Meter Stamp —The imprint produced by the machine (machine
stamp or indicia). Depending on your settings, it may include:
• The indicia (includes the postage amount, date, ZIP code, etc.)
• An advertisement, which is an optional part of the machine stamp
that lets you convey your own special message to the mail recipient.
Modem– a device on your machine for connecting to the Pitney
Bowes Data Center over a standard (analog) telephone line. This
modem should NOT be connected to a digital line (as is used on
most PBX systems in offices).
Origin Postal Code —The Postal Code assigned to your city or
town. Mail processed on your machine must be posted from a loca-
tion in your Postal Code area.
PC Meter Connect ™ – a small software application you install on your
PC to allow your meter to connect to the Pitney Bowes Data Center
through your PC’s Internet connection rather than over a standard
telephone line. Postage refills and system software updates can be
completed efficiently and much quicker via the Internet.
Postage-By-Phone
®
—A service available through Pitney Bowes that
allows you to buy postage and check account status via a phone line
or the Internet. It also permits convenient postal inspection.
Presets —A custom machine setting you can call up instantly at the
push of a button. You can assign each preset a number of values,
depending on the postage mode you're in, how your machine is set
up and what options are installed. A preset will always have a name
and postage amount, and could also have an account, ad, class of
service, operating mode and other values assigned to it.
Serial Number —The serial number found on the rear of the machine.
Sleep Mode —An energy-saving feature of your machine that clears
the display after a certain period of idle time. Pressing any key wakes
up the display.
Standby Mode (DM125/DM225 only) – The lowest power consump-
tion mode that may persist for an indefinite time when the product is
connected to an outlet and switched "off" at the back of the machine.
Standby is the product’s minimum power mode.
Supervisor Password —A four-digit code that can be set up to
protect unauthorized users from changing accounts when using the
Standard Accounting feature.
Tape Sheets —A sheet of self-adhering paper which you print post-
age on and apply to a piece of mail or package that is too big or thick
to be processed through the machine.
