Overview 4.1
The Postage Meter
The Postage Meter, located in your Mailing System Base, handles the Postage Funds (or
money) in your system.
The Postage Meter performs all of the postal operations required by Canada Post. To
perform these operations, regular connections of your system to Neopost's Postage Servers
is required.
Check to ensure that your Mailing System is connected to a LAN
network (See
Connections on page 17 ) and that the connection
is properly configured (see Connection Settings on page 138 ).
Managing your Postage Funds
When logging in as a User, you can carry out the following postage funds operations:
• Check the available postage funds in your Postage Meter
• Add more postage funds to your Postage Meter.
All funding operations trigger a connection of your Mailing System to our Postage Servers
via your internet (LAN) connection.
To trigger manual calls when the Mailing System connection type
is set to PC-Meter Link , see
PC Meter Link Application on page
101
Tracking your Postage Funds
You can generate reports on the use of your Postage Funds as all mailing operations
involving your Postage Meter are recorded by your Mailing System.
To generate reports, see Reports on page 75 .
When the connection type is set to PC-Meter Link , the functions
mentioned above are no longer available from your Mailing System
screen.
