5 • Adding Postage/Connecting to Data Centre

System Update

If there has been a feature enhancement or other non-essential update to the software that runs your machine, you will be notified that a system update is available.

Advertisements

If there are new advertisements that you ordered available, you will be notified that you can perform a download to obtain these.

Software Update (mandatory)

If there has been an important update to the software that runs your machine, you will be notified that a required update is necessary.

Postal Code Update (mandatory)

If the Town Circle on record at the Data Centre does not match the Town Circle of your mailing system, the correct information will be downloaded into your machine. (When a machine is moved to a new location, the Data Centre enters the new Town Circle into the record. Your system is updated when a connection is made to the Data Centre.)

Postal Inspection (mandatory)

Each time you add postage to the machine, the Data Centre automatically performs a postal inspection as required by the Postal Authority. If the interval between inspections is too long, your machine's display prompts "Inspection Due". Eventually, if an inspection is still not carried out, the display prompts "Inspection Required." You won't be able to use your mailing system until your system is inspected.

See Section 8 "Troubleshooting" for specific details of the time periods before these prompts appear.

To satisfy the inspection requirement, simply:

Connect to the Data Centre as described in the Checking your Postage by Phone account balance.

Add postage (see Add Postage earlier in chapter for procedure).

NOTE: You can't use this option for Inspection Required.

When an inspection is performed, an "Inspection Complete" screen displays upon completion. The display also notifies you of the date the next inspection is due.
