Important Safety Notes
Use the power cord supplied with the machine and plug it into a
properly grounded wall outlet that's located near the machine and
easily accessible. Failure to properly ground the machine can re-
sult in severe personal injury and/or fire.
The power cord wall plug is the primary means of disconnecting
the machine from the AC supply. The unit is on whenever it is
plugged into a live receptacle, even though the operator display
may be blank.
Place the mailing machine base close to an easily accessible
wall outlet. DO NOT use a wall outlet controlled by a wall switch
or one that is shared with other equipment.
Do not use an adapter plug on the line cord or wall outlet.
Do not remove the ground pin from the line cord.
Make sure the area in front of the wall outlet into which the ma-
chine is plugged is free from obstruction.
DO NOT route the power cord over sharp edges or trap it be-
tween pieces of furniture. Make sure there is no strain on the
power cord.
To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, DO NOT attempt to
remove covers or disassemble the control panel or its base. The
cabinet encloses hazardous parts. If you should drop or otherwise
damage the unit, call Pitney Bowes.
Use only Pitney Bowes approved ink, tape strips, and clean-
ers. To obtain Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for OSHA
requirements, please go to www.pb.com/msds. When prompted,
enter the product name, manufacturer, the Pitney Bowes MSDS
Number, or reorder number of the item you are interested in.
Keep fingers, long hair, jewelry and loose clothing away from
moving parts at all times.
Avoid touching moving parts or materials while the machine is in
use. Before clearing a stall (jam), be sure machine mechanisms
come to a complete stop.
To prevent overheating, do not cover the machine.
When removing stalled material, avoid using too much force to pro-
tect against minor personal injury and damage to the equipment.
Use the equipment only for its intended purpose.
Always follow the specific occupational safety and health
standards prescribed for your workplace.
