Graphics and Permit-Only Printing

If you have a graphics and permit-only printing system, you have a fully-featured Connect+® Series system with a deactivated meter, which prevents postage printing. Graphics and permit-only systems can run non-postal jobs as well as utilize sealing and accounting features with no meter charges.

NOTE: Although a Connect+® Series graphics and permit-only system cannot print postage, the United States Postal Service (USPS) still requires an electronic inspection of the meter. Periodically, you will receive a "Postal Inspection Required" message on your system. You can check your balance at Pitney Bowes to satisfy this requirement. Refer to Your Postage Meter for more information about postal inspections.

Running Mail

With a graphics and permit-only system you can:

• Print the correct date on a piece of mail that already has postage printed on it.
• Print the received date and time on incoming mail for record keeping.
• Print a graphic on the envelope.
• Print a permit on a piece of mail.
• Seal envelopes without printing postage.
• Count how many pieces of mail you run.
• Track the mail you run with the integrated accounting feature.

NOTE: If the default job on your system is a postal job, the Low Funds warning will appear each time you open the Run Mail application. Change the default job to a job that does not print postage (e.g. Permit or Graphic ad only) to prevent this message from appearing.

NOTE: The following message will appear on the Run Mail screen: Alert 1 of 1: Funds Manager: PSD funds available are below monetary limit set by user in FM Refill Setup screen. You can ignore this message on graphics and permit-only printing systems.
