USPS Requirements

Safety Requirements

Since your postage meter (Postal Security Device) is licensed by the United States Postal Service (USPS), you must follow a few basic requirements.

Mail must have the correct date and postage amount in the meter stamp.

Metered mail must bear the ZIP Code location of the post office where the postage meter (Postal Security Device) is registered.

If you move to another ZIP Code location, you must update the ZIP Code. You can do this by calling Postage by Phone®.

Each time you refill your postage meter (Postal Security Device) through the modem or LAN, the Postage By Phone® Meter Payment System computer automatically performs a postal inspection. If the postage meter in your mailing machine has not detected a modemor LAN refill transaction at certain intervals, the message “Inspection Required” appears on the main screen of the IntelliLink® Control Cen- ter. (The system will then prompt you to connect to Pitney Bowes and perform an inspection.)

The postage tape you use must meet USPS specifications.

WARNING! Follow normal safety precautions for all office equip- ment whenever using your mailing system.

Read all instructions before you attempt to operate the machine. Use the equipment only for its intended purpose.

Use only Pitney Bowes approved supplies, in particular aerosol dusters. Improper storage and use of aerosol dusters or flammable aerosol dust- ers, can cause an explosive-like condition that could result in a personal injury and/or property damage. Never use aerosol dusters labeled flam- mable and always read instructions and safety precautions on the duster container label.

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.

The power cord wall plug is the primary means of disconnecting the machine from the AC supply.

Do not remove the power cord's ground pin and do not use a ground adapter.

Make sure the area in front of the power outlet is free of obstruction.

DO NOT route the power cord over sharp edges or trap it between pieces of furniture. Make sure there is no strain on it.

To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, DO NOT attempt to remove covers or disassemble the equipment. The housing encloses hazardous parts. If any components are dropped or otherwise damaged, report such damage to your Pitney Bowes customer service representative.

Keep fingers, long hair, jewelry, neck ties, and loose clothing away from moving parts at all times.

When removing jammed material, avoid using too much force to prevent personal injury and damaging equipment.

To prevent overheating do not cover system vent openings.
