Printing a $0.00 Meter Stamp

Periodically, you may want to conduct a test print to determine if your
print mechanism is operating correctly. One way to do this is to print
a $0.00 indicia so as not to waste postage. At the Home screen, sim-
ply press Zero, then press Yes/Enter, and slide an envelope (or tape
sheet) through the machine.
The other way is to run the test print option from the menu (see
Chapter 10, Maintenance, "Test Print" section).

Auto-Advance of Printed Date for the Meter Stamp

The system is set from the factory to automatically advance the print-
ed date on the meter stamp (as well as its internally held date) when
the system time reaches 12:00 AM. However, you may change the
time of day when the auto-advance of the date occurs (see Chapter
7, System Options for more information).

Manually Changing Printed Date for the Meter Stamp

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.
IMPORTANT:
• You can advance the date up to 30 days from the current date.
• Changing the printed date does not change the machine's in-
ternally held date.
• You can always return the printed date to the current date.
• You cannot change the printed date to a date earlier than the
machine's internally held date (in an effort to "backdate" the mail).
• Accounting data is posted on the actual date the mail piece is
run (per the internal clock/calendar in the mailing system), not
by the date printed on the meter stamp.
