Glossary
Account—A department (e.g., “Human Resources”) to which postage is charged. Your machine may allow you to set up and choose a number of different accounts. You can assign a unique name to each. The machine stores the total postage used and the number of mail pieces processed for each account.
The accounting feature is optional and the total number of accounts available on your machine depends on the option purchased.
Advertisement (Ad)—An advertising message that appears next to the machine's digital meter stamp. You can choose from a range of standard and custom ads. See Chapter 9, Supplies/Options for ordering.
Ascending Register (Used)—The total amount of postage used since the machine was placed in service.
Batch Register—A part of the machine’s memory that stores the total postage spent and the number of pieces of mail processed. Your machine stores this information in memory for each account. You can clear the contents of the batch register if you want.
Default—A value or setting the machine automatically uses unless you change it. As delivered, your machine has factory-set defaults or “normal” settings. You may change these if you wish.
