Downloads from the Data Centre to Your DM50 Series

When you connect to the Data Centre (using an analogue phone
line) to add postage or perform other transactions, the Data Centre
may perform the following:
• Download required software updates to your machine.
• Download advertisements you ordered.
• Perform a remote inspection of your machine as required by the
Postal Authority.
• Download new postal rates.
Generally speaking, downloads are considered either mandatory
(you must do them at the time you are prompted to on the screen),
or non-mandatory (you may decide to download at a later time).
However, even non-mandatory downloads can become mandatory if
you wait too long to do the download.
Once a download is finished, you will either be prompted to select
"Restart Now" to restart the machine or select "Continue" to return
you to the screen that you started from, depending on the type of
download performed.
A description of the type of downloads that can occur in your
machine are presented on the following pages.
