Postal Security Device

The postage meter on your mailing system is a Postal Security Device (PSD) that incor-
porates the latest technology approved by the Canada Post to secure funds. This technology
eliminates the need to perform physical inspections thereby making the system easier and
more convenient to use.
WEIGH-ON-THE-WAY® (W-O-W®)
The WEIGH-ON-THE-WAY® (W-O-W®) module processes mixed mail (mail of varying sizes
and weights) and determines the postage amount based on the weight and dimensions of
each mail piece.

Canada Post Requirements

Since your postage meter (Postal Security Device) is licensed by Canada Post, you must fol-
low a few basic requirements.
Mail must have the correct date and postage amount in the postage indicium.
l
Metered mail must bear the Postal Code location of the post office where the postage
l
meter (Postal Security Device) is registered.
If you move to another Postal Code location, you must update the Postal Code. You can
l
do this by calling Postage by Phone® at 1-800-672-6937.
Each time you refill your postage meter (Postal Security Device) through the LAN, the
l
Postage By Phone® Meter Payment System computer automatically performs a postal
inspection. If the postage meter in your mailing machine has not detected a refill trans-
action at certain intervals, the message "Inspection Required" appears on the Run Mail
screen and then prompts you to connect to Pitney Bowes and perform an inspection.
The postage tape you use must meet Canada Post specifications.
