About PC Meter Connect™
PC Meter Connect is a high-speed connectivity option that eliminates
the need for an analog line. Similar to Constant Connection (LAN
Connection), PC Meter Connect ™ enables your meter to connect to
the Internet but it does so via a Windows PC having an Internet con-
nection.
You simply load the PC Meter Connect™ software from the CD
included in your starter kit into a PC with an internet connection
(broadband, DSL, network, etc.) and connect a USB cable between
your meter and the PC.
There are two versions of PC Meter Connect
™ documented in this
guide, Basic for DM100i/DM200L, and Enhanced for DM125/DM225.
DM100i/DM200L Basic Version
This version allows your meter to communicate to the Data Center
for postage downloads and rate/meter updates via a PC with internet
access. All functions are performed at the meter.
DM125/DM225 Enhanced Version
Besides the Basic features, the Enhanced version lets you, from your PC:
• walk through the entire installation process of your meter (if that is
the method you choose when first installing)
• see status messages (such as "low funds") from the meter
• see or print your postage refill history
• set machine settings, such as date and time, printing options,
presets, etc.
• run accounting reports
The Enhanced version also includes links from your PC to:
• demos to walk you through common procedures
• a PDF version of this Operator Guide
• online support for your system
• the Pitney Bowes Online Store, which provides an easy and con-
venient way to order ink cartridges, E-Z Seal ® , envelopes, and
other supplies for your system.
