1 • Introduction

Postal Requirements

The meter on your mailing machine is licensed by your Postal

Authority and you must follow some basic requirements.

• Mail must have the correct date and postage amount in the

meter stamp.

• Always ensure that your meter stamp prints are clear and

complete. Poor prints may result in your Postal Authority being

unable to offer the service you requested and if the prints are

illegible the items may be rejected by your Postal Authority. If in

doubt regarding the quality of your meter prints, refer to page 7-4

for further information.

• If you move to another address, you must update the Postal

Authority records. Call your local machine supplier for advice.

• The tape sheets for putting postage on larger items must

conform to postal specifications. For best performance, obtain tape

sheets direct from your machine supplier.

• Postal Inspection (mandatory) - UK Only

An Audit is made of your meter automatically when you connect

to the Data Centre, 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.

• Postal Inspection (mandatory) - REPUBLIC OF IRELAND Only

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 too long,

your machine's display prompt "Inspection Due". Eventually, if an

inspection is still not carried out, the display prompts "Inspection

Required". You won't be able to use your mailing system until

your system is inspected.

Safety

Follow the normal safety precautions for all office equipment:

• Use only Pitney Bowes approved supplies, in particular aerosol

dusters. Improper storage and use of aerosol dusters or

flammable aerosol dusters can cause an explosive-like condition

that could result in personal injury and/or property damage.

Never use aerosol dusters labeled flammable and always read

instructions and safety precautions on the duster label.

• To obtain supplies, please contact our Supply Line™ to place

orders. Material Safety Data Sheets can be obtained on the web

or from our Supply Line™. Refer to the Contact Information List

for more information.

• Use the power cord supplied with the machine and plug it into

a properly grounded wall outlet located near the machine and

easily accessible. Failure to properly ground the machine can

result in severe personal injury and/or fire.

• Avoid touching moving parts or materials while the machine is

in use. Keep hands, loose clothing, jewellery and long hair away

from all moving parts.

• Do not remove covers or defeat safety interlock switches. Covers

enclose hazardous parts that should only be accessed by

properly trained service personnel. Immediately report to service

any damaged or non-functioning components that renders the

unit unsafe.

• Place the unit in an accessible location to allow for proper

venting of the equipment and to facilitate servicing.

• The power cord wall plug is the primary means of disconnecting

the machine from the AC supply.

• Do not use an adapter plug on the line cord or wall outlet.

• Do not remove the ground pin from the line cord.

• Avoid using wall outlets that are controlled by wall switches, or

shared with other equipment.

• Do not route the power cord over sharp edges or trap between

furniture.

• Ensure there is no strain on the power cord and that it does not

become jammed between the equipment, walls or furniture.
