1 • Introduction
Postal Requirements
The meter on your mailing system is licensed by Royal Mail and you
must follow some basic requirements.
• Mail must have the correct date and postage amount in the
meter stamp.
• If you move to another address, you must update Royal Mail
records. Call your local machine supplier for advice.
• Your DM220i series is a Mailmark™ compliant system. At
regular intervals defined by Royal Mail, it connects to the Pitney
Bowes Data Centre to provide usage data to Royal Mail. The
connection will normally happen in the background without you
needing to do anything. If the connection was not made for any
reason, the display will show ‘Data Upload Due’ and you should
select Connect Now. If, for any reason, a connection has not
been made within the ‘grace’ period allowed by Royal Mail, the
display will show 'Data Upload Required' and you MUST make
a connection before your franking machine will allow you to
continue processing mail.
• The tapes for putting postage on larger items must conform to
postal specifications. For best performance, obtain tapes direct
from your machine supplier.
