USPS requirements
Since your postage device (Postal Security Device) is licensed by the USPS, you must follow a few
basic requirements.
Mail must have the correct date and postage amount in the postage .
l
Metered mail must bear the ZIP Code™ location of the post office where the device is
l
registered.
If you move to another ZIP Code™ location, you must update the ZIP Code. You can do this by
l
calling PB Postage at 1-800-243-7800.
The USPS requires a postal inspection of your device every 120 days. Each time you refill your
l
device through the network, the PB Postage device Payment System computer automatically
performs a postal inspection.
The postage tape you use must meet USPS specifications.
l
Key in Postage
The USPS requires your postage to be calculated using a scale. This ensures that your mail always
has the correct postage, and that you are not overpaying, or having mail returned for insufficient
postage. Key in Postage is not available on any of the SendPro C devices.
