Printing a $0.00 Meter Stamp

If you want to check the ink imprint (meter stamp) on your machine, you can generate a $0.00 meter stamp for this purpose. At the Home screen, simply press Zero, then press Enter/yes, and slide an enve- lope (or tape strip) through the machine.

Auto-Advance of Printed Date for the Meter Stamp

The machine automatically advances the printed date on the me- ter stamp (as well as its internally held date) when the system time reaches 12:00 AM.

Manually Changing Printed Date for the Meter Stamp

You may want to advance the date printed on the meter stamp if it is after normal business hours and you want to prepare outgoing mail for a future business day's mailing.

IMPORTANT:

You can advance the date up to 30 days from the current date.

Changing the printed date does not change the machine's in- ternally held date.

You can always return the printed date to the current date.

You cannot change the printed date to a date earlier than the machine's internally held date (in an effort to "backdate" the mail).

Accounting data is posted on the actual date the mail piece is run (per the internal clock/calendar in the mailing system), not by the date printed on the meter stamp.
