What does it mean when the display screen reads “inspection due” or “inspection required”?
“Inspection” means that the U.S. Postal Service needs to check your meter. They require that all postage meters be “inspected” on a regular basis. This is done over the phone automatically whenever you do a “Postage Refill.” This message will only be displayed if you haven’t done a “Postage Refill” in over 90 days. If an INSPECTION REQUIRED message is displayed on your machine and you do not need to add postage, plug the phone line in and press the FUNDS button, then CHECK AMT AVAILABLE TO DOWNLOAD. Your machine will be “Inspected”. Once the amount is displayed, press CLEAR/BACK and return to main screen.
