Correcting A Date On A Mail Piece - Pitney Bowes DM475 Operator's Manual

Correcting a Date on a Mail Piece

This procedure is used if you have applied the wrong date to a
mail piece and need to make a correction. For example, if you
already ran your mail for the day but it was too late for that day's
mail pickup, you can apply the next business day's date on the
mail pieces so they can be processed correctly by the post office.
However, you first need to advance the date on the machine before
correcting the date on the mail piece.
NOTE: You cannot change the printed date to a date earlier than
the meter's internally held date (in an effort to "backdate" the mail).
1. Press Menu.
2. Select "Printing Options".
3. Select "Date Correction Mode":
A. Select "Advance One Day" to advance date by one day.
B. To advance by more than one day select "Specify Days to
Advance" then key in a number (from 1-30) representing
the number of days you want to advance the date by. Press
Enter or choose Accept to complete.
4. Run the mail piece through the system so the that indicia prints
in the upper right hand corner of the back side of the envelope
(opposite of where initial indicia is printed). Alternatively, you
can use a tape sheet to print the correction indicia and place
it to the left of the original indicia (for parcels) or as instructed
above for letters.
5. The display will ask if you want to print more date corrections.
Choose Yes to continue or No to exit.
