Postage Pass - Automated Postage Refill
With this feature, you determine the amount of postage you want trans-
ferred to your meter during each refill and you choose the dollar amount at
which you want a refill to occur. When the postage balance in the meter
drops to the amount you’ve set as the low funds value, the meter automati-
cally downloads the amount you preset. Your meter is always ready for use.
When this feature is enabled, your system will automatically initiate contact
with Pitney Bowes to refill your meter according to the values you establish
in the system. Your mailing system will only initiate a refill when the system
powers down (Sleep Mode), wakes up (if it was turned off), or if your post-
age meter runs low on funds. Your system will not initiate a refill during a
transaction, or in-between transactions. This ensures that your normal
operations will not be interrupted.
When your system automatically connects, it will also check to see if any
other tasks are necessary during the same connection. This includes
uploads of tracking records, electronic postal inspection, or other functions
performed during the refill. If an update is required, you will be prompted to
do so at that time.
