Postal Rate Update
Postal rates change periodically by the USPS ® . If new rates are avail-
able, you can download them quickly and easily directly from the Pitney
Bowes Data Center. The new rates are normally available for download
at least seven days before the effective date. Once the effective date
has been reached (or passed), you have to download the new rates.
The display tells you when a Rate Change update is complete. It
also tells you if the update is immediate or takes effect at a later date
by listing the new date.
i NOTE: If you decide to take the update and the rates go into
effect in the future, you will not be printing postage at the new
rates until the effective date is reached.
If the rate for a First Class letter has changed and is effective imme-
diately, a screen displays showing the present preset postage and
asks you if you want to reset the normal preset postage. Press Yes/
Enter. A screen displays for you to enter the new rate.
i NOTE: When a Rate Change update takes place it may also af-
fect other presets you have set in your mailing machine. You
must check all your presets to insure that they conform to the
new rates. See Chapter 7, System Options for instructions on
changing preset values.
As part of downloading the new rates, we recommend that you print
the last rates update report (see figure below) when prompted.
System will begin using new rates on the date effective.
