• Do not use the telephone or equipment connected to the telephone line
in the vicinity of a gas leak.
• Do not connect your postage meter (Postal Security Device) to a digital
phone line. The device’s built-in modem is designed to work with an
analog phone line only. (Your fax machine is usually connected to an
analog phone line.) If you do not know if your line is digital, call your
phone provider for verification.
• Disconnect the telephone cord from the wall before removing the 
IntelliLink® Control Center.
Your DM Series™ Digital Mailing System is designed to remain powered on
at all times. This is necessary so that the printer station can perform the
required maintenance it needs to maintain peak performance.
Your DM Series™ System has a power switch (for the location, refer to
Chapter 2
, page 2-6) so that you can properly remove power to the system.
If you need to power off your system, you must use the power switch.
When you power off the system, the system immediately moves the print-
head back to the capping station to keep the printhead from drying out.
Powering off your system by any other means, such as a wall switch, a
power strip, or unplugging from a wall outlet, will result in higher than nor-
mal ink consumption and could damage your mailing system.
CAUTION:
To reduce the risk of fire, use only the 26
AWG telecommunication line cord either supplied with
the machine or supplied separately.
