Pitney Bowes DM1000 User Manual

Since your postage meter (Postal Security Device) is licensed by the United 

States Postal Service (USPS), you must follow a few basic requirements.



• Mail must have the correct date and postage amount in the meter 

stamp.

• Metered mail must bear the ZIP Code location of the post office where 

the postage meter (Postal Security Device) is registered.

• If you move to another ZIP Code location, you must update the ZIP 

Code. You can do this by calling Postage by Phone®.

• Each time you refill your postage meter (Postal Security Device) through 

the modem or LAN, the Postage By Phone® Meter Payment System 

computer automatically performs a postal inspection. If the postage 

meter in your mailing machine has not detected a modem or LAN refill 

transaction at certain intervals, the message “Inspection Required” 

appears on the main screen of the IntelliLink® Control Center. (The sys-

tem will then prompt you to connect to Pitney Bowes and perform an 

inspection.)

• The postage tape you use must meet USPS specifications.

• Use only Pitney Bowes approved supplies, in particular aerosol dusters. 

Improper storage and use of aerosol dusters or flammable aerosol dust-

ers, can cause an explosive-like condition that could result in a personal 

injury and/or property damage. Never use aerosol dusters labeled flam-

mable and always read instructions and safety precautions on the 

duster container label. 

• Use the power cord supplied with the machine and plug it into a properly 

grounded wall outlet located near the machine and easily accessible. 

Failure to properly ground the machine can result in severe personal 

injury and/or fire. 

• The power cord wall plug is the primary means of disconnecting the 

machine from the AC supply.

• Do not remove the power cord's ground pin and do not use a ground 

adapter. 

• Make sure the area in front of the power outlet is free of obstruction.

• DO NOT route the power cord over sharp edges or trap it between 

pieces of furniture. Make sure there is no strain on it.

• To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, DO NOT attempt to remove 

covers or disassemble the equipment. The housing encloses hazardous 

parts.  If any components are  dropped or otherwise damaged, report 

such damage to your Pitney Bowes customer service representative.

• Keep fingers, long hair, jewelry, neck ties, and loose clothing away from 

moving parts at all times.

• When removing jammed material, avoid using too much force to prevent 

personal injury and damaging equipment.

• To prevent overheating do not cover system vent openings.

 Follow normal safety precautions for all office equip-

ment whenever using your mailing system.
