Pitney Bowes SV62214 User Manual

 Postage is stored internally in your meter. When you need to add 
more, you simply establish communications between your meter 
and the Pitney Bowes Data Center, and specify the amount of post-
age you wish to download. The postage is electronically sent to your 
meter from your Pitney Bowes Postage By Phone

®

 meter payment 

account.
You must establish a Pitney Bowes Postage By Phone

®

 meter pay-

ment  account and have funds available in it before you can down-
load the  funds (for postage) to your meter. There are several ways 
you can arrange to have funds put in your Postage By Phone

®

 me-

ter payment account (send in a check, direct withdrawal, establish 
credit, etc.). See the Pitney Bowes Contact List on page v to call for 
further information.

You can establish communications between your meter and the 
Pitney Bowes Data Center in two ways:
•   Install the PC Meter Connect

™

 software on a Windows PC that 

has Internet access and connect a USB cable between your me-
ter and the PC (both the software and cable are supplied in your 
starter kit). See page 6-5 and follow the prompts in the PC Meter 
Connect

™

 software. 

• 

If you do not have access to a Windows PC with Internet access, 
you may connect the meter to an analog phone line (see page 6-6). 

 

 Postage refills and updates are usually much slower 

using an analog line than using a PC with PC Meter Connect 
software installed.

IMPORTANT:
For printing postage, the meter does not have to be connected to 
the Pitney Bowes Data Center. However, if you need to access the 
Data Center on a frequent basis (say, for checking your Postage By 
Phone

®

 balances or for adding funds), you may keep the meter in a 

"ready-to-connect" state on a permanent basis (either to a PC if using 
the PC Meter Connect

™

software or to an analog phone line).
