to automatically upload your records, your system must have a full-time LAN connection.

have selected a faster speed that the printer can accommodate, choosing the Best
option here will override that setting. Refer to Changing the Machine Speed for more
