Pitney Bowes DM1000 Manuale Utente

Postage By Phone® Meter Payment System is a Pitney Bowes service that 

you use to add postage to your meter. You can access the Postage By 

Phone® System 24 hours a day, 7 days a week through your IntelliLink® 

Control Center. For more information, refer to the Postage By Phone® Sys-

tem materials furnished with your system.

 If you need 

assistance, have your account number ready and call  the Postage By 

Phone® System number. Refer to the Pitney Bowes Contact Information 
List

 at the front of this guide for the phone number. 

The  postage meter on your mailing system is a Postal Security Device 

(PSD) that incorporates the latest technology approved by the United 

States Postal Service to secure funds. This technology eliminates the need 

to perform physical inspections thereby making the system easier and 

more convenient to use. The PSD contains the funds and performs all of 

the calculations necessary to print meter stamps that comply with the latest 

USPS standards. 
The United States Postal Service (USPS) licenses your meter and requires 

a modem inspection of the meter. Periodically, your IntelliLink® Control 

Center will be required to connect to Postage By Phone® as a means of 

inspecting the PSD (Postal Security Device) and validating information in 

your Control Center. 
To ensure that your operations are not interrupted, the time periods for the 

Data Center Connection are pre-established in your system, and will give 

adequate warning to you when this connection may be required:
• The message “Data Center Contact Required” will first be shown 

approximately 21 days after your last connection. The Control Center 

will allow you to either “Connect Now” or “Later.” By selecting “Later”, 

you enter a grace period that lasts approximately 7 days. 

• The “Data Center Contact Required” message will appear each day for 

7 days (when you power-up your system), and will only disappear after 

a successful connection. This may also appear on the main screen in 

reverse-type with the “Connect to Data Center” message.

• On the 28th day after your last successful connection, your Control 

Center will display a message, “You will not be able to print postage 
until this process is completed.

” Please connect to the Postage By 

Phone® Data Center to continue your operations.

• Follow the prompts on your Control Center or perform a Balance Inquiry 

to make a successful connection. After a successful connection, your 

screen will indicate “Data Center Contact Complete.” 

To improve overall productivity, Pitney Bowes recommends that you estab-

lish a “constant connection,” where a LAN connection or phone line is con-

nected to your Control Center (direct or wireless), or you use an approved 

alternative connection. See the Connection Alternatives – Review section 

of this guide for more details.
