Setting the
Date and
Time of Day
If your mail is picked up at a certain time each day, you can set your sys-
tem to advance the date at the mail pickup time.
NOTE: The date on the meter stamp should correspond to the date when your
mail goes to the post office.
If you enter an invalid time or date, the system beeps and the screen dis-
plays the message: “Invalid Time”.
To adjust the time and enter date advance:
1. Press the
Menu key.
2. Select Set Up.
3. Press the down arrow and select Time of Day.
4. You can select:
Current Time
Date will Advance After
Daylight Saving
5. For Current Time, enter the actual time. Use the right arrow key to
toggle between AM and PM. You do not need to enter the colon (:) be-
tween hours and minutes.
For Date will Advance After, enter the time when you want the date
to advance. As soon as your system reaches the time you set, it au-
tomatically advances the date 24 hours and prints that date on your
postage.
EXAMPLE: If your mail goes to the Post Office at 3:00 PM each day, then
set the date advance to "3:00 PM". Any mail processed after 3:00 PM will
have the date for the following day printed on it. This ensures that the date
printed on the mail piece corresponds with the date it is brought to the Post
Office.
Press Enter to accept the time. To return to the main screen, press the
left arrow key.
