Postal Rate Update
Postal rates change periodically by the CPC If new rates are available,
you can download them quickly and easily directly from the Pitney
Bowes Data Centre. The new rates are normally available for download
at least seven days before the effective date.
The display tells you when a Rate Change update is complete. It
also tells you if the update is immediate or takes effect at a later date
by listing the new date. Once the effective date has been reached, the
system automatically switches to the new rates.
i
NOTE
:
If you decide to take the update and the rates go into
effect in the future, you will not be printing postage at the new
rates until the effective date is reached.
If the rate for a Domestic Standard class letter has changed and is
effective immediately, a screen displays showing the present preset
postage and asks you if you want to reset the normal preset postage.
Press
Enter.
A screen displays for you to enter the new rate.

NOTE
:
When a Rate Change update takes place it may also
affect other presets you have set in your mailing machine. You
must check all your presets to insure that they conform to the
new rates. See

instructions on changing preset values.
