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.
