Postal Rate Update (mandatory)
Postal rates change periodically as defined by your Postal Authority. If new rates are available, you can download them quickly and easily directly from the Data Centre.
The new rates are normally available for download at least 7 days before the effective date. If you connect to the Data Centre and there is time before the effective date, you have a choice whether to download the new rates or not. Once the effective date has been reached (or passed), however, you will have to download the new rates.
The screens on your machine will give you information regarding the status of the rate update and the choices available to you.
If the rate for a normal letter has changed and is effective immediately, a screen displays showing the present preset postage and asks you if you want to reset the normal preset postage. Press Enter. A screen displays for you to enter the new normal rate.
When a rate change update takes place it may also affect other presets you have set in your mailing machine. You should check all your presets to insure that they conform to the new rates. See Chapter 4, Normal and Custom Presets for instructions on changing preset values.
The display tells you when a rate change update is complete. It also tells you if the update is immediate or takes effect at a later date by listing the new date.
