Inspections

The Postal Security Device eliminates the need to perform physical inspections thereby making the system easier and more convenient to use.

The United States Postal Service (USPS) licenses your meter and requires a modem inspection of the meter. Each time you refill your meter or check your Postage By Phone® account balance, the Pitney Bowes Data Center automatically performs a postal inspection.

If the meter in your mailing machine has not detected a modem refill transaction in 90 days, the message “Inspection Due” displays on the IntelliLink Control Center main screen. However, you can still use your meter.

If the meter has not detected a refill in 120 days, the message “Inspection Required” displays and you cannot use your meter.

In either case you must perform a refill. If you don’t need to add funds at this time, check your Postage By Phone account balance (see Checking Your Postage By Phone® Account Balance in this chapter). This satisfies the inspection requirements.

If you have questions, call Postage By Phone (1.800.243.7800).
