Determining the Amount of Postage to Use

The amount of postage on a mail piece is based on CPC regulations and involves factors such as:

•class of mail

•weight

•how fast you want the mail piece delivered

•optional add-on CPC Services (such as A.R. Card, Coverage, and Registration)

The internal rating feature for Lettermail rates calculates the postage amount automatically based on the weight of the mail piece and the class of mail you select.

Applying Postage

There are several ways you can apply postage using your postage meter. Each method is described in its own section that follows.

NOTE 1: For applying postage, the postage meter does not have to be connected to a phone line. However, when you need to add funds to your postage meter, you must be connected to an analog phone line (see Section 5 - Adding Postage/Connecting to Data Centre for more information).

NOTE 2: The meter automatically advances the date at 12:00 AM.
