Account
—set up when using the Accounting option. An account can be
an organization, person, department, etc. to which postage is charged.
The machine stores the total postage used and the number of mail pieces
processed for each account. The total number of accounts available on
your machine depends on the option purchased.
Advertisement, Envelope
—An advertising message that appears next
to the machine's meter stamp. You can choose from an array of standard
and custom ads.
Analog Line
–a "standard" phone line supplied by the phone company.
You use an analog phone line when you connect to the Pitney Bowes
Data Center using your machine's modem phone jack. Analog phone
lines are usually Fax lines, residential phone lines, and lines used by
modems or credit card readers
.
Compare to
Digital Line.
Default
—A value or setting the machine automatically uses unless
you change it. As delivered, your machine has factory-set defaults or
“normal” settings. You may change these if you wish.
Digital Line
–a type of line used on digital phone systems (so called PBX
systems). Many PBX manufacturers have designed phone systems that
deliver much more current to the phone than does a "standard" analog
phone line supplied by the phone company. As a result, if you connect
your machine's modem phone jack to a PBX digital line, thinking that it’s
an analog line, you could damage your modem with too much current
and not even know it.
Home Screen
—The machine display that shows your current selections.
It indicates that you're ready to print postage.
Inspection (Postal)
—The USPS
®
requires a postal inspection of your
machine every 120 days to ensure accurate postal funds accounting.
This postal inspection requirement can be automatically met by merely
connecting your machine to the Pitney Bowes Data Center for any
reason (e.g., to check your Postage By Phone
®
account, add postage to
your machine, etc.).
IntelliLink
®
—A Pitney Bowes technology that allows you to download
machine features, postal rates, and system updates via a digital link to
the Pitney Bowes Data Center.
