Accidentally Printing the Wrong Postage
Once you have printed a meter stamp, the postage funds have been
“used up” by the machine, even if the printing is illegible. That’s why
it is so important to make sure the correct value is shown on the ma-
chine before inserting the mail piece or tape sheet, and that you do
not let the ink level get too low. We recommend you always keep a
spare ink cartridge on hand just for this reason.
If you would like a refund, you can go in person to the Post Office
where you meter is registered (i.e., the ZIP Code of your meter
stamp) within 60 days of the meter stamp date. You will need to bring
the specific meter stamps as proof for your claim (they must be leg-
ible) and complete form 3533 “Application and Voucher for Refund of
Postage, Fees, and Services”.
i NOTE: If your application for refund is accepted, the USPS ® will
refund 90% of the original meter stamp amount.
IMPORTANT: To help prevent you from accidentally printing a
postage value that's more than you need, you can have your meter
warn you when you manually key in a postage value that is higher
than the values you typically use. This setting is known as the high
value warning (see Chapter 7 - System Options to set this option) .
The high warning value feature is effective when you manually key
in the postage value, but does not function if the internal rating
feature is used.
