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:
• Changing the printed date does not change the meter's inter-
nally 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
meter's internally held date (in an effort to "backdate" the mail).
1. Press Options.
2. Select “Advance the date”.
3. Displays current date in MM DD YY format. You may either:
A. Select “Add one day” to advance date one day for each
pressing of the key.
B. Key in a number (in US from 1-30) representing the number
of days you want to advance the date, then select “Add x
days (1-30)”.
4. Select “Continue”. The new date now shows in the Home screen.
5. To set the date on your mail back to the current date, press
Options and select “Set to todays date”.
Auto-Advance of Printed Date for the Meter Stamp
The system is set from the factory to automatically advance the print-
ed date on the meter stamp (as well as its internally held date) when
the system time reaches 12:00 AM. However, you may change the
time of day when the auto-advance of the date occurs (see Chapter
7, System Options for more information).
