An explanation of the features and the tabs accessible from the PC Meter Connect™ Main Window are provided on the following pages.

iNOTE: Please keep in mind the following when accessing fea- tures from the PC Meter Connect™ Main Window:

If the meter is in "sleep" mode, accessing a feature from the Main Window will "awaken" the meter.

Once in an awaken state, the meter must be at the "Home" screen (ready to print postage) to use features found on the Postage, Updates, and My Meter tabs. Otherwise, a "meter is busy" message displays on the PC. This condition can happen, for example, if you have the Accounting option set up on the meter and the meter is waiting for someone to select an account for printing postage.
