Safety Requirements
Power Connection
Before connection, check whether the mailing system is suitable for the local AC
power voltage; refer to the type plates at the back of the pieces of equipment.
•
Use a socket outlet located close to the equipment and easily accessible. As the
power supply cord is the equipment disconnecting device, do not route the power
cord between pieces of furniture or over sharp edges.
•
Avoid using outlets controlled by wall switches or shared by other equipment.
•
Make sure there is no strain on the power supply cord.
1.2 Safety Requirements
THIS EQUIPMENT MUST BE GROUNDED
• Only connect the power plug to a socket outlet provided with a
protective ground contact.
• To reduce the risk of fire, use only the power cord supplied with
the mailing system.
• Do not use ground adaptors.
• Do not use this product on a wet floor or near water.
• In case of liquid spillage, disconnect the power cord from the
wall plug and proceed to cleaning.

General Safety
•
Before using your mailing system, thoroughly read the operating instructions.
•
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury to persons, follow normal and
basic safety precautions for office equipment when using your mailing system.
•
To avoid equipment damage, only use approved supplies (inks, tapes, cleaners...).
Follow the additional safety precautions below:
•
Do not place lighted candles, cigarettes, cigars, etc. on the mailing system.
•
When removing jammed material, avoid using too much force to prevent personal
injury and damaging equipment.
•
When lifting covers, wait for all parts to stop moving before placing hands near
feeder path or printhead.
•
To prevent overheating do not block the equipment ventilation openings or try to
stop the power supply fans.
•
Do not remove bolted covers as they enclose hazardous parts that should only be
accessed by a Service Representative.
The mailing system contains moving parts. Keep fingers, long
hair, jewelry, neck ties, loose clothing away from the mail path at
all times.

Telephone and LAN Connections
Your mailing system uses a telephone line to connect to the postal services and to
your customer online services.
You may also use a LAN to connect the mailing system to a mail accounting software
on a separate PC.
Follow the additional precautions below:
•
Avoid using equipment during an electrical storm; there may be a risk of electrical
shock from lightning.
•
Do not install telephone jacks or LAN connectors in wet locations.
•
Disconnect the telephone or LAN cord from the wall before removing equipment.
To prevent damage to equipment, do not confuse telephone jacks
that connect to the modem and LAN connectors that are bigger:
Phone (4 pins) LAN (8 pins)
To reduce the risk of fire, only connect the modem to the tele-
phone line using supplied cable (see Specifications p.189).

Disconnecting your Mailing System
How to Disconnect your Mailing System
How to Disconnect your
Mailing System
The power supply cord is the equipment disconnecting device.
1
First switch the mailing system to Sleep mode (see How to
Turn the Mailing System to 'Sleep' Mode p.19) if there is no
emergency.
2
Unplug the power cord from the wall plug.
3
If present, unplug the LAN cable and the telephone cord
from their sockets as they may still be energized.
Unplugging the power cord only when the mailing system is in
Sleep mode avoids keeping the ink cartridge in an unprotected
position where the ink may dry out and become unusable.

Power Management
Energy Star® Compliance
Office equipment is generally powered on 24 hours a day, so power management
features are important for saving energy and are an easy way to reduce air pollution.
Your mailing system is an Energy Star
®
qualified mailing system that automatically
goes into a low-power 'Sleep' mode after a period of inactivity.
The period is set to 20 minutes by default.
Spending a large portion of time in low-power mode not only saves energy but helps
your equipment run cooler and last longer.
'Sleep' Mode
You can also turn the mailing system to 'Sleep' mode manually.

Choosing a Type of Stamp
Introducing the 'Type of Stamp'
To process mail, you must first choose a 'Type of stamp' that corresponds to the type
of process you want to apply to your mail: printing postage for different rates, applying
amount or date corrections, printing 'Received' and the date, etc.
For each 'Type of stamp' you select, the mailing system displays all the parameters and only those parameters - that concern the type of process you want to apply.
Home Screen and Configuration Menu
Each type of stamp is associated to:
•
A specific Home screen that displays current parameters (weight, postage...)
•
A specific Configuration menu that allows you to set the stamp parameters.
3.1 Choosing a Type of Stamp
To directly gain access to the configuration menu of the type of
stamp, press on the control panel.
Shortcut keys are available on the front panel of your machine.
Using them saves you many key strikes to reach rate selection,
imprint memories, weighing modes, imprint customizing, funds
status...

Details on the Weighing Types
•
Manual Weight ()
In this mode, you enter the weight manually. See p.58).
•
Standard Weighing ()
In this mode, you manually and successively put each mail piece on the Weighing
Platform, and then put the mail piece into the mail path (or print a label).
•
Differential Weighing ()
This mode speeds up the weighing process and increases your efficiency: you put
all the mail pieces together on the Weighing Platform, then remove the pieces one
by one and put them into the mail path. The mailing system calculates postage and
prints the mail piece automatically.

You can leave all the mail pieces in a tray on the Weighing Platform: the mailing
system will ask you to confirm printing for the last item removed (the tray).
•
Differential Weighing Auto-Tape ()
This mode is identical to Differential weighing except that the system automa-
tically prints on labels.
All weighing options listed below may not be available in your
mailing system. Check with your customer service how you can
easily add weighing features to your mailing system, via online
services.

Overview
The Postal Security Device (PSD)
The PSD, located in the base, handles the funds (or money) in your mailing system.
The PSD performs all necessary operations to comply with the postal standards. To
do so, regular connections to the Postal Services are necessary.
Managing Funds
As user, you can carry out the following operations dealing with funds in your mailing
system:
•
Check the available funds in the PSD
•
Add funds to the PSD.
The funding operations trigger a connection of the mailing system to Postal Services
through the telephone line.
Tracking Funds
You can issue reports on the use of the funds as all mailing operations involving
postage are recorded in the mailing system.
To issue reports, see Reports p.89.
4.1 Overview
Check that your mailing system is connected to a telephone line
(see Connections p.15) and that the connection is properly configured (see Connection Settings p.147).

Accounting and Access Rights Overview
Postage Tracking and Access Control
Your mailing system includes functions that allow you to implement the following security and accounting requirements:
•
Track the usage that is made of postage: the Accounts function
•
Control the access of the users to the machine: the Access Control function.
You can activate these two functions independently. If both are activated, you can, to
better compartmentalize the expenses, allocate each user certain accounts only.
The Accounts Function
Activating the Accounts function in the mailing system is a convenient way to track
postage expenses by, for example, associating accounts to departments in your organization (Marketing, Sales, etc.) or to different companies, if the mailing system is
shared.
When the Accounts function is activated, the currently selected account is charged
each time the user applies postage to mail.
Then you can issue reports on each account usage (for information about reports, see
Reports p.89).
Accounts from the User's Perspective
If the Accounts function is activated, users of the mailing system have to select an
account when starting their work session.
Afterwards, the user can change the account to charge according to the mail that has
to be processed.
The Access Control Function
As supervisor, you can set the mailing system to ask for a PIN code when a user
wakes up the machine to start a session.
This allows you to protect the machine and restrict the usage of its funds.
The different access control policies you can implement as supervisor are:
•
No PIN code: access to the machine is free
•
Unique system PIN code: users enter the PIN code to access the machine.

and Accounts functions activation.

Report Overview
As user or supervisor, you can get a range of reports to regularly view, print or store
information on the mailing system usage, funds usage, account consumption, etc.
Reports generally require a beginning date and an end date. Your mailing system
allows you to get reports on the activity over the past two years.
Typically, the reports are available on screen and can be printed out on an external
USB printer or saved on a USB memory device.
The following table gives the reports you can get.
