Account—set up when using the Accounting option. An account
can be an organization, person, department, etc. to which postage is
charged. The machine stores the total postage used and the number
of mail pieces processed for each account. The total number of
accounts available on your machine depends on the option purchased.
Advertisement—An advertising message that appears next to the
machine's meter stamp. You can choose from an array of standard
and custom ads.
Constant Connection–a feature that allows you to connect your
machine to a LAN network having Internet access so your meter can
communicate to the Pitney Bowes Data Center.
Default—A value or setting the machine automatically uses unless
you change it. As delivered, your machine has factory-set defaults or
"normal" settings. You may change these if you wish.
Home Screen—The machine display that shows your current
selections. It normally indicates that you're ready to print postage.
Inspection (Postal)—The CPC requires a postal inspection of your
machine every 90 days to ensure accurate postal funds accounting.
This postal inspection requirement can be automatically met by
merely connecting your machine to the Pitney Bowes Data Center
for any reason (e.g., to check your Postage By Phone account, add
®
postage to your meter, etc.).
IntelliLink —A Pitney Bowes technology that allows you to
®
download machine features, postal rates, and system software
updates via a digital link to the Pitney Bowes Data Center.

allows computers and printers to communicate with each other, and
to the Internet (if configured).
