About Your Mailing Machine
Your mailing system consists of two components that work together -
the Pitney Bowes mailing machine and a Pitney Bowes postage
meter. The mailing machine has a multi-thickness feeder.
Mailing Machine
• Controls the operation of the mailing system.
• Transports envelopes of various thicknesses.
• Gives you options for printing postage only, printing
postage and sealing the envelope, sealing only, or
printing a postage tape.
Postage Meter
• Installed on the mailing machine.
• Provides the postage value selection and imprinting.
Every country has its own regulations regarding the use of postage
meters. To find out about the regulations which apply to your postage
meter, check with the post office in your country.
Most countries operate the “Credit Locking” system whereby postage
credit is entered in the postage meter either at the post office or
remotely over a telephone line (Postage-by-Phone
®
meter resetting
system). These “Credit Locking” meters cease to operate when the
value in the postage unused (descending) register falls below a preset
value, depending on the meter being used.
Although this guide primarily covers the use of the mailing machine,
it also refers to the postage meter. Since several different Pitney
Bowes postage meters work with the mailing machine, the postage
meter you have may be different from the one pictured in this guide.
However, the general purpose and functionality of postage meters are
similar.
For specific information on your postage meter, see the operating
guide provided with the meter or call your local Pitney Bowes office
or dealer.
