NOTE:

If the PC Meter Connect

software was not running for

some reason (you'll know this when you don't see the PC Meter

Connect

icon in the system tray), double clicking on the desktop

icon will restart the software. Alternately, you may click on the Start

button > All Programs > Pitney Bowes > PC Meter Connect. A PC

NOTE:

For information on installing this feature on your PC, see

Appendix A - PC Meter Connect

™.

Once installed, all you need to do is verify that the PC Meter Con-

nect™ icon is in the system tray (this indicates it is running), and that

there is no red "X" on the icon (which indicates the meter is not de-

teced by the application).

If you connect or disconnect your machine from the PC, messages

display from the PC Meter Connect

icon in the system tray:

• "Meter Not Connected" displays when you disconnect your meter

from the PC. The red "x" stays on the icon thereafter.


• "Meter detected" displays when you connect your meter to the PC

(after it had been disconnected). The red "x" disappears.
