DM800™ Series Digital Mailing System Operating Guide

7Using Electronic Confirmation Services

The United States Post Office (USPS) provides three types of confirmation services:

•Delivery Confirmation - shows you when the postal carrier delivered the mail.

•Signature Confirmation - shows you who signed for the mail.

•Certified Mail - provides you with proof that you mailed the item.

Each of these services has its own barcode labels. Using preprinted bar- code labels provided by Pitney Bowes, you can electronically process and submit records for the three types of USPS Confirmation Services to the Pitney Bowes Data Center.
