1 For your safety
The PostBase Vision complies with the relevant safety regulations for information
technology equipment in office environments.
Before installing, commissioning and using the PostBase Vision mailing system,
please read this safety information carefully.
For your own safety, please observe the following instructions:
Proper use
• PostBase Vision is a digital mailing system with ink-jet print technology for
metering mail.
• The PostBase Vision mailing system is intended only for use in enclosed offices or
office-like environments. Observe the operating conditions specified in the “Technical Data” section.
• The PostBase Vision mailing system is intended exclusively for processing mail
pieces in accordance with the specifications described in the “Technical Data” section.
Prevention of electrical hazards
• Operate the PostBase Vision mailing system only on a grounded single-phase
power socket. Make sure that the power connection conforms to the power requirements indicated on the type plates.
• Make sure the sockets for connecting the PostBase Vision mailing system are
close by and easily accessible at all times.
• Unplug the PostBase Vision mailing system power plugs from the sockets in case
of an emergency.
• Take care to ensure that no foreign objects penetrate the PostBase Vision mailing
system interior.
• Be extremely careful when handling liquids.
• When refilling the sealing liquid, make sure that no live parts become wet.
• Unplug all power plugs of the PostBase Vision mailing system prior to cleaning the
mailing system.
Prevention of mechanical hazards
• Keep long hair, fingers, loose clothing pieces, neck ties, scarves, jewelry and the
like away from moving machine parts.
• Do not remove any parts of the housing.
• Do not remove any equipment related to safety or protection. Do not make them
inoperative or unable to function.
For your safety
Accessories and consumables
• We recommend to use only approved FP equipment and FP original parts.
The manufacturer FP has established reliability, safety and applicability. The manufacturer cannot assess the reliability, safety and applicability for products not
approved by FP, and therefore not vouch for such products. Full functionality of the
PostBase Vision mailing system is only guaranteed at the time of delivery if original
Francotyp-Postalia ink cartridges are used.
• Use the supplied power and connection cables or cables that have been approved
by Francotyp-Postalia. Make sure that the cables are not damaged.
• When handling ink cartridges, observe the hazardous substance labeling and the
product information enclosed with each package.
Avoid eye contact with the ink. Ingestion of the ink can be harmful to health. Keep
the ink cartridges away from children. Detailed information can be found on the
safety data sheet, available at sdb.francotyp.com.
General safety instructions
• Install and commission the PostBase Vision mailing system as described in the
“Installation and commissioning” section.
• Never transport the PostBase Vision mailing system by attachments such as weighing platform, label compartment, display or drawer. The best way to transport the individual components is to hold them on the side at the bottom in the recesses on the
housing.
• If the mailing system was previously in a cold environment (i.e. below 50 °F /
10 °C): Unpack the mailing system and wait at least two hours before connecting
and commissioning the PostBase Vision mailing system. The PostBase Vision
needs this time to adapt to the environmental conditions. Any condensed moisture
will escape.
• The “PostBase Vision Feeder” is designed for operation on the PostBase Vision
postage meter. It is not permissible to operate the Feeder without the
PostBase Vision postage meter.
• Only have maintenance and repair work carried out by qualified personnel
approved by Francotyp-Postalia. Otherwise any warranty claims may become void.
• Note: When a letter is fed, letter transport will start automatically after a short delay.
Do not be startled.

2 PostBase Vision mailing system – Short profile
2.1 Things worth knowing about the PostBase Vision
PostBase Vision, the new mailing system from the PostBase
series for small to medium-sized mail volumes. It is characterized by its intuitive operation via the 5-inch large swiveling color touch display. The new inkjet print system with
only one ink cartridge ensures clean, offset-free prints.
Modular design The modular design allows the mailing system to be flexibly
adapted to the structure and quantity of your outgoing mail.
The basic model consists of the PostBase Vision postage
meter with scale, hand feed tray and catch tray.
This basic model can easily be expanded with optional components, e.g. for automatic feeding of shipments from the
stack.
The PostBase Vision mailing system is available in various
versions with cycle speeds ranging from 35 letters per
minute to 85 letters per minute.
Intuitive operation After turning on at the touch of a button, the clearly arranged
operator guidance in the touch screen always takes you
quickly and safely to the desired destination.
PostBase Vision also shows what to do on the display for
tasks that are not everyday occurrences, such as changing
the ink cartridge. Thanks to this operating concept, even
inexperienced and occasional users can quickly get to grips
with the PostBase Vision mailing system.
Metering To meter, simply place the letter on it – the PostBase Vision
Letters as
advertising medium
will seize the letter and meter it, after which it is exited to the
right side ready for dispatch.
Metering is possible on mail pieces made of ink-absorbing
material – postcards to 0.4" (10 mm) thick letters in ISO B4
format – and special self-adhesive labels.
In addition to printing postage, you can print two custom
advertisements of your choice on every mail piece you
send. These can be graphic advertising motifs, text messages or information displayed as QR code (optional).
PostBase Vision mailing system – Short profile
Load postage Easily load postage for metering from the data center direct-
ly into your mailing system. If desired, PostBase Vision will
also ensure that you have sufficient credit and will prompt
you to visit the postage shop if necessary.
Remote services:
Flexible and up to date
The PostBase Vision ensures you are always using the current postage rates. Whether new postage rates, advertising
motifs or machine software – all updates are loaded directly
into your mailing system via synchronization.
Access control The PostBase Vision mailing system can be protected
against unauthorized use via a PIN.
www.discoverFP.com The discoverFP customer portal is available to all users of
the PostBase Vision mailing system.
Your password-protected access will provide you with all
the important information about your mailing system, for
example, the complete overview of your data (orders, contracts, invoices, …), information on available updates, the
accessories shop and consumables and much more.
The discoverFP customer portal is also the place where you
can conveniently manage cost accounts, user profiles and
advertising motifs from your laptop / PC. A number of convenient reporting functions are available on the customer
portal for evaluating the consumption data of your mailing
system.
11
Additional functions The PostBase Vision mailing system offers a range of con-
venient additional functions. Among these are:
– The space saving, integrated scale quickly and reliably
determines the weight for letters and parcels. The determined weight directly affects the product settings.
– Shortcut function for frequently used postal products.
– Cost account function for recording and evaluating
postage costs by cost account.
– Label printing. The PostBase Vision can print self-
adhesive labels, for large or thick mail pieces or for
envelopes that are not suited for ink-jet printing.
– Print lists of register states and loading report.
– Variable imprint offset for changing the meter imprint
position on the envelope.
PostBase Vision
12
Options The following options are available for expanding the basic
model and enhancing its functionality:
– PostBase Vision Feeder (automatic feeder with sealer).
The letters are removed individually from the stack,
optionally moistened and sealed and then transferred to
the postage meter.
– Sealer. Manually pass the open envelope through the
sealer. The moistened flap will be closed in the
PostBase Vision during subsequent metering.
– For larger mail volumes, the Drop Stacker with a capac-
ity of up to 250 letters (format: ISO DL, contents: 1 sheet
ISO A4) is the practical alternative to the catch tray.
The items ejected by PostBase Vision fall into the Drop
Stacker and are carefully stacked there. The finished mail
pieces can be easily removed from there in stacks – even
during operation.
– Differential weighing is a special weighing mode of the
integrated scale that helps you save time when weighing
and metering large amounts of similar mail pieces.
– Received stamp for labeling incoming mail.
