Postal Requirements - Pitney Bowes K700 Operator's Manual

Postal Requirements

Your mailstation™ meter is issued under the oversight of the United
States Postal Service (USPS) and you must follow some basic
requirements.
• Mail must have the correct date and postage amount in the meter
stamp (indicia).
• Metered mail must bear the ZIP Code location of the post office
where the mailstation™ meter is registered.
• If you move to another ZIP Code location, you must update the ZIP
Code. You can do this by calling Pitney Bowes (see Pitney Bowes
Contact List at start of guide).
• Each time you add postage to the mailstation™ meter, the Pitney
Bowes Data Center automatically performs a postal inspection. If
the interval between inspections is more than 60 days, your
mailstation™ meter's display prompts "Inspection Due." Perform an
inspection as instructed in
the inspection requirement. If the interval between inspections is
more than 90 days, the display prompts "Inspection Required." You
won't be able to use your mailstation™ meter until you add postage
or connect to the Pitney Bowes Data Center for inspection.
• The tape sheets for putting postage on larger items must conform
to postal specifications. For best performance, we recommend Pitney
Bowes tape sheets. See Section 11 - Supplies and Options for order
part numbers.
