Printing a Meter Stamp with an Advanced Date
You may want to advance the date printed on the meter stamp if it is after normal business hours and you
want to prepare outgoing mail for a future business day's mailing.
NOTE: The machine automatically advances the printed date on the meter stamp (as well as its internally held
date) when the system time reaches 12:00 AM.
Advanced Date Features
l You can advance the date up to 30 days from the current date.
l Changing the printed date does not change the machine's internally held date.
l You can always return the printed date to the current date.
l You cannot change the printed date to a date earlier than the machine's internally held date (in an
effort to "backdate" the mail).
l Accounting data is posted on the actual date the mail piece is run (per the internal clock/calendar in
the mailing system), not by the date printed on the meter stamp.
How to Advance the Date Manually
1. Press Options.
2. Select Advance the date.
3. The Machine displays the current date in MM DD YY format. You may either:

you want to advance the date.
4. Select Continue. The new date now shows in the Home screen.
5. To set the date on your mail back to the current date, press Options and select Set to todays
date.
