Store Advance
Date in a Custom
Preset

This feature may be offered as a standard or optional feature and is not

available on all Pitney Bowes solutions. Please contact your local account

representative to determine if this option is accessible on your system.
In order to store an Advance Date setting in a custom preset, you need to

first turn on this feature. For information on setting an advance date, refer

to Meter Stamp Options: Date section in Chapter 4 in this guide.
To enable this feature:
1. Press the Custom Presets key.

2. Press the right arrow key and the "Set Up Preset" screen opens.

3. Select Date Advance. The following message appears: "If set on, pre-

sets stored when the date is not advanced will return the system to
today's date.

"

• Select On to turn on this feature and store the date advance.

• Select Off if you want to turn off the feature.

4. Refer to the examples on the next page for more information on how

storing the Advance Date in custom presets works.

Example 1 -

If today is Wednesday and you set the advance date for 2

days* and store this advance in a custom preset, then:
• if you recall the preset on the same day (Wednesday) it will print Fri-

day's date on your postage.

• if you recall the preset on the next day (Thursday) it will print Saturday's

date on your postage.

Example 2 -

If you have previously set up your system so that it automati-

cally advances the date at 3 PM*, and you created a custom preset with the

Advance Date set to zero (that is, you did not advance the date), then:
• if you recall the preset before 3 PM it will print today's date on your

postage.

• if you recall the preset after 3 PM it will print tomorrow's date on your

postage.

Example 3 -

If you have previously set up your system so that it automati-

cally advances the date at 3 PM, and you create a custom preset that

advances the date by 2 days, then:
• if you recall the preset before 3 PM, the system will set the date two

days ahead.

• if you recall the preset after 3 PM, the system will still set the date two

days ahead.

NOTE:

If you create a custom preset with the Advance Date feature turned

off and you recall this preset, the current date setting is not affected.

* To set advance date, press the Menu button, select Meter Stamp Options,

then select Advance Date.

* To automatically advance the date (by 24 hours), press Menu button, select
Set Up

, press the down arrow key, then select Date will advance after.
