Overview
The Postage Meter
The Meter, located under the system, handles the funds (or money) in your mailing
system.
The Meter performs all necessary operations to comply with the postal standards. To
do so, regular connections to the Postal Services are necessary.
Managing Funds
As a user, you can carry out the following operations dealing with funds in your
mailing system:
• Check the available funds in the Meter
• Add funds to the Meter.
• Display the date of next call.
The funding operations trigger a connection of the mailing system to Postal Services
through an Internet connection or the telephone line.
Tracking Funds
You can generate reports on the use of the funds as all mailing operations involving
postage are recorded in the mailing system.
To generate reports, see
