Pitney Bowes DM525 User Manual

If your mail is picked up at a certain time each day, you can set your system 
to advance the date at the mail pickup time. 

If you enter an invalid time or date, the system beeps and the screen dis-
plays the message: “Invalid Time”.

To adjust the time and enter date advance:

1. Press the Menu key.
2. Select Set Up.
3. Press the down arrow and select Time of Day. 
4. Select the option you want to set:

•

Current Time - if you select this option, enter the actual time. Use 
the right arrow key to toggle between AM and PM. You do not need 
to enter the colon (:) between hours and minutes. Press Enter to 
accept the time. To return to the main screen, press the left arrow 
key. 

•

Date will Advance After - if you select this option, enter the time 
when you want the date to advance. As soon as your system 
reaches the time you set, it automatically advances the date 24 
hours and prints that date on your postage. 



Press Enter to accept the time. To return to the main screen, press 
the left arrow key. 

•

Daylight Saving - if you select this option, you will be able to turn 
the Daylight Saving mode on or off. Select Turn off, or Turn on. To 
exit the Daylight Saving mode, press the left arrow key.

NOTE: The date on the meter stamp should correspond to the date when your 
mail goes to the post office.

EXAMPLE:  If your mail goes to the Post Office at 3:00 PM each day, 
then set the date advance to "3:00 PM". Any mail processed after 3:00 
PM will have the date for the following day printed on it. This ensures 
that the date printed on the mail piece corresponds with the date it is 
brought to the Post Office.

NOTE:  Turn Daylight Savings Time on in the Spring and off in the Fall.
