5 • Adding Postage/Connecting to Data Centre
Postal Rate Update (mandatory)
Postal rates change periodically as defined by Royal Mail. If new rates
are available, you can download them quickly and easily directly from
the Data Centre.
The new rates are normally available for download at least 7 days
before the effective date. If you connect to the Data Centre and
there is time before the effective date, you have a choice whether
to download the new rates or not. Once the effective date has been
reached (or passed), however, you will have to download the new
rates.
The screens on your machine will give you information regarding the
status of the rate update and the choices available to you.
If the rate for a normal letter has changed and is effective
immediately, a screen displays showing the present preset postage
and asks you if you want to reset the normal preset postage. Press
Enter/yes. A screen displays for you to enter the new normal rate.
When a rate change update takes place it may also affect your preset
if you have set it for a different class of mail. You should check your
preset to ensure that it conforms to the new rates. See Chapter 6,
Machine Settings for instructions on changing preset values.
The display tells you when a rate change update is complete. It also
tells you if the update is immediate or takes effect at a later date by
listing the new date.
