Energy Star®
Rating
As an ENERGY STAR Partner, Pitney Bowes has deter-
mined that the DM Series™ mailing systems meet ENERGY
ST
AR guidelines for energy efficiency. They automatically
enter a low power state called the "sleep mode" if not used
for a preset interval of time. This keeps energy consumption
low, while maintaining the high state of readiness you expect
from Pitney Bowes mailing equipment.
ENERGY STAR qualified office and ima
ging products use as much as 60%
less electricity than standard equipment. And using less energy keeps util-
ity costs down. Over the next five years, these products will save Ameri-
cans more than 5 billion dollars.
The ENERGY STAR program is another example of how Pitney Bowes is
go
od for the environment and smart for business.
Postage Meter The postage meter on your mailing system is a Postal Security Device
(PSD) that incorporates the latest technology approved by the United
States Postal Service to secure funds. This technology eliminates the need
to perform physical inspections thereby making the system easier and
more convenient to use. The PSD contains the funds and performs all of
the calculations necessary to print meter stamps that comply with the latest
USPS standards.
