Inspection —The process of examining the postage usage through
the mailstation™ meter to assure accurate postal funds accounting.
Your mailstation™ meter is subject to remote inspection whenever
you add postage to it. If you haven't refilled your mailstation™ meter
by modem for 60 days, the display shows the message “Inspection
Due”; if you haven't refilled it for 90 days, you'll see “Inspection Re-
quired.”
To do an inspection, simply add postage or connect to the Data Cen-
ter as explained in Section 5 - Adding Postage/Connecting to Data
Cent er.
