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 requirements.
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 post
age meter (Postal Security Device) is registered.
If you move to another ZIP Code location, you must update the ZIP
Code. Y
ou can do this by calling Postage by Phone®.
Each time you refill your postage meter (Postal Security Device) through
the mod
em or LAN, 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 modemor LAN refill
transaction at certain intervals, the message “Inspection Required”
appears on the main screen of the IntelliLink® Control Center. (The sys-
tem will then prompt you to connect to Pitney Bowe
s and perform an
inspection.)
The postage tape you use must meet USPS specificat
ions.
Safety
Requirements
Read all instructions before you attempt to operate the machine. Use
the equipment only for its intended purpose.
Use only Pitney Bowes approved supplies,
in p
articular aerosol dusters.
Improper storage and use of aerosol dusters or flammable aerosol dust-
ers, can cause an explosive-
like condition that could result in a personal
injury and/or property damage. Never use aerosol dusters labeled flam-
mable and always read instructions and safety precautio
ns on the
duster container label.
Use the power cord supplied with the machine and plug it into a properly
grounded
wall outlet located near the machine and easily accessible.
Failure to properly ground the machine can result in severe personal
injury and/or fire.
The power cord wall plug is the pr
imary means of disconnecting the
machine from the AC supply.
Do not remove the power cord's ground pin and do not use a ground
adapter
.
Make sure the area in front of the power outlet is free of obstruction.
DO NOT route the power cord over sharp edges or trap it between
pieces of furnitu
re. Make sure there is no strain on it.
To reduce the risk of fire or electrical sho
ck, DO NOT attempt to remove
covers or disassemble the equipment. The housing encloses hazardous
parts. If any components are dropped or otherwise damaged, report
such damage to your Pitney Bowes customer service representative.
Keep fingers, long hair, jewelry, neck ties
, and loose clothing away from
moving parts at all times.
When removing jammed material, avoid using too much force to prevent
persona
l injury and damaging equipment.
To prevent overheating do not cover system vent openings.
WARNING! Follow normal safety precautions for all office equip-
ment whenever using your mailing system.
