Usps Requirements - Pitney Bowes Connect+ Series Operator's Manual

USPS requirements

Since your postage meter (Postal Security Device) is licensed by the United States Postal Service
(USPS), you must follow a few basic requirements.
Mail must have the correct date and postage amount in the postage indicium.
l
Metered mail must bear the ZIP Code location of the post office where the postage meter (Postal
l
Security Device) is registered.
If you move to another ZIP Code location, you must update the ZIP Code. You can do this by
l
calling Postage by Phone® at 1.800.243.7800.
Each time you refill your postage meter (Postal Security Device) through the LAN, the Postage By
l
Phone® Meter Payment System computer automatically performs a postal inspection. If the
postage meter in your mailing machine has not detected a refill transaction at certain intervals, the
message "Inspection Required" appears on the Run Mail screen and then prompts you to connect
to Pitney Bowes and perform an inspection.
The postage tape you use must meet USPS specifications.
