System Update; Graphic Ad/Postal Inscriptions; Software Update (Mandatory); Postal Code Update (Mandatory) - Pitney Bowes DM150 Manual

5 • Adding Postage/Connecting to Data Centre

System Update

If there has been a feature enhancement or other non-essential
update to the software that runs your machine, you will be notified
that a system update is available.

Graphic Ads/Postal Inscriptions

If there are new postal inscriptions or ads that you ordered available,
you will be notified that you can perform a download to obtain
these.

Software Update (mandatory)

If there has been an important update to the software that runs
your machine, you will be notified that a required update is
necessary.

Postal Code Update (mandatory)

If the Postal Code/Town Circle on record at the Data Centre does
not match the Postal Code/Town Circle of your mailing system, the
correct information will be downloaded into your machine. (When a
machine is moved to a new location, the Data Centre enters the new
Postal Code/Town Circle into the record. Your system is updated
when a connection is made to the Data Centre.)

Postal Inspection (mandatory)

An audit is made of your meter. This uploads information to the
Postal Authority. The Data Capture audit takes place every 30 days.
However, there is a grace period of 5 days to allow you to connect
to the Data Centre.
Each time you add postage to the machine, the Data Centre
automatically performs a postal inspection as required by the Postal
Authority. If the interval between inspections is more than 60 days,
your machine's display prompts "Inspection Due." If the interval
between inspections is more than 90 days, the display prompts
"Inspection Required." You won't be able to use your mailing system
until your system is inspected.
To satisfy the inspection requirement, simply:
• Add postage (see Adding Postage earlier in chapter for
procedure).
• Connect to the Data Centre as described in the Connecting to the
Data Centre (other than for postage) later in this chapter.
When an inspection is performed, an "Inspection Complete" screen
displays upon completion. The display also notifies you of the date
the next inspection is due.
