Digital Indicia—The imprint produced by the postage meter (the meter stamp). The word “indicia” means postal markings. They may include:
•An Advertisement. This is an optional part of the postage meter stamp that lets you convey your own special message to the mail recipient.
•The Date
•The postage meter’s Serial Number
•Postal Code
•Information for Post Office Use

Your postage meter is subject to remote inspection whenever you add postage to it. If you haven't refilled your postage meter by modem for 60 days, the display shows the message “Inspection Due”; if you haven't refilled it for 90 days, you'll see “Inspection Required.”
To do an inspection, simply add postage or connect to the Data Cen- tre as explained in Section 5 - Adding Postage/Connecting to Data Centre.
