Postal Rate Update (Mandatory) - Pitney Bowes DM300c series Operator's Manual

5 • Adding Postage/Connecting to Data Centre
To satisfy the inspection requirement, simply:
• Connect to the Data Centre as described in the Checking your
Postage by Phone account balance.
• Add postage (see Add Postage earlier in chapter for procedure).
NOTE: You can't use this option for Inspection Required.
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.

Postal Rate Update (mandatory)

Postal rates change periodically as defined by your Postal Authority.
If new rates are available, you can download them quickly and easily
directly from the Data Centre.
The new rates are normally available for download at least 7 days
before the effective date. If you connect to the Data Centre and
there is time before the effective date, you have a choice whether
to download the new rates or not. Once the effective date has been
reached (or passed), however, you will have to download the new
rates.
The screens on your machine will give you information regarding the
status of the rate update and the choices available to you.
If the rate for a normal letter has changed and is effective
immediately, a screen displays showing the present preset postage
and asks you if you want to reset the normal preset postage. Press
Enter. A screen displays for you to enter the new normal rate (ROI
only).
When a rate change update takes place it may also affect other
presets you have set in your mailing machine. You should check
all your presets to insure that they conform to the new rates. See
Chapter 4, Normal and Custom Presets for instructions on changing
preset values.
The display tells you when a rate change update is complete. It also
tells you if the update is immediate or takes effect at a later date by
listing the new date.
