 Always run a test print (at $0.00 postage) before using Custom Messag-

ing to ensure proper placement on an envelope. Custom Messaging prints a 

custom message or other information directly to the left of your postage meter 

imprint and any Postal Endorsements or Inscriptions on the envelope. This mes-

sage does not print on the left margin of the envelope, nor does your mailing 

system allow for placement of the custom message on your envelope. There-

fore, before printing a mailrun using this feature, you should always process a 

Test Print with ZERO POSTAGE to ensure that the full message is properly 

positioned on the envelope.

  In most cases, the Drop Shipment Authorization is printed using an 

Endorsement purchased from the Pitney Bowes Online Store. The Custom Mes-

saging feature of the DM Series™ may satisfy USPS requirements for Drop 

Shipment endorsements on your mailings. However, the application and 

endorsement format must be authorized locally by the USPS. Under current 

Postal guidelines, the local business mail entry management of the USPS must 

approve the application or endorsement format for mail deposited as “Drop 

Shipment Authorization.” Contact the USPS directly for further guidance.
