Appendix B • Glossary
Account—set up when using the Departmental Accounting option.
An account can be an organization, person, or department (e.g.,
"Sales") to which postage is charged. You can assign a unique name
to each. The machine stores the total postage used and the num ber
of mail piec es pro cessed for each account. The total number of ac-
counts available on your machine depends on the option purchased.
Envelope—An advertising message that appears
Advertisement,
next to the machine's meter stamp. You can choose from an ar ray of
stan dard and custom ads.
Line–a "standard" phone line supplied by the phone com-
Analog
pany. You use an analog phone line when you connect to the Pitney
Bowes Data Center using your machine's modem. Analog phone
lines are usually Fax lines, residential phone lines, and lines used by
modems or credit card readers. See also Digital Line
Default—A value or setting the machine au to mat i cal ly uses unless
you change it. As delivered, your machine has fac to ry-set defaults or
"normal" settings. You may change these if you wish.
Line–a type of line used on digital phone systems (so called
Digital
PBX systems). Many PBX manufacturers have designed phone
systems that deliver much more current to the phone than does a
"standard" analog phone line supplied by the phone company. As a
result, if you connect your machine's modem to a PBX digital line,
thinking that it's an analog line, you could damage your modem with
too much current and not even know it.
Screen—The machine display that shows your cur rent selec-
Home
tions. It indicates that you're ready to print post age.
Inspection—The process of examining the postage usage through
the machine to assure accurate postal funds ac count ing. Your ma-
chine is sub ject to remote in spec tion when ev er you add postage to
it. If you haven't re filled your machine for 90 days, the dis play shows
the mes sage "Inspection Due". If you haven't re filled it for 120 days,
you'll see "Inspection Re quired."
To do an inspection, simply add postage or connect to the Data Center.
