discoverFP
customer portal
discoverFP is your gateway to FP products, services
and support for the PostBase Vision. On discoverFP
you can manage your account, franking system, access
additional services and order consumable supplies.
DX
Private carrier. In case the DX feature is enabled, your
PostBase Vision can also frank mail pieces for delivery
by DX.
All DX frankings will be counted separately and bal-
anced directly with the private carrier.
Franking imprint
Franking mail for carrying by the Royal Mail.
When franking, the PostBase Vision Mailmark™
franking system prints the Royal Mail logo, the 2d
indicia, the date of posting, the postage (product price)
and the franking machine identification as well as a box
with Royal Mail product data.
Additionally, the franking imprint can contain custom
adverts, i.e. logos or texts.
Label
Special self-adhesive label which you can frank and
stick onto your mail pieces. Necessary for large, heavy
and thick mail pieces. Also use labels to attach on the
mail piece when the envelope material is not suited for
ink-jet printing.
PIN
Personal Identification Number.
The PostBase Vision franking system can be protected
against unauthorised use via a PIN.
PPI
Printed Postage Impression.
A PPI is a mark on the mail piece. It indicates that
postage has been paid.
PostBase Vision supports printing PPIs for several pro-
ducts, e.g. 1st and 2nd class mail. All imprints contain
the POSTAGE PAID mark and the PPI license number.
