HINT: If postage funds are low, it's a good idea to refi ll your me- ter. See Chapter 5 for instructions.

Before You Apply Power

•If your're using an optional advertising slogan cartridge, make sure it's in place (Chapter 8).

•Check that the stacker is in position (see instructions be- low).

•Make sure the ribbon cassette is properly loaded (Chap- ter 6).

•If you’re using a Pitney Bowes electronic scale with your meter, make sure it’s connected properly. Follow the in- structions supplied with the scale. (B700 only)

•Add E-Z Seal® to the optional moistener if necessary. Follow the instructions supplied with your moistener. (B700 only)

The instructions that follow assume the meter is set up the way you want. If not, go to Chapter 4 for step-by-step setup instructions.

Applying Power

Insert the key and turn it clockwise. After you turn it on, the meter performs a self test for several seconds and oper- ates the envelope transport mechanism.

If the self test is OK, the meter shows the default postage value in the operator display as shown at the right (your de- fault value may be different).

Warning Prompts

If postage funds are low, the operator display flashes “Low Funds” or “Insuf Funds” alternately with the postage value selected. If any other message appears on the display, see pages 7-2 and 7-3 of this guide for an explanation.
