Performing Meter Inspections
The Canada Post requires a postal inspection of your machine every 90 days.
This postal inspection requirement can be automatically met by connecting to the Pitney Bowes Data
Centre to check your Postage By Phone® meter payment account balance or to add postage to your
meter. Even though this procedure is the same as checking your Postage By Phone account balance, it
satisfies the Canada Post inspection requirements.
1. Make sure your machine can make connection to the Data Centre.
2. Press Add Postage.
3. Select Check PBP balance.
4. The system connects to the Pitney Bowes Data Centre (this may take a few moments). Various
screens displays, letting you know the status of the process.
5. The Prepaid and Other balances displays. Press No.
6. If there are no updates for your system, you will return to the Home screen. If there are updates
available, the display notifies you of this fact.
If you are connected to the PB Data Centre using PC Meter Connect, refer to Performing Meter
Inspections Using PC Meter Connect.
