Applying Postage
There are several ways you can apply postage using your postage
meter. Each method is described in its own section that follows.
NOTE 1: For applying postage, the postage meter does not have to
be connected to a phone line. However, when you need to add funds
to your postage meter, you must be connected to an analog phone
line (see Section 5 - Adding Postage/Connecting to Data Centre for
more information).
NOTE 2: The meter automatically advances the date at 12:00 AM.
Determining the Amount of Postage to Use
The amount of postage on a mail piece is based on CPC regulations
and involves factors such as:
•
class of mail
• weight
• how fast you want the mail piece delivered
• optional add-on CPC Services (such as A.R. Card, Coverage,
and Registration)
The internal rating feature for Lettermail rates calculates the postage
amount automatically based on the weight of the mail piece and the
class of mail you select.
