WEIGH-ON-THE-WAY® (W-O-W®)/Shape Based Rating
The Weigh-On-The-Way® (WOW®)/Shaped Based Rating module processes mixed mail (mail of
varying sizes and weights) and determines the postage amount based on the weight and dimensions
of each envelope.

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
l
(Postal 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 PB Postage at 1.800.243.7800.
Each time you refill your postage meter (Postal Security Device) through the LAN, the PB
l
Postage Meter Payment System computer automatically performs a postal inspection. If the
meter 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.
l

Postal Security Device

The postage meter on your mailing system is a Postal Security Device (PSD) that incorporates the
latest technology approved by USPS to secure funds. This technology eliminates the need to perform
physical inspections thereby making the system easier and more convenient to use.
