Printing A Meter Stamp With An Advanced Date; Turning The Date On/Off For A Meter Stamp - Pitney Bowes mailstation Operator's Manual

Printing a Meter Stamp with an Advanced Date
You may want to advance the date printed on the meter stamp if it is after normal business hours and
you want to prepare outgoing mail for a future business day's mailing.
NOTE: The machine automatically advances the printed date on the meter stamp (as well as its internally held
date) when the system time reaches 12:00 AM.
Advanced Date Features
You can advance the date up to 30 days from the current date.
l
Changing the printed date does not change the machine's internally held date.
l
You can always return the printed date to the current date.
l
You cannot change the printed date to a date earlier than the machine's internally held date (in
l
an effort to "backdate" the mail).
Accounting data is posted on the actual date the mail piece is run (per the internal
l
clock/calendar in the mailing system), not by the date printed on the meter stamp.
How to Advance the Date Manually
1. Press Menu.
2. Use the Review keys to scroll to "Change date and time settings?" and press Enter/yes.
3. Use the Review keys to scroll to "Change printed date?" and press Enter/yes.
4. Use review keys to select a date. A message confirms your choice and the main screen
displays.
5. To reset the date on your mail back to the current date, repeat steps 1-4 and select today's date.
Turning the Date On/Off for a Meter Stamp
Most mailings print the date as part of the meter stamp but for certain classes of mail, you may want to
turn off the date. Call your local post office or visit www.usps.com for further information.
