Advertisements and Inscriptions

Ads and inscriptions are messages you can include in the meter stamp. A number of standard advertisements and inscriptions are included with your mailing system. You can order customized ads and inscriptions by calling the Pitney Bowes Supply Line™ (refer to the Pitney Bowes Contact Infor- mation List at the front of this guide for the phone number). For information on ordering ads and inscriptions, refer to Chapter 11, Supplies and Options in this guide.

When you order additional advertisements or inscriptions you receive an art card which you insert into a slot on the side of the IntelliLink® Control Center. Once installed, you can select an advertisement or inscription when you run mail.

COMPLIANT

Shape based rates are USPS® rates that are based on the weight and dimensions (thickness, length, width) of the mail piece. All DM Series mailing systems support this rating structure.

Optional Permits You can print a permit on a piece of mail instead of a meter stamp. A permit is a postal mark containing a permit number that provides you with special processing or discount rates. You get the permit(s) from the US Post Office and the permit artwork from Pitney Bowes. For information on ordering per- mits, refer to Chapter 11, Supplies and Options in this guide.
