Appendix D • Glossary
Account—set up when using the Accounting option. An account can be an organization, person, department, etc. to which postage is charged. The machine stores the total postage used and the number of mail pieces processed for each account. The total number of ac- counts available on your machine depends on the option purchased.
Advertisement, Envelope—An advertising message that appears next to the machine's meter stamp. You can choose from an array of standard and custom ads.
Analog Line–a "standard" phone line supplied by the phone com- pany. You use an analog phone line when you connect to the Pitney Bowes Data Center using your machine's modem phone jack. Analog phone lines are usually Fax lines, residential phone lines, and lines used by modems or credit card readers. Compare to Digital Line.
Default—A value or setting the machine automatically uses unless you change it. As delivered, your machine has factory-set defaults or “normal” settings. You may change these if you wish.
Digital Line–a type of line used on digital phone systems (so called PBX systems). Many PBX manufacturers have designed phone sys- tems that deliver much more current to the phone than does a "stan- dard" analog phone line supplied by the phone company. As a result, if you connect your machine's modem phone jack to a PBX digital line, thinking that it’s an analog line, you could damage your modem with too much current and not even know it.
Home Screen—The machine display that shows your current selec- tions. It indicates that you're ready to print postage.
Inspection (Postal)—The USPS® requires a postal inspection of your machine every 120 days to ensure accurate postal funds ac- counting. This postal inspection requirement can be automatically met by merely connecting your machine to the Pitney Bowes Data Center for any reason (e.g., to check your Postage By Phone® ac- count, add postage to your machine, etc.).
IntelliLink®—A Pitney Bowes technology that allows you to down- load machine features, postal rates, and system updates via a digital link to the Pitney Bowes Data Center.
