Account—set up when using the Accounting option. An account
can be an organization, person, department, etc. to which postage is
charged. The machine stores the total postage used and the num ber
of mail piec es pro cessed for each account. The total number of ac-
counts available on your machine depends on the option purchased.
Advertisement, Envelope—An advertising message that appears
next to the machine's meter stamp.
You can choose from an ar ray of
stan dard and custom ads.
Analog Line–a "standard" phone line supplied by the phone com-
pany. You use an analog phone line when you connect to the Pitney
Bowes Data Center using your machine's modem phone jack. Analog
phone lines are usually Fax lines, residential phone lines, and lines
used by modems or credit card readers. Compare to Digital Line.
Default—A value or setting the machine au to mat i cal ly uses unless
you change it. As delivered, your machine has fac to ry-set defaults or
“normal” settings. You may change these if you wish.
Digital Line–a type of line used on digital phone systems (so called
PBX systems). Many PBX manufacturers have designed phone sys-
tems that deliver much more current to the phone than does a "stan-
dard" analog phone line supplied by the phone company. As a result,
if you connect your machine's modem phone jack to a PBX digital
line, thinking that it’s an analog line, you could damage your modem
with too much current and not even know it.
Home Screen—The machine display that shows your cur rent selec-
tions. It indicates that you're ready to print post age.
Inspection (Postal)—The USPS
®
requires a postal inspection of
your machine every 120 days to ensure accurate postal funds ac-
count ing. This postal inspection requirement can be automatically
met by merely connecting your machine to the Pitney Bowes Data
Center for any reason (e.g., to check your Postage By Phone

ac-
count, add postage to your machine, etc.).

load machine features, postal rates, and sys tem updates via a digital
