Postal Rate Update
Postal rates change periodically by the USPS
®
. If new rates are avail-
able, you can download them quickly and easily directly from the Pitney
Bowes Data Center. The new rates are normally available for download
at least seven days before the effective date.
The display tells you when a Rate Change up date is com plete. It
also tells you if the up date is im me di ate or takes effect at a later date
by listing the new date. Once the effective date has been reached, the
system automatically switches to the new rates.

effect in the future, you will not be printing postage at the new
rates until the effective date is reached.
