Appendix C • Glossary

Account

—set up when using the Standard Accounting option. An ac-

count can be an organization, person, department (e.g., “Sales”), or

project to which postage is charged. You can assign a unique name

to each. The machine stores the total postage used and the number

of mail pieces processed for each account. The total number of ac-

counts 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 com-

pany. You use an analog phone line when you connect to the Pitney

Bowes Data Center using your machine's modem. Analog phone

lines are usually Fax lines, residential phone lines, and lines used by

modems or credit card readers

.

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 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 selec-

tions. It indicates that you're ready to print postage.

Inspection

—The process of examining the postage usage through

the machine to assure accurate postal funds accounting. Your ma-

chine is subject to remote inspection whenever you add postage to

it. If you haven't refilled your machine for 90 days, the display shows

the message “Inspection Due”. If you haven't refilled it for 120 days,

you'll see “Inspection Required.”
To do an inspection, simply add postage or connect to the Data Center.

IntelliLink

®

—A Pitney Bowes technology that allows you to down-

load machine features, and postal rate and system software updates

via a digital link.

Lock Code

—A four-digit code that can be set up which acts as a

password to gain access to the machine after it powers up or after it

is awakened from a sleep mode.
