Your Postage
Meter Your mailing system contains a Postal Security Device (PSD) that
incorporates the latest technology approved by the United States Postal
Service to secure funds. The PSD (meter) contains the funds and performs
all calculations necessary to print meter stamps that comply with current
USPS standards. The PSD (postage meter) is located in your mailing
system’s IntelliLink Control Center™.
The Postal Security Device eliminates the need to perform physical
inspections thereby making the system easier and more convenient to
use.
The United States Postal Service (USPS) licenses your meter and requires
a modem inspection of the meter. Each time you refill your meter or check
your Postage By Phone
® account balance, the Pitney Bowes Data Center
automatically performs a postal inspection.
If the meter in your mailing machine has not detected a modem refill
transaction in 90 days, the message “Inspection Due” displays on the
IntelliLink Control Center main screen. However, you can still use your
meter.
If the meter has not detected a refill in 120 days, the message “Inspection
Required” displays and you cannot use your meter.
In either case you must perform a refill. If you don’t need to add funds at
this time, check your Postage By Phone account balance (see Checking
Your Postage By Phone
® Account Balance in this chapter). This satisfies
the inspection requirements.
If you have questions, call Postage By Phone (1.800.243.7800).
