About this Chapter

This chapter explains how to perform the functions you'll use most often. It
assumes you've installed the equipment correctly and set it up the way you want.
If you haven't yet set up your system, or you'd like to change one or more setup
options, follow the instructions in Chapter 3.

Operating Checklist

Before operating the system, check the following:
• Make sure the Postage Meter is correctly fitted to the Mailing Machine (see
page 4-6).
• Make sure the system is plugged into a suitable mains wall socket and the
socket is turned ON. Follow the safety precautions in Chapter 1.
• Check the level of sealing solution in the moistener (DM300 system only).
See Chapter 5.
• If you plan on printing tape strips (DM300 system only), make sure you've
loaded an adequate supply. See Chapter 5.
• Check that you have enough postage to handle your job (press Funds to
view the postage available). If you don't, refill the meter (Chapter 4).

Unlocking and Locking the Meter

Your Postage Meter may require you to enter a four-digit code (password) to
unlock it, depending on how it's set up. If a code is needed, key it in and press
Enter. When you've finished using the meter, press the Lock Meter button to
prevent unauthorised use.
If your meter is set up with accounting passwords, it prompts you for a password
each time you select an account.

Error Messages

Your meter may occasionally display a message telling you that something needs
attention or that an error condition occurred. These messages usually tell you
how to fix whatever's wrong. See Chapter 6 for a complete listing of error
messages.
