Postal Requirements - Pitney Bowes DM475 Operator's Manual

1 • Introduction

Postal Requirements

The meter on your mailing machine is licensed by Canada Post and
you must follow some basic requirements.
• The digital indicia must show the correct date and postage amount.
• The digital indicia must bear the postal code of the location
where your system is registered (i.e., your business address).
• If you move to another postal code location, you must update the
postal code. Contact Pitney Bowes (see page v) when you need
to do this.
• Each time you add postage to the machine, the Pitney Bowes Data
Centre automatically performs a postal inspection.
i
NOTE: If the interval between inspections is more than 60
days, your machine's display prompts "Inspection Due." If
the interval between inspections is more than 90 days, the
display prompts "Inspection Required." At this point, you
won't be able to use your mailing system until your system
is inspected. In either case, to satisfy the postal inspection
requirement, simply:
• Follow the prompts on the "Inspection Due" screen or
• Press Refill Postage and select "Check PBP Account
Balance" (which will not decrease or change the funds in
your account).
• The tape sheets for putting postage on larger items must conform
to postal specifications. To order tapes that meet Canada Post
requirements, see Chapter 10, Supplies and Options.
