1 • Introduction
Postal Requirements
The meter on your mailing machine is licensed by your Postal
Authority and you must follow some basic requirements.
• Mail must have the correct date and postage amount in the
meter stamp.
• Always ensure that your meter stamp prints are clear and
complete. Poor prints may result in your Postal Authority being
unable to offer the service you requested and if the prints are
illegible the items may be rejected by your Postal Authority. If in
doubt regarding the quality of your meter prints, refer to page 7-4
for further information.
• If you move to another address, you must update the Postal
Authority records. Call your local machine supplier for advice.
• The tape sheets for putting postage on larger items must
conform to postal specifications. For best performance, obtain tape
sheets direct from your machine supplier.
• Postal Inspection (mandatory) - UK Only
An Audit is made of your meter automatically when you connect
to the Data Centre, this uploads information to the Postal
Authority.The Data Capture Audit takes place every 30 days.
However, there is a grace period of 5 days to allow you to
connect to the Data Centre.
• Postal Inspection (mandatory) - REPUBLIC OF IRELAND Only
Each time you add postage to the machine, the Data Centre
automatically performs a postal inspection as required by the
Postal Authority. If the interval between inspections is too long,
your machine's display prompt "Inspection Due". Eventually, if an
inspection is still not carried out, the display prompts "Inspection
Required". You won't be able to use your mailing system until
your system is inspected.

Safety
Follow the normal safety precautions for all office equipment:
• Use only Pitney Bowes approved supplies, in particular aerosol
dusters. Improper storage and use of aerosol dusters or
flammable aerosol dusters can cause an explosive-like condition
that could result in personal injury and/or property damage.
Never use aerosol dusters labeled flammable and always read
instructions and safety precautions on the duster label.
• To obtain supplies, please contact our Supply Line™ to place
orders. Material Safety Data Sheets can be obtained on the web
or from our Supply Line™. Refer to the Contact Information List
for more information.
• Use the power cord supplied with the machine and plug it into
a properly grounded wall outlet located near the machine and
easily accessible. Failure to properly ground the machine can
result in severe personal injury and/or fire.
• Avoid touching moving parts or materials while the machine is
in use. Keep hands, loose clothing, jewellery and long hair away
from all moving parts.
• Do not remove covers or defeat safety interlock switches. Covers
enclose hazardous parts that should only be accessed by
properly trained service personnel. Immediately report to service
any damaged or non-functioning components that renders the
unit unsafe.
• Place the unit in an accessible location to allow for proper
venting of the equipment and to facilitate servicing.
• The power cord wall plug is the primary means of disconnecting
the machine from the AC supply.
• Do not use an adapter plug on the line cord or wall outlet.
• Do not remove the ground pin from the line cord.
• Avoid using wall outlets that are controlled by wall switches, or
shared with other equipment.
• Do not route the power cord over sharp edges or trap between
furniture.
• Ensure there is no strain on the power cord and that it does not
become jammed between the equipment, walls or furniture.
