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.
Ads
If there are new 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
you tell us that your system is moving to a new location, your record
in the Data Centre will be updated with the new Postal Code/Town
Circle. Your system is updated when a connection is made to the
Data Centre.)
Postal Inspection (mandatory)
In the UK, 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.
In the Republic of Ireland, 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.
