Overview of Accounting
An accounting feature on a mailing machine allows you to track
your postage costs by categories. These categories can represent
whatever makes sense to your organization - departments, people,
locations, projects, etc. Tracking your mailing expenses by category
allows you to manage and budget your postal costs in a more effi-
cient manner.
With this model of mailing machine, you have a choice of using one
of the following accounting options:
• Standard Accounting Option - 5 Accounts
This is the base option that allows you to track postage for five
accounts.
• Standard Accounting Option - 10 Accounts
This is a higher option that allows you to track postage for 10 ac-
counts.
Your machine stores the fol low ing in for ma tion for each ac count:
• An account name up to 14 alphanumeric characters long.
• An account number.
• The item total. This is the total number of pieces of mail charged
to an account since it was last cleared.
• The value total. This is the total amount of postage charged to an
account since it was last cleared.
• An account password (optional)
