Print a Meter Stamp with an Advanced Date

You may want to advance the date printed on the meter stamp if it is after normal business hours and you want to prepare outgoing mail for a future business day's mailing.

Advanced Date Features

• You can advance the date up to 30 days from the current date.
• Changing the printed date does not change the machine's internally held date.
• You can always return the printed date to the current date.
• You cannot change the printed date to a date earlier than the machine's internally held date, in an effort to "backdate" the mail.
• Accounting data is posted on the actual date the mail piece is run (per the internal clock/calendar in the mailing system), not by the date printed on the meter stamp.

How to Advance the Date Manually

2. Select the Options button from the list on the left.

     1. Tap the text field and enter the number of days from the keypad. Select the Return key.
