Refilling your meter

To ensure that your operations are not interrupted, the time periods for the Data Center Connection
are pre-established in your system, and will give adequate warning to you when this connection may
be required:
The message "Postal inspection required" will first be shown approximately 21 days after your
l
last connection. You can connect immediately to have the meter inspected or clear the message
temporarily. If you clear the message, you enter a grace period that lasts approximately 7 days.
The "Postal inspection required" message will appear each day for 7 days (when you power-up
l
your system), and will only disappear after a successful connection.
On the 28th day after your last successful connection, your mailing system will display a
l
message indicating that you will not be able to print postage until the inspection is completed.
Follow the prompts on your mailing system to make a successful connection.
