Postage and Your Machine
Postage is stored internally in your meter. When you need to add
more, you simply establish communications between your meter and
the Pitney Bowes Data Centre, and specify the amount of postage
you wish to download. The postage is electronically transferred
to your meter from your Pitney Bowes Postage By Phone
®
meter
payment account.
You must establish a Pitney Bowes Postage By Phone
®
meter
payment account and have funds available in it before you can
download the funds (for postage) to your meter. There are several
ways you can arrange to have funds put in your Postage By Phone
®
meter payment account (send in a cheque, direct withdrawal,
establish credit, etc.). See the
Pitney Bowes Contact List
on page
v
to call for further information.
Establishing Communications Between Your Machine
and the Pitney Bowes Data Centre
You can establish communications between your meter and the
Pitney Bowes Data Centre by connecting your machine to a LAN
network that has Internet access. This is known as "Constant
Connection" (see page 6-6).
IMPORTANT:
For printing postage, the meter does not have to be connected
to the Pitney Bowes Data Centre. However, we recommended
you keep your meter in a "ready-to-connect" state to the Pitney
Bowes Data Centre on a permanent basis (using any of the above
connection methods).
