What You Need
to Know Since your postage meter (Postal Security Device) is licensed by the
United States Postal Service (USPS), you must follow a few basic require-
ments.
USPS Requirements
• Mail must have the correct date and postage amount in the meter
stamp.
• Metered mail must bear the ZIP Code location of the post office where
the postage meter (Postal Security Device) is registered.
• If you move to another ZIP Code location, you must update the ZIP
Code. You can do this by calling your local Pitney Bowes district office.
• Each time you refill your postage meter (Postal Security Device)
through the modem, the Postage By Phone® Meter Payment System
computer automatically performs a postal inspection. If the postage
meter in your mailing machine has not detected a modem refill trans-
action at certain intervals, the message “Inspection Required” appears
on the main screen of the IntelliLink® Control Center. (The system will
then prompt you to connect to Pitney Bowes and perform an inspec-
tion.)
• The postage tape you use must meet USPS specifications.
