The following section provides a summary of the main features and ben- efits of the DM500™ and DM550™ Systems.

As an ENERGY STAR Partner, Pitney Bowes has determined that the DM500™ and DM550™ Systems meets the ENERGY STAR guidelines for energy efficiency.

This system automatically enters a low power state called a “sleep mode” if you don’t use it for a while. This keeps energy consumption low, while maintaining the high state of readiness you expect from Pitney Bowes mailing equipment.

Pitney Bowes is committed to designing and manufacturing energy-ef- ficient equipment because it lowers your operating costs and helps pre- serve the environment.

Office equipment is the fastest growing electricity load in the commercial buildings sector. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) pro- motes energy efficiency because electricity generation contributes to air pollution, including 35 percent of all U.S. emissions of carbon dioxide, one of the key contributors to global warming. It also accounts for 70 percent and 33 percent of all U.S. emissions of sulfur dioxides and nitrogen oxides, respectively; these contribute to acid rain and urban smog. By using more energy-efficient equipment, you can reduce both pollution and costs.

The ENERGY STAR program is another example of how Pitney Bowes is good for the environment and smart for business.

The postage meter on your mailing system is a Postal Security Device (PSD) that incorporates the latest technology approved by the United States Postal Service to secure funds. This technology eliminates the need to perform physical inspections thereby making the system easier and more convenient to use. The PSD contains the funds and performs all of the calculations necessary to print meter stamps that comply with the latest USPS standards.
