Glossary - Pitney Bowes DM300c Operator's Manual

Account—A department (e.g., "Human Resources") to which
postage is charged. Your machine may allow you to set up and
choose a number of different accounts. You can assign a unique
name to each. The machine stores the total postage used and the
number of mail pieces processed for each account.
The accounting feature is optional and the total number of accounts
available on your machine depends on the option purchased.
Advertisement (envelope)—An advertising message that appears
next to the machine's digital indicia. You can choose from an array
of standard and custom ads. See Chapter 13, Supplies/Options for
more information.
Ascending Register ($ Used)—The total amount of postage used
since the machine was placed in service.
Batch Register—A part of the machine's memory that stores the
total postage spent and the number of pieces of mail processed.
Your machine stores this information in memory for each account.
You can clear the contents of the batch register if you want.
Default—A value or setting the machine automatically uses unless
you change it. As delivered, your machine has factory-set defaults or
"normal" settings. You may change these if you wish.
Descending Register ($ Available)—The postage funds available
for use.
Digital Indicia—The imprint produced by the machine (the machine
stamp). The word "indicia" means postal markings.
They may include:
• An Advertisement. This is an optional part of the machine stamp
that lets you convey your own special message to the mail recipient.
• The Date
• The machine's Serial Number
• Postal Code
• Information for Post Office Use
Inspection—The process of examining the postage usage through
the machine to assure accurate postal funds accounting. Your
machine is subject to remote inspection whenever you add postage
to it. If you haven't refilled your machine by modem for 60 days, the
display shows the message "Inspection Due" if you haven't refilled it
for 90 days, you'll see "Inspection Required."
