Pitney Bowes DM300c User Manual

Account—A department (e.g., “Human Resources”) to which 

postage is charged. Your machine may allow you to set up and 

choose a number of different accounts.  You can assign a unique 

name to each. The machine stores the total postage used and the 

number of mail pieces processed for each account. 
The accounting feature is optional and the total number of accounts 

available on your machine depends on the option purchased.

to the machine's digital meter stamp. You can choose from a range

since the machine was placed in service.
