Downloads from the Data Center to Your Machine (cont'd)

The following downloads/activities may occur when your system is connected to the Pitney Bowes Data Center:

System Update

If there has been an important update to your system, you will be notified that a required update is necessary.

Envelope Ads/Postal Inscriptions

If you ordered new envelope advertisements or postal inscriptions, you will be notified that you can perform a download to obtain these.

Postal/ZIP Code Update

If the Postal Code on record at the Pitney Bowes Data Center does not match the Postal/ZIP Code of your system, the code will be downloaded into your system. (When a system is moved to a new Postal Code, the Data Center enters the new code into the record. The system is updated when a connection is made to the Data Center.)

Postal Inspection

The USPS® requires a postal inspection of your machine every 120 days. This postal inspection requirement can be automatically met by connecting to the Pitney Bowes Data Center to check your Post- age By Phone® meter payment account balance or to add postage to your meter.

iNOTE: If the interval between inspections is more than 90 days, your machine's display prompts "Inspection Due." If the interval between inspections is more than 120 days, the display prompts "Inspection Required." At this point, you won't be able to use your mailing system until your system is inspected. In either case, to satisfy the postal inspection requirement, simply:

Follow the prompts on the "Inspection Due" screen, or

Press Funds and select ""Check amt available to download?" (this will not decrease or change the funds in your account).
