storing the Advance Date in custom preset
s works.
Example 1 - If today is W
ednesday and you set the advance date for 2
days* and store this advance in a custom preset, then:
if you recall the preset on the same day (Wednesday) it will print Fri-
day's date on your postage.
if you recall the preset on the next day (Thursday) it will print Saturday's
dat
e on your po
stage.
Example 2 - If you
have previously set up your system so that it automati-
cally advances the date at 3 PM*, and you cre
ated a custom preset with the
Advance Date set to zero (that is, you did not advance the date), then:
if you recall the preset before 3 PM it will print today's date on your
post
age.
if you recall the preset after 3 PM it will print tomorrow's date on your
postage.
Exam
ple 3 - If you
have previously set up your system so that it automati-
cally advances the date at 3 PM, and you create a cu
stom preset that
advances the date by 2 days, then:
if you recall the preset before 3 PM, the system will set the date two
days a
head.
if you recall the preset after 3 PM, the system will still set th
e date two
days ahead.
NOTE: If you create a custom preset with the Advance Date feature turned
off and you recall this preset, the current date setting is not affected.
