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 envelope
(or tape strip) through the machine.
Auto-Advance of Printed Date for the Meter Stamp
The
machine
automatically advances the printed date on the meter
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
internally 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
.
